— Work with me · Transformation executive
Mergers. Reorganisations. Re-platforming. The crossings that change how your company makes money — not just how it runs.
Fixed prices where they belong. Day rates where they’re earned.

One question decides which: Do you know the goal — or not?
The Far Shore 3 weeks
You don’t know the goal yet
“I surface the real why: What EBIT margin, by when? What synergies were promised — and are they still the same? What was the hidden goal behind the goal — just an ERP go-live, or actual growth? How were the extra costs supposed to pay for themselves?
You get A board-ready mission paper: Ready to sign.
The Assessment 4 weeks
You know the goal. But does your organisation carry it?
Everyone selling you the crossing says yes. They all earn on yes. I don't. I test how load-bearing your reality is for execution — not where you've been, not an as-is documentation exercise. Where you stand today. What's solid. What's hiding under the carpet.
You get a board-ready paper. The risks. The gaps.
Nothing obliges the next step. A named goal and an honest verdict are worth having either way.
— What next
Now the crossing itself.
-
Build
The Blueprint
The plan.
The drawing your builders build from — not a strategy deck, not a vendor's scope. The target operating model, the sequence, the cutover logic, written requirements toward integrators so they build to your plan instead of selling you theirs. 8–12 weeks with a cross-functional team.
You get: a plan an executive team can execute — with or without me.
-
Carry
The Crossing Lead
The mandate.
Full C-level accountability — rebuild, integrators, cutover — until the gain is real and the control you gave up still holds. Real decision authority, organ-level where the register requires it. Not advisory. The seat.
You get: the blueprint executed. I take over two mandates a year.
-
Hold
The Anchor
The safeguard.
The part everyone skips: what happens after landing. Guaranteed availability, quarterly health-reads with regression watch, enablement for whoever inherits the model. Because most transformations don't fail during the crossing — they fail six months later, quietly rebuilt back toward the familiar.
You get: the new operating model held — so nobody quietly rebuilds it back.
-
Alongside
The Line
The C-level advisory.
You lead this yourself. Three hours a month, your way — deep sessions or 15-minute decision calls, straight into my calendar. Right sequence, right priorities, no wrong turn that costs you six months.
You get: the right call before the wrong turn.
— Ready to talk
Fifteen minutes. No calendar. No name. No one watching you think.
I ask the questions Pauline trained me on. Sharp ones. You answer honestly — or don’t, and that tells me something too. At the end you’ll know which way in is yours, or that we’re not your answer. Either way, you leave with clarity you didn’t walk in with.

Fifteen minutes, scheduled. No forms, no deck, no pitch.
Straight to me — the person who would carry it. My calendar says what’s open.
