Business strategy & growth
For organisations past the start-up phase and not yet corporate - the dangerous middle.
How this engagement works.
Most strategy consulting is a deck and an analyst. The Executive Presence sits inside your organisation as a fractional partner - walking the workflow, running the diagnostic, designing the framework, and embedding the change. Engagements are typically two to six months, with monthly check-ins and on-site days where geography allows.
- Typical engagement length
- 2-6 months
- Strategic outputs aligned to governance
- Board-ready
- Implementation, not just recommendation

Common questions.
Do you write the strategy or do we?
+
Co-designed. The strategy belongs to the organisation. The Executive Presence brings structure, external perspective and senior thinking - but the document is built with the board and exec, not handed down.
Can you sit on our exec or board as an interim member?
+
Yes - interim CEO support, interim COO support, and board observer roles are all possible. These are typically three- to six-month engagements while a permanent appointment is made.
How do you price strategy engagements?
+
Fractional monthly retainer is most common - between $8,000 and $20,000 per month depending on the depth of involvement. Defined-scope project pricing is also available.
