Looking for help getting your business to the next level -- but tired of ‘consultants’ who give you high-level advice, then go away... leaving you alone to do the actual work?Need someone who can provide senior-level guidance -- yet is also willing to roll up his sleeves and pitch in along with you... AND put his money where his mouth is, by sharing risk based on the outcome?I am a business adviser with a decidedly different approach. Backed by over 30 years of accelerating growth, I offer broad-based skills in business operations, client services, sales/marketing, finance/administration, merger & acquisition and exit planning. I work with growth-stage businesses trying to get to the next level -- they have products and revenues, but are either too small or lack key resources to enable them to achieve their goals. My focus is on helping such companies get to THEIR next level. I team with the founders to assess needs/challenges – first setting specific goals and milestones... then working ‘hands-on’ on a part-time basis to help achieve these milestones, pitching in as part of their senior team to get their business to where they want it to be. I have found that there are many emerging ventures with solid concepts and products, who need access to senior talent across many areas to scale their company... yet at their current stage have difficulty bringing on such ‘been-there/done-that’ resources on a full-time basis. Therefore, my ability to wear multiple-hats and contribute across several functions -- combined with my flexibility as a contract-based resource AND my willingness to share risk by deferring a portion of compensation against milestone achievement -- offers a very interesting alternate path for businesses like yours.In summary, my practice reflects a rather unique ‘founder-friendly’ model -- with a genuine interest in seeing ventures get to their next-level... and I'm willing to pitch in both physically and financially to help get them there.
