Consider an Advisor
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a third party objective resource? How about a sounding board for reviewing plans, an idea source for planning implementation, a responsive expert for questions and advice, a support system for accountability, or just a devil’s advocate to review potential key decisions.
We offer three types of Advisory Services:
- Executive Advisor – for senior-level corporate executives
- Startup Advisor – for executives at start-up and emerging companies
- Consultant Advisor – for consultants and professional services firms
Contact us for more information.
