Founders carry a kind of responsibility that does not disappear with success.
I work with founders and owner/operators who have built enduring enterprises and are navigating:
• growth beyond original identity
• fatigue after decassed of responsibility
• leadership transition or succession
• sale, partial exit, or post-exit recalibration
• questions of stewardship, legacy, and timing
Having led a founder-owned firm for decades and guided it through sale, I understand the emotional, structural, and reputational complexity of these moments.
This work is discreet, candid, and experience-based — focused less on optimization and more on clarity, judgement, and long-term consequence.
