Most businesses don’t need another diagnosis. The CEO usually has a rough sense of what’s wrong already. What they need is someone to own the fix — and stay until it holds.
Traditional consulting ends at the recommendation. A thick deck lands on the CEO’s desk, everyone nods, and then nothing changes because the hard part — execution — was never anyone’s job.

You get senior operating judgment without a full-time executive’s cost or commitment. For most growth-stage companies, that’s exactly the right amount of help at exactly the right time.
