Due diligence, post-acquisition integration, investor-facing strategy, portfolio company advisory, and NED roles.
Investment changes everything. Whether you're preparing your business to attract PE or strategic investment, going through due diligence as an acquisition target, integrating a newly acquired business, or trying to get a portfolio company back on track, the stakes are high and the margin for error is small. Investors want to see a business that's well-run, clearly positioned, and ready to scale. Too often, the reality doesn't match the pitch.
I've been on both sides of the investment table. I've prepared businesses for investment, gone through due diligence processes, led a business through PE investment to acquisition by Accenture, and been dropped into portfolio companies to fix problems post-acquisition. I work with leadership teams and PE firms to make sure the strategy is sound, the operations can support growth, and the story holds up under scrutiny. I build strategy that works through three lenses: it has to be credible to the market, practical for the team to execute, and compelling for investors.
Investors see through the pitch. They're looking for a business that's genuinely well-run, clearly positioned, and ready to deliver on its growth story. If you're preparing for investment, going through due diligence, or trying to get a portfolio company on track, I can help you make sure the reality matches the ambition.
