Sometimes you need another brain in the room. Sometimes you need a defined problem solved. Sometimes the work needs someone to own it alongside you.
The structure changes. The standard does not: listen carefully, make the real choice, and stay close enough to see whether it works.
You have people who can execute. You want an experienced operator helping you make better decisions.
Bring the decision you keep circling, the strategy that needs pressure-testing or the trade-off nobody is naming. I will ask questions, challenge the logic and help turn the conversation into a real choice.
There is a clear problem, build or initiative with a finish line.
This could be a growth strategy, customer and market decision, operating model, cross-functional build, launch or translation of a corporate direction into something people can actually execute.
The work needs an owner, not another recommendation.
I step inside the business to lead a defined strategic or operating priority, connect the people involved and build what is missing. The role can expand or contract as the work changes.
These are not three boxes. Work can move between them as the problem becomes clearer and the company's needs change.
Every engagement is shaped around what needs to move and how much of it I need to own.
But to give you an idea, strategic sparring is CAD $1,500 per month, embedded partnerships start at CAD $3,500 per month, and focused projects are priced around the scope.
Broader mandates, more functions and more time inside the business mean a larger investment. Most ongoing work begins with a three-month commitment because it takes context to do this properly.
You do not need to choose before getting in touch. Start with what is happening.
At the embedded starting point, I take ownership of one important priority.
That might be finding the next growth focus, building an operating rhythm, reducing a founder bottleneck, leading one launch or putting ownership and measures around a cross-functional initiative.
It does not mean running the entire company, managing several functions or being available every day. If the mandate expands, the engagement changes with it.
See the situations I work onNo. Start with what is happening. I will help determine whether the situation needs another brain, a defined project, embedded ownership, or something I do not offer.
Yes. A focused project can uncover a need for hands-on implementation. An embedded engagement can also narrow into advisory once the team is able to carry the work.
No. Projects are priced around a defined scope. Ongoing work is priced around the mandate, level of involvement and capacity reserved for the company.
Most ongoing engagements begin with a three-month commitment. The aim is not permanent dependency. We agree on what needs to be true for the work to narrow, transfer or end.
You do not need to select an engagement.
