Strategic Advisory for Founders Who've Already Made It—
And Want to Make It Further
You didn't build a multi-million dollar company to make decisions alone. The complexity you're navigating now requires a thinking partner who understands the weight of what's at stake.
The Loneliness of the Founder's Chair
You've built something remarkable. Revenue is strong. The team is growing. From the outside, it looks like you've figured it out.
But here's what no one sees:
The decisions that keep you up at night—the ones that could make or break everything you've built. The strategic crossroads where there's no clear answer. The weight of being the only person who truly understands the full picture.
The irony? The more successful you become, the fewer people you can genuinely talk to.
Your board wants optimism. Your team needs confidence. Your investors expect results.
But who helps you think? Who challenges your assumptions before they become expensive mistakes? Who tells you the truth—even when it's uncomfortable?
Your Second Brain for Strategic Decisions
I work with a small, select group of founders—typically 5-10 at any time—who run businesses from $3M to $200M+.
This isn't consulting. There are no PowerPoint decks or 90-day implementation plans.
This is strategic partnership at the highest level:
In Defense
I help you see blind spots and avoid the catastrophic mistakes that come from being too close to your own business.
In Offense
I bring fresh perspective and pattern recognition from working with dozens of successful companies, helping you spot opportunities you'd otherwise miss.
The founders I work with don't need to explain their business model every call. They don't need motivation or tactics. They need someone who truly understands their situation, someone available when critical decisions arise, someone who will tell them the hard truth.
This path isn't for everyone
This is for you if:
- You run a business generating $3M+ in revenue (BoardRoom) or $500K-3M (Confidential)
- You're navigating complexity—whether that's scaling, acquisition, exit planning, team restructuring, or crisis management
- You value brutal honesty over comfortable reassurance
- You make decisions that can cost (or create) millions
- You're looking for a long-term thinking partner, not a quick fix
This is NOT for you if:
- You're looking for tactical advice or marketing tricks
- You want someone to implement things for you
- You're not ready for honest, direct feedback
- You're seeking a magic formula rather than strategic partnership
