Owners & Investors
I work with the people responsible for businesses — owners, CEOs, chairmen, controlling shareholders and senior executives — and with those who oversee portfolios of operating companies.
The ownership structure varies. The common thread is someone accountable for a real business, assets or international operations, facing a commercial situation where an experienced outsider can help. I’ve spent more than 25 years building, operating and advising in those environments.
Operating Businesses You Own or Oversee
A business may have the right market and assets but still fail to reach its potential. I work with the people in charge and their management teams to identify what is preventing progress and help address it.
Significant Commercial Decisions
Before a major acquisition, restructuring, expansion or strategic change, there are often questions that analysis alone does not answer. I bring an operating perspective to those decisions.
Creating Greater Value
Sometimes the opportunity is to change how a business operates, sells, grows internationally or captures value. I work with leaders to identify and develop those opportunities.
My involvement may be a defined intervention, an ongoing mandate or, in selected cases, an equity relationship.
I take on a limited number of engagements and prefer direct involvement where I can make a meaningful contribution.
