FirstMate (CEO Personal Advisor) Service

Join me on my latest venture and check out FirstMate, a service designed to help CEOs successfully bring their strategic agenda into reality.


As you know, most of the time, CEOs have a strategic agenda that they want to implement – be it corporate expansion, growth acceleration, or profitability turnaround.


However, it's not easy to implement this strategic agenda.


Imagine you are standing at the helm of a ship (the organization), navigating through a turbulent sea (market disruptions) under an intense storm (shareholder expectations) – while being shackled by organizational resistance, tightening budgets, and resource constraints.


Moreover, the fog of ambiguity shrouds the path, making it difficult to discern the optimal direction.


In such a tempest, a first mate (a trusted advisor) with deep experience can be the lighthouse cutting through the darkness, providing clarity and strategic guidance.


Their role is to help you, the CEO, navigate these treacherous waters, offering a steady hand and insightful counsel to weather the storm, break free from the shackles, and reach the shores of success.


This is why successful CEOs usually have a personal advisor that is competent, capable, and committed (3C) to help them implement their strategic agenda.


For example, Napoleon had Berthier, his most indispensable marshal, who translated the Emperor's strategic vision into reality via meticulous execution.


Roosevelt had Hopkins, his most capable deputy, who oversaw crucial strategic programs that helped the President overcome the Great Depression, World War II, and the post-war challenges.


Churchill had Lindemann, his most trusted advisor, who worked hard to make the Prime Minister's wishes come true.


In a similar capacity, I help CEOs (as their personal advisor) to realize their strategic agenda – while overcoming the sea of disruptions, a storm of expectations, the fog of ambiguity, and the shackles of organization resistance, tight budgets, and resource constraints.


I typically generate a multi-million-dollar impact. Given my reasonable daily rate (not cheap, but very reasonable), this means I generate a ten-fold return (+1,000%) at the very least.


For example, I recently helped Ferrero ($12B) in their growth acceleration and post-merger integration initiatives. Impacts include $100M savings from price and cost synergies.


I can help you implement your strategic agenda effectively and successfully due to the unique combination of my 3C. For details on this service, click here.
