Focused on identifying ways to make businesses more valuable

Over 20 years I focused on learning how strong product focus, systems and financial storytelling transform good companies into modern organizations commanding higher valuations.

They are multi-product, customer driven companies. CEOs work less IN and more ON the business. They have a clear value proposition and create loyal supporters. They have put in place systems that work for both keeping the culture and distance themselves from key man dependency. Finally they focus on cash generation and on monitoring/communicating financial performance.

And investors reward them with higher valuations.

Investors prioritize risk mitigation. They prefer companies with stable systems and predictable output. Investors think in terms of red flags. Every red flag is a bow to valuation. Too many of them and the transaction is off entirely.

I work internationally with entrepreneurs and shareholders building modern organizations as CEO, product lead or project manager.
