Senior Advisor | Crisis-Tested. Trusted at the Top.

I advised the Prime Minister during a global financial crisis. Now I advise leaders like you.

I served as an advisor to the Prime Minister of Canada during the 2008 financial crisis. As Chief of Staff at the Senate of Canada during the 2020 pandemic. I've been featured in Forbes, Newsweek, the National Post, the Globe and Mail, and media globally. I now advise a select number of leaders who want a senior mind in their corner when the stakes are high.

I work with successful, experienced leaders — primarily in the United States — who value directness, credibility, and results over credentials alone. If that sounds like you, let's talk.

Where I add the most value
01

High-Stakes Decisions

The kind of decision your inner circle can't fully evaluate — acquisitions, successions, repositioning, exits. You need a senior mind who has operated at that level.

See the Advisory Retainer → 02

Government & Stakeholder Navigation

Government doesn't speak business. I've operated at the highest levels of both. I translate between worlds that desperately need each other.

See the Advisory Retainer → 03

Crisis & Transition Leadership

Stalled leadership, reputational crises, transitions that need to be handled with precision. I've managed crises at the national level — I bring that same discipline to your situation.

Who This Is For

I work with principals who are ready to move.

Not everyone is the right fit — and I mean that as a feature. My work is highest-impact for a specific kind of person in a specific kind of moment.

If you need a generalist consultant, a business broker, or someone to validate a decision you've already made — I'm not your person.
You own a business with real assets and revenue — and you're within 1 to 5 years of a transition
You're a founder or executive scaling through a high-growth inflection point and need strategic counsel
You're an acquirer or investor who needs market access, deal-level advisory, and someone who closes
You're navigating something complex — a succession, stalled project, leadership gap — and need execution, not advice
Let's See If There's a Fit

About

Tested under real pressure. Trusted at the highest levels.

I served in the Prime Minister's Office during the 2008 global financial crisis. I served as Chief of Staff at the Senate of Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. I've been published in Forbes and Newsweek on leadership, influence, and decision-making under pressure.

That experience isn't theory — it's pattern recognition earned in rooms where the wrong decision costs careers, companies, and public trust. Today, I bring that depth to a select group of self-made entrepreneurs, business owners, and high-net-worth individuals.

Through IBPROM Corp., I serve as a strategic sounding board for leaders who have built something significant. My clients don't need more advice — they need someone who has operated at the highest levels and can think alongside them when it matters most.

How I Work

One relationship. One outcome: clarity and execution.

The SPARK Framework

SPARK Advisory Retainer

You didn't build what you've built by following a playbook. You built it through instinct, relationships, and decisions made under pressure. But the higher the stakes get, the fewer people around you can see what you see — and the loneliness of command becomes a strategic liability. I'm not a consultant who sells advice. I'm a senior advisor who has been in the room when the stakes were national — serving in the Prime Minister's Office during a financial crisis and at the Senate of Canada during a pandemic. When you retain me, you get a confidential, direct-access relationship with someone who understands the weight of what you carry.

For: Self-made entrepreneurs who've outgrown their inner circle · Business leaders carrying decisions that affect significant capital, teams, or legacy · Leaders navigating government, regulatory, or institutional complexity · High-net-worth individuals who value directness, credibility, and results
