The Practice
Careers at this altitude
are not managed. They are
composed.
By the time an executive reaches the top of an organization, the default career playbook has expired. There is no manager to promote you. There is no HR partner writing your story. There are only markets, mandates, and reputations — most of them formed in rooms you are not in.
Our career consulting practice exists for exactly that moment. We partner with a small number of senior executives each year to shape the next decade of their working lives — with the same rigor a board would apply to a strategic acquisition.
"We do not write resumes. We build the machinery of a modern executive career — and then we operate it, quietly, alongside you."
Fourteen Disciplines
A complete architecture for
the modern executive career.
Every engagement is drawn from — and tailored around — the disciplines below. Nothing is bought in isolation; everything is composed into a single coherent whole.
Career Strategy
A structured framework for defining the next five to ten years — sectors, geographies, capital sources, and roles worth pursuing.
Executive Branding
A cohesive professional identity: narrative, positioning statement, visual system, and voice that carry across every touchpoint.
Executive Resume
A single, disciplined document engineered for search consultants, boards, and hiring executives at C-suite level.
Executive CV
Long-form academic and international CVs for cross-border mandates, governance appointments, and advisory roles.
Executive Biography
Speaker bios, board bios, and investor-grade one-pagers — each tuned to its audience without losing continuity.
LinkedIn Presence
A quiet, credible LinkedIn — headline, about section, featured content, and inbound signals calibrated to search behavior.
Interview Coaching
Preparation for board interviews, panel dynamics, case discussions, and referencing conversations at the highest level.
Leadership Positioning
How you are read by chairs, sponsors, and search partners — refined through message architecture and rehearsed intent.
Board Readiness
Structured preparation for NED, advisory, and committee mandates — governance, financial fluency, and boardroom presence.
Executive Networking
A deliberate map of who to know, who to reach, and how to open doors that matter — no volume, only relevance.
Promotion Strategy
A twelve-to-twenty-four month plan to move up internally — sponsorship, visibility, mandate scope, and executive presence.
Career Transition
Sector pivots, geographic moves, corporate-to-PE crossings — engineered with continuity of narrative and momentum.
Salary & Package Strategy
Base, bonus, LTIP, equity, sign-on, severance — negotiated with market intelligence and disciplined restraint.
Personal Branding
The reputation layer beyond LinkedIn: publications, panels, media, and boards — chosen to compound over a decade.
The Engagement
Five phases,
one continuous arc.
Every mandate follows the same architecture — even when the deliverables are radically different. This is what discipline at the executive level looks like.
- Phase IStep 01
Discovery
A confidential intake session mapping ambitions, constraints, and the shape of the next chapter.
- Phase IIStep 02
Diagnostic
An honest audit of positioning, market perception, and gaps against the roles you are targeting.
- Phase IIIStep 03
Architecture
Narrative, documents, and digital presence are rebuilt as one system — coherent from a distance and up close.
- Phase IVStep 04
Activation
Warm introductions, targeted outreach, and search-firm visibility — sequenced for signal, not noise.
- Phase VStep 05
Negotiation
Offer strategy, package structuring, and counterparty management through to signature.
"For twenty years I let my career happen to me. Six months with this practice, and for the first time I was the author, not the subject — a Chair role I would never have known existed, and terms I would never have thought to ask for."
