As a Management Consultant I bring to my clients extensive experience in business planning to support, new business ventures, turn arounds and developing high performance teams. I am uniquely qualified to help organizations in the following roles and core competencies:
Interim Operations Executive – this is an attractive option for organizations who want a seasoned operations executive to assess the health of their business or when they simply need an experienced leader to keep their business on track and moving forward until the new leader & reinforcements arrive.
Thought Leadership – for some clients there is real value in having a trusted advisor, confidant and thought partner to senior executives. Someone who has sat in their chair who can act as a sounding board when faced with exciting growth opportunities or marketplace challenges - a business advisor who opens up their perspectives and gives them a new way to see the possibilities.
Planning on Purpose – drawing upon my many years of planning experience I am qualified and have a talent to step in and provide advice and counsel on market development strategies, go-to-market initiatives and in the moment counsel when opportunities arise.
