From the training ground to your company
Turnaround and restructuring

A recovery plan that actually gets done, with clear priorities, timing and ownership.
Strategy and business plan

Positioning choices turned into a workable plan, not a document to file away.
Integration and supply chain

Purchasing and supply chain as a competitive lever, after an acquisition or during growth.
Owners, boards and investors
He has worked with family businesses, boards and private equity funds, leading integrations, acquisitions and change management.
Someone who speaks both the owner’s language and the investor’s.
