Your business, or one that you’ve invested in, is facing a strategic growth opportunity, transaction, exit, threat, or simply needs to wind down in the most orderly fashion possible. Now is not the time to hire and train. You need an experienced executive who has seen all sides of these kinds of circumstances, can offer intelligent counsel, and take charge of key initiatives without hand holding.
We have helped numerous companies make the most of strategic opportunities as well as confidently navigate challenging circumstances.
Where We Help
Startups – Launching a new business? This is an important stage to get the fundamentals right. We help startups make smart decisions about corporate structure and governance, IP protection, and go-to-market plans. As “doers” we often step into an interim executive position to allow founders to focus on products and customers.
Expanding to U.S. market – Progress goes much faster when a non U.S. based business has someone on the ground here to: get an office established, hire and manage key personnel, meet with prospects and partners, and negotiate essential agreements. Acting as General Manager of U.S. Operations is one of the things we do best.
Growing companies – When growth opportunities present themselves – either organic, rapid customer interest or strategic options like partnerships, mergers or acquisitions – senior leaders aren’t always available to help you capitalize. As interim executives with significant business development experience, we are available to help your business capitalize on opportunity.
M&A, Sale, Succession – The potential for a major transaction to distract you and your team from focusing on what makes your business valuable in the first place is great. We help our clients avoid distractions and make informed decisions.
Distressed companies – When a business is no longer viable or faces a crisis, it’s never more important to make smart decisions. Because these circumstances are foreign to most executives, it’s easy to inadvertently make costly mistakes. We are available to act as advisors to existing management or to take full fiduciary responsibility in an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
Does your business fit one of the situations we describe? If so, it would make sense for us to talk. Feel free to contact us, or read on to learn about How We Work.
