Increase revenue, save money, and grow profits by optimizing your strategy, solving problems, improving processes, and aligning your organization
If you’re a startup founder, small business owner, or executive, it can be difficult to find unbiased, competent advice. Organizational politics, competitive pressures, a challenging economy, and the weight of responsibility to your employees, investors, and community can all put you in a lonely place as you try to succeed in a constantly-changing business landscape.
My goal is to be your business consigliere, helping you to solve your business challenges and achieve your aspirations. I have been a founder, investor, small business owner, and an executive in both small and large organizations, including as the right-hand advisor to the CEO of a small company under $10MM and to a major corporate division head running a $1B+ business unit. I can help you refine your strategies, improve your processes, tighten up your finances, strengthen your teams, and ultimately build a stronger business.
If you have dreamed of a strategic thought partner and advisor who can help align all your business functions toward growth, let’s have a conversation.

Terry –
As I seek to sell the company that I founded almost 30 years ago, Nick's advice has been invaluable. His due diligence work helped me understand the valuation, identify what my options are, and what practical steps I should take to prepare my business for these major changes. Thank you, Nick, for all your help.
