Given my razor-sharp focus on Retail Banking, I carefully manage my portfolio of activities to ensure no conflict of interest.
Service Offerings
advisor
I act as a standalone resource to senior executives and major consulting firms. In this capacity I typically spend a few hours to ensure the client has a real understanding of the topic or issue and its implications. Some clients I meet with regularly to discuss industry developments or to act as a sounding board for ideas. Examples of what I do include:
Provide immediate insights on industry developments
Offer input on strategy and tactical decisions
Enhance client credibility and understanding of the market
Critically assess and improve proposals and go-to-market ideas
Help consulting teams with problem solving and reality-test recommendations
Problem solver
I act as leader of an internal team or a team of experts that I establish through my network of partners. We ensure the right players are part of the team to address a specific issue. We approach the problem in an efficient way and quickly get to results that will solve the problem and materially impact Net Income growth. Examples include:
Define and solve a specific business problem such as building market share in a given category, growing your customer base or improving customer experience
Determine a set of actions to improve profitability which could include revenue growth, improved margins and cost reduction
Assess and improve a portfolio of initiatives
Build strategy
