Strategic Advisory for Business Owners Navigating Complexity
I help you see what you can't see — where you're misaligned, what actually matters, and what to do next.
Strategic clarity through pattern recognition.
Most business owners know something's off but can't pinpoint where the friction actually lives. Revenue is growing but margins are shrinking. Decisions feel harder than they should. What worked at $10M doesn't work at $30M.
The problem is usually misalignment — not effort. I identify these patterns and show you what needs to change.
What I see
Strategic misalignment that's invisible from inside your operation: pricing models that don't account for actual delivery costs, decision patterns that create bottlenecks, organizational structure that worked for 10 people but breaks at 50, trust breakdowns between teams that create operational paralysis.
What I bring
Over 30 years, I've worked with Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and organizations across 6+ countries. Pattern recognition across industries allows me to spot misalignment quickly — typically within the first couple hours of working together.
I don't just diagnose problems. I deliver the roadmap to fix them — financial models, systems architecture, implementation sequencing, and decision frameworks based on your actual numbers and constraints.
Who this is for
I work with $20M-$100M business owners who are growing revenue but experiencing margin compression or organizational friction.
If what worked at $10M is breaking at $30M, we should talk.
How I Work
Clarity through systems thinking and pattern recognition.
I don't give you theoretical frameworks. I deliver decision-grade clarity with your actual numbers and constraints.
Through diagnostic sessions, I identify where you're misaligned, then show you what fixing it looks like—financial scenarios, technology architecture, partnership structures, implementation roadmaps.
You receive:
- Systems Misalignment Diagnostic Report
- Strategic roadmap with sequenced initiatives
- Financial models showing ROI of proposed changes
- Implementation frameworks you can execute with your team or partners
Once you can see the patterns creating friction and what solving them requires, the right decisions become obvious.
Track Record
Proven pattern recognition across Fortune 500, government, and growth companies.
Over 30 years, I've worked with organizations across industries and countries to identify what's broken and design the systems to fix it:
Fortune 500 & Global Enterprise:
- AIG (Hong Kong): Executive team development + organizational training systems
- PepsiCo (Asia-Pacific): Leadership transformation
- Shell (Oil Sands): Operations team alignment
Government & Public Sector:
- US Air Force Special Weapons Lab: Organizational diagnostic + real-time team intervention resolving finance/operations conflict
- US Fish & Wildlife Services: Leadership development
- Manitoba Public School District: 3,400-person presentation + superintendent team strategy
Technology & Business Scaling:
- 37 Microsoft partner organizations: Channel strategy growing collective revenue from $20M to $120M over 4 years
- 25 AI automation agencies: Market positioning and strategic focus across multiple sectors
International Consulting:
- UK school turnaround initiative: Training intervention teams for underperforming schools
- Cross-cultural delivery across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific
I've trained audiences from 1 person to 3,400 people. I've facilitated organizational interventions with military operations teams, corporate executives, and public sector leaders. I've guided hundreds of technology investment decisions across multiple industries, applying diagnostic methodology to ensure organizations invest in what they actually need—not what vendors want to sell them.
I understand systems, incentives, and how misaligned decisions compound into expensive problems.
The pattern is always the same: capable teams working incredibly hard on misaligned effort. Once we identify what actually matters and align everything to it, performance becomes natural instead of forced.
Start with a Strategic Diagnostic Session
Identify what's holding you back and what to do about it.
Typical challenges I address:
- Revenue growth but margin compression — you're busier but less profitable
- Organizational scaling pain — team structure that worked before is failing now
- Strategic decisions under pressure — growth opportunities, capital, market shifts
- Operational complexity — AI strategy, tech stack design, process optimization
Built on systems thinking and teaching ability
Pattern recognition across industries and company stages.
I've trained thousands of professionals — from small groups to audiences of 3,400+ — breaking down complex systems into clear, actionable frameworks. That combination of systems thinking, strategic mapping, and teaching ability is what allows me to work with business owners at any level of complexity.
I design the solutions and can orchestrate specialist teams to implement them. You don't need to figure out execution — I coordinate implementation partners or work with your internal team to ensure the roadmap gets executed.
