Providing alternatives to the traditional President/CEO role
It’s All About You
Your business is our business. We believe in making your dreams and goals a reality; our experts know how to do that. We're prepared to help you at any level, from impartial advice or practical assistance to help you make the most of every opportunity.
General Council
- You're looking to keep things confidential. Maybe you are looking at a specific department for issues such as IT Security, Fraudulent Accounting, HR Policy and Procedure review, Health & Safety advancements/audits, Quality control, Operational KPIs, and/or Commercial / Product Stratagems. Let us help you with the templates for success.
- Short-term onsite or remote support and advisement is a welcome path we like to support. It was the company's initial inception and remains foundational to our growth.
Exec Turn-Over / Change Mgmt.
- You're a medium to a large business that needs to change executive leadership but do not want the negative impacts commercially or operationally, let alone emotionally. Maybe this is due to private, PE, or public acquisition, but you need to move fast. Yet, the process can have a 1-2 year opportunity cost that compounds annually.
- Hiring a contract Business Management Consultant enables you to maintain momentum....and we will gain some insights into the journey.
Our Expertise
- Over 25 years of global experience in the industrial sectors of automotive, automation, military, fabrication, textiles, packaging, and life sciences.
- Private, Public Equity, and Public Fortune 200 experience.
- International coverage of some of the world's most advanced automation, automotive, fabricating, and textile plants, enabling me detailed insights and interviews on best practices for management consulting.
- A humble leader who builds upon existing company cultures and teams to exploit missed market advantages while significantly minimizing the noise of daily busy work.
Strategic Advisor
- You're a small to medium North American/European business that needs advice on scaling but cannot afford an expensive consultant, let alone a President. Your inventory is out of hand; operations are missing deliveries, rampant quality issues, and/or turmoil in the ranks.
- All of these are unwelcome but regular parts of growing pains. However, If they are not addressed, they will influence your dreams and cash. A rapid-fire Interim CEO/President can be your advisor and scapegoat to implement needed change.
Food for Thought - A Healthy Digestible Offering
- Full-time employment with benefits is not required
- External consultants do not affect your head-count ratio
- You do not have to worry about severance packages and legalities
- Termination of the contract does not mean an end to further consulting and assistance
