Should I Resign?

Some decisions are too sensitive to discuss with with your team, investors, or even family.
I provide senior leaders, founders, and professionals with mature, independent, confidential perspective grounded in 25 years in law, banking and executive advisory.

How to Structure Co-Founder Relationships

Established businesses run on systems. Startups run on founders.
How you structure, negotiate and manage this relationship will make or break your company.
I guide your due diligence, commitment, vesting, exit, and continuity planning based on 25 years in law, finance and executive advisory.

Confidential Second Opinion When You're Stuck

I work with founders, executives, and investors who face a complex, strategic decision.

I bring 25+ years of experience in law, investment banking, executive leadership, and applied neuroscience to help clients structure their thinking, identify hidden assumptions, and move from confusion to clear, defensible decisions.

Clients typically leave with:
- Clear decision framing (what actually matters vs noise)
- A defensible decision logic
- Understanting of blind spots and hidden risks
- Confidence that the made the best decision under the circumstances

Example questions:
• Should I fire my co-founder?
• Should I leave my role?
• Should I raise capital now or wait?
• Should I sell my company now?
• Should I hire/ fire/ move a team member?
• Am I thinking clearly?
