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

I served in the Prime Minister's Office during a global crisis. Now I advise leaders like you.

I served in the Prime Minister's Office during the 2008 global financial crisis. Chief of Staff at the Senate of Canada during the pandemic. Published in Forbes and Newsweek. I work with self-made entrepreneurs and high-net-worth business owners who've built something significant — and want to protect it, grow it, or turn it into lasting legacy.

I work with successful, experienced leaders — primarily in the United States — who take people seriously only after trust is earned. If that sounds like you, let's talk.

How can I help?

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 deploy 30+ years of cross-sector experience for leaders who've built something worth protecting. My clients don't need more advice — they need someone who has operated at the highest levels and can help them make the right call when it matters most.

How I Work

Three tracks. One outcome: clarity and execution.

01
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 trusted strategic partner 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 • High-net-worth individuals who take people seriously only after trust is earned
02
Government & Stakeholder Navigation

The Bridge

Business people operate on rational, economic logic. Government operates on political logic. The two don't map — and the gap costs millions. I've been on both sides: inside Canada's Prime Minister's Office during a global crisis and across the table from developers hemorrhaging money fighting a system they don't understand. I don't lobby. I translate. I build the relationships that turn adversaries into partners, and I protect you from the instinct to fight the very people who control your outcome. One client saved $500,000 and six months because I made government his partner instead of his enemy.

For: Business owners running projects that collide with government or regulatory bodies • Investors and developers navigating approvals, permits, and institutional stakeholders • Leaders who have already lost money fighting the system and need a trusted operator on both sides
03
Leadership, Growth & High-Value Projects

Strategic Advisory & Executive Counsel

Some challenges don't fit the standard playbook: stalled development, leadership transitions, organizational complexity, or closing $10K–$100K+ engagements. I partner with leaders who need execution.

For: Executives navigating complexity • Founders closing high-ticket offers • Organizations in transition

Framework
