You're three months into a new role and the organization doesn't work the way leadership said it would.

Your board wants growth but your team is already stretched. Someone needs to say what's actually possible.

The strategy looks good on paper. Execution is where it's falling apart.

You're redesigning the operating model and need to think through what breaks if you get this wrong.

Culture and performance are both suffering. The fixes people keep suggesting aren't addressing what's actually broken.

You're launching something new—program, initiative, business line—and need to design it right, not retrofit it later.

You've been leading alone on decisions that should involve strategic thinking. You need a partner who's been in the room.

Strategic partnership for leaders building

You're making decisions that will determine whether this works or doesn't.

We help executives and founders think through what you're building—before you build it, while you're scaling it, when you need to redesign it. A strategic partnership that starts with where you actually are.

What we do

Strategy and advisory for leaders building, scaling, or redesigning work that matters.

 

We think through strategy, structure, and execution—the decisions that determine whether what you're building holds.

Research-informed.

 

Practitioner-tested. Built for real conditions.

Who we work with

We partner with executives, founders, and leadership teams across business, social impact, healthcare, education, and public sectors.

Organizations in transition—scaling, restructuring, launching new initiatives, or redesigning how they operate. Leaders making decisions that reshape strategy, structure, or culture. Teams navigating change that requires more than instinct to get right.

We work with enterprise-level organizations and early-stage ventures. Nonprofits with complex missions and startups building for scale. Public-sector leaders and cross-sector collaborations where multiple stakeholders need alignment.

If you're making organizational decisions with real consequences, we can help you think them through.

How engagements work

Every engagement is custom-built. We start with a discovery conversation to understand what you're navigating, what you need, and what success looks like.

Engagements range from focused strategic projects (4-12 weeks) to ongoing advisory partnerships (6-12 months). Some clients need us for a specific inflection point. Others need strategic thought partnership over time.

We scope to your reality—your budget, your timeline, your organizational capacity. Pricing reflects the scope and depth of work, not a rate card. We'll be transparent about what's involved before you commit.

You'll work directly with our team.
