Five different leaders, one shared moment:

Chief Innovation Officer. VP of Strategy. Innovation lead. You have the mandate, but not the momentum. You need someone who's built innovation strategies and operating models across industries and cultures, and knows how to adapt what's worked elsewhere to fit where you are now.

You lead a foundation or family office, whether you're starting from a blank page or rethinking an approach that no longer fully reflects where you are now. You want to make sure your efforts are driving as much impact as possible, and need help from someone who understands both traditional and impact investing, but also brings insights from operating within grant-based non-profits and social enterprises.

Markets, technology, and consumers are changing faster than your company can keep up with, and you don't have the space in the day-to-day to think about solutions. You need someone who's worked with CEOs across industries — someone who knows how to pivot strategies, cultures, and operating models — so you can move faster and adapt to the change around you.

You're passionate about early stage investing, enough to take the leap into launching your own venture fund, studio, or angel practice. You need someone who's actually built early stage venture infrastructure before, from investment thesis and portfolio strategy down to founder sourcing and selection, so you launch with a high functioning fund instead of spending your first year building the basics from scratch.

You're an expert in your space, but starting a company is its own discipline, and you don't want to learn it the hard way. You need someone who's been in enough strategic and operating roles in startups to know what works, so you can move faster, avoid costly mistakes, and turn your idea into something real.
