Three ways to work together.
No retainers designed to expand quietly. No 'discovery phases' that never end. Every engagement has a clear scope, a clear off-ramp, and a founder who could end it in 30 days without drama.
Founders who need a seasoned operator on speed-dial — not weekly hands-on work.
- ◆2 x 60-min working sessions / month
- ◆Async Slack + email between sessions
- ◆Board / investor prep support
- ◆Reviewed KPI and cash review
- ◆3-month minimum, month-to-month after
The most common engagement. I show up as your operating leader 2–3 days a week, run the cadence, and unblock the team.
- ◆Weekly leadership team cadence
- ◆Own the operating model & KPIs
- ◆Direct 1:1s with functional leads
- ◆Board & investor operating updates
- ◆Founder recovers 40%+ of their calendar
- ◆6-month minimum, 30-day off-ramp
Growth Readiness, Exit Readiness, PMI, or a Special Project. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, fixed fee.
- ◆30-day Growth Readiness sprint
- ◆Exit Readiness sprint
- ◆Post-Merger Integration
- ◆Special Projects
- ◆Clear deliverables & exit criteria
Equity arrangements considered for pre-revenue teams with strong fundamentals. I typically hold no more than four active engagements at a time.
A predictable start, always.
- Week 0
30-min fit call. No slides. If it's not the right fit, I'll tell you.
- Week 1
Onboarding, listening tour, and a working operating model.
- Weeks 2–3
First operating cadence, prioritized backlog, quick wins.
- Week 4
30-day review with the founder. Continue, adjust, or wind down.
