I work with leaders of technology and industrial companies on their strategic issues and decisions, and on moving complex projects forward. In Canada and internationally, with established ties in Europe and India.
Expertise
Targeted engagements to resolve a specific issue, or ongoing support for a transformation or a longer-term initiative.
Turning ambition into clear choices, realistic priorities and a measurable execution plan.
Structuring innovation to reduce complexity and uncertainty, speed up decisions and focus resources on the strongest opportunities.
A focus built across Canada, Europe and India. Identifying, qualifying and engaging the right partners to develop innovations, shape projects in new markets or diversify a value chain.
Sectors
Particular attention to organizations where technology, product development, operations and international markets meet.
Ways of working
Every engagement should improve the quality of decisions and the ability to act. Scope and duration are agreed at the outset. Deliverables stay simple, useful and easy for your team to take over.
A short, bounded piece of work to clarify the issue, compare the options, set out the trade-offs and reach a decision.
Help on a specific piece of work: project structuring, partner search, financial analysis, technology roadmap.
A recurring role alongside the chief executive or the leadership team, on agreed terms, to support a transformation over time.
I take on a limited number of engagements at a time, usually alone, sometimes alongside people from my network. For work in India, I collaborate closely with a trusted associate on the ground. If a project calls for resources or expertise I do not have, I will say so and point you elsewhere.
A first 30-minute conversation helps frame the issue and establish whether I am the right person.
