How We Work Together
Every engagement is built around one question: what does this business need to see that it isn’t seeing yet?
Senior Advisor — Retained
I work on retainer with PE firms, private credit platforms, middle-market companies, and family offices. Arrangements are non-exclusive and provide sustained creative and contrarian advice, deal origination and execution, and board-level judgment — typically 20–30% of my time. Compensation: cash retainer plus equity participation.
Board Member
I bring novel insights, contrarian analysis, international business experience, and strategic discipline to governance roles. I currently serve on the board of Employbridge (Apollo Global Management). Compensation: cash retainer plus equity.
Consulting — Short Sprints
Focused 30–90 day engagements with a defined deliverable. Examples: a strategic blind-spot audit, a capital structure review ahead of a financing event, a market entry playbook. These are not open-ended advisory relationships — they are targeted interventions with a specific output and a fixed fee.
Industries
My experience spans six continents. The industries where I have the deepest transaction and operating history:
- Agribusiness/Food
- Business Services
- Consumer Products
- Defense
- Financial Services
- Manufacturing
- Media/Entertainment
