You may have questions.

I’ve worked with many different clients over the years. Here are straight answers to what clients ask me most.
Are you immediately available?

Maybe. My schedule fills months in advance due to high demand. I take on only select projects where I can truly add value. This focus lets me give my full attention to current clients. If your needs are urgent, I'm happy to suggest trusted peers who might have sooner openings.

Why wouldn't I keep this work in-house?

Your team is great at your core business. But they may lack the fresh view or special skills needed for big growth. I bring outside insights without the cost of a full-time hire. My cross-industry know-how helps spot blind spots your team might miss. My good name rests on your success.

How do I know we are a match?

We start with a free chat to see if we click. Good matches share three things: openness to new ideas, drive to take action, and desire for real change. I work best with clients who want a partner, not a report writer or a "yes"-person.

We already hired a consulting firm…

Good for you! I was an executive at PwC, Accenture, and IBM Consulting. I know how these firms work. I can turn their findings into action steps, fill skill gaps, or lead the change they suggest. Think of me as the bridge between their big ideas and your real-world results.

What does 24/7 access mean?

It means I'm there when you need me. You get my direct contact info, not a help desk. For higher-tier clients, I respond to urgent needs within hours, not days. You gain a trusted guide for tough choices, even outside normal work hours.

What makes your approach different from other consultants?

My reputation. You likely have never been served by a former intelligence professional.

How do we determine the right service level for my needs?

We'll start with a talk about your goals, timeline, and needs. Based on how complex and urgent your issues are, I'll suggest the best fit—whether that's quick insights, a focused project, or an ongoing team-up.

What industries do you specialize in?

I am known for my deep expertise in the life sciences industry. However, business strategy principles apply across sectors. This broad view often spots chances that experts in just one field might miss. For example, I have served clients like BMW, Munich Re, Delta Airlines, Morgan Stanley.

What happens if we need to pivot mid-engagement?

Business shifts, and strict plans often fail. Our work includes room to adapt as we learn new things. This ability to shift course sets my approach apart from old-school consulting. Your success is my priority.

How involved are you in the implementation phase?

One reason why I left big consulting is a a rare opportunity to "stick it" till the end. I prefer seeing things through. I stay engaged as you put ideas to work. How hands-on I am depends on your service level, from light guidance to direct leadership.
