Strategic advisory and operational execution for early- to growth-stage companies, from someone who has chaired the board, run the P&L, and sat across the table at the exit.
Thirty-plus years scaling companies from startup through product-market fit to rapid growth, with board-level and operating experience across software, insurance, oil & gas, and AI-driven operations. I have chaired private boards, served as a board member for not-for-profit organizations, and served as Chairman of a NASDAQ-listed company I took public.
I don't advise from the sidelines. I have built, scaled, and exited.
The stretch from early traction to a durable, scalable business is not a straight line, and it is not solved by effort alone. The Clivus Ascent is the discipline of strategy and operational execution that gets a company up that climb, built from three decades of doing it from the inside.
Helping leadership teams set direction, prioritize, and build a strategy that survives contact with execution.
Installing the systems and discipline, including EOS, that turn strategy into results, especially for companies outgrowing their founding-stage playbook.
Open to new board positions, and available to advise existing boards, bringing NASDAQ-level governance experience to private companies and not-for-profit organizations.
One-on-one counsel for CEOs navigating scale, ownership transitions, or a path to liquidity.
Twelve minutes on what you're building. You'll walk away with a sharper path forward, whether or not we work together.
