How Can I Help?
Throughout my experiences I have learned the organizational leadership dynamics, practical decision making, commercial strategies, focus, and execution required to lead a successful business. I am now focused on leveraging my experiences to provide support, mentoring, and business advice to executives with businesses in the range of $1M-$20M in revenue.
An excellent complement to founders and innovators, I bring experience-based, thoughtful, practical, and transparent input in a highly engaged manner to the successful business leaders that I workwith.
I have successfully worked with CEOs and Founders to become a trusted peer bringing impartial perspective, relevant experiences, and a network of relationships with vendors and customers that provide a unique value for theirbusiness.
You know how challenging it is to be the leader of a small business and the breadth of decision making required. There’s great empowerment and often clarity in accessing perspective, and relevant experiences in a confidential and peer-to-peer manner.
I am an Advisor to small business CEOs that are pre-investment and looking to grow their business, take on investment, and define an exit strategy. I also assist Private Equity & Venture Capital investors with diligence and consulting based upon my executive experience in leading healthcare and technology companies and my understanding of these markets.
My focus is on providing CEOs and their key staff with:
- Independent, thoughtful and candid feedback
- Confidential peer-level counsel, dialogue, and challenging discussion – the CEO role is a lonely role and often requires someone to exchange confidential and constructive ideas
- Practical, logical, experience driven dialogue. This is not high level blue sky advice, I have not authored any books. I simply have been passionately and deeply involved in running businesses in a very hands-on manner for many years. I enjoy working with talented company leaders.
- Leadership development. Stretch your skills into the areas where you are not as comfortable but which are critical for your business
- Business Development – I have been selling, managing customer messaging, and engaging customers in trusted relationships for 20+ years. I often play a role in which I assist directly with clients in these
It is YOUR Company, the decisions and the business are yours! I’m here to provide perspective and support that simplifies, streamlines, and improves your ability to drive your successful business.
