Three Disciplines, One Solution
A combination of structural architecture, crisis operations and investment strategy.
A Crisis Operator
Steps into situations as CRO, in radical transition as CTO, or as a trusted advisor in a fractional capacity. Identifies and roots out toxic elements so organizations can rebuild.
Investment Strategist
The discipline of deploying significant capital - knowing what something is worth when others are panicking. Planning and accountability. 30+ years in venture and distressed positions.
THE GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Every situation has its unique path through. The challenge - find it before it closes.

Read the full backgroundThe Framework
The basic organizing principles drawn from lessons learned.
Bring new perspectives.
The work begins after others have left the scene. Boards in crisis, funds trapped, companies mired in intractable dilemmas. We re-evaluate assumptions.
Find driving principles.
Every problem has root causes. The age-old culprits: toxic incentives, hostile counterparties, negative cycles, delayed decisions.
Preserve your options.
In evolving situations, options and off-ramps are key. Every plan needs alternative paths to success. We adjust and adapt.
