Advisory & Board
It's rarely a strategy problem. It's that the company underneath never got built to carry the growth.
Where I Work
01
The leadership and operating-model work that lets a company survive its own growth. I lived it scaling lululemon from $2B to $10B. The patterns repeat.
02
Org design, role clarity, and how decisions actually get made at the top. Psychological safety before scale. Influence over authority. Culture as competitive infrastructure. The work I wrote a book about.
03
Strategy is the easy part. I help you build the structure, the rhythms, and the decision rights that turn it into results.
04
Standing up real capability in new markets, not outsourcing. I built lululemon's India hub with nearly 50% women engineers and retention 35 points above the industry.
05
Not pilots. Not slideware. The hard questions about where AI changes the work, who owns the decision, and what your team has to learn before the tech lands.
06
I sit on three boards, and I've been the executive in the room briefing them. I know what good looks like from both sides of the table.
How I Work
I don't show up with a deck of best practices and a junior team. I show up as a peer to your leadership, with the scars of having run it myself, and I tell you what I see. If it's working, I say so. If it isn't, I say that too.
Engagements run from board advisory and quarterly strategy work to embedded support through a specific inflection point. When the work needs more hands, I bring senior leaders I've worked with for years, not a junior bench.
What Clients Can Expect
Direct feedback, including the parts that are hard to hear. Pattern recognition from someone who has run the work at scale, not just studied it.
And a steady reminder that good judgment runs on context, not instructions. True of your team. True of how I work with you.
