An independent voice when decisions carry weight.
Digital and organisational questions belong on the board’s agenda, yet the experience to assess them is rarely there. I bring it – in an advisory role or with formal responsibility.
Does this sound familiar?
A key decision is pending
Platform choice, outsourcing or a major investment: the consequences are hard to judge, and the proposal is one-sided.
A portfolio company needs clarity
As an investor, you want to know how robust the technology, costs and team really are.
A project is getting out of hand
The budget, timeline or benefits of a major project look questionable, and a second opinion is missing.
The board lacks digital experience
The board of directors is expected to exercise digital governance, yet no one at the table knows it from practice.
