Board & executive advisor
A standing technical voice for founders, boards and investors — diligence on acquisitions, sanity checks on roadmaps, and honest counsel between the formal meetings, from an operator rather than a career consultant.
This is for you if
- Your board has no one who can challenge the technology narrative
- An acquisition needs technical diligence before the offer goes out
- A founder wants a second opinion that is not on the payroll
- A large technology investment needs a sanity check before it is committed
What the engagement includes
Technical due diligence
An honest read on architecture, team, security posture and the cost of the debt you are about to buy.
Roadmap and architecture review
A structured challenge of the plan, the assumptions under it, and what it would take for it to be wrong.
Between the meetings
The call before the decision, not the memo after it — which is where advisory work is actually worth anything.
Board-ready narrative
Helping the technology story make sense to people who do not read architecture diagrams for a living.
How it usually runs
Usually a monthly call plus availability for the decisions that will not wait, with diligence work scoped separately.
What it is not
Not an executive who will run the function. Advisory is counsel and challenge; if the seat needs holding, take a fractional seat instead.
Bring the brief, or the empty seat.
Two paragraphs is enough. You’ll get an honest read on fit, timeline, and cost within two business days.
