Ideal client
Manufacturer with a senior-leadership gap that doesn't justify a full-time hire. Strongest fit after completing a Two-Week Onsite engagement (the partner already knows the operation), or for PE-backed operations between executive transitions, or for owner-operated businesses where the owner needs a partner-level peer in the building.
