Growth, not firefighting.
Chair and operating advisor for leadership teams that have outgrown the way they run. I work on the operating side of the business: how decisions get made, how work moves, and whether finance, systems and AI actually carry the load.
Four questions worth answering honestly
If one key person is out for a week, does delivery still hold?
When did you last go from idea to shipped result in under six weeks?
How much of what your systems were bought to do is still done by hand?
If one of these made you hesitate, that is usually where the work starts.
Two ways to work together
Operating partner
Inside the business next to the CEO, on execution, processes, systems and AI adoption. As a focused diagnostic and plan, a build of processes or AI adoption, or as fractional COO or Chief of Staff.
Board member / Chair
A board seat with operating experience behind it: execution, finance and systems, and helping the board govern AI rather than just ask about it.
Ask Holme
Ex-BCG, ex-COO, with 30m+ EUR of P&L and 200m+ EUR of balance sheet behind me. I have sat in the seat where the plan meets the Monday morning, and I work from there.
Reify is me. When the work needs more hands than one person, I draw on Numa, a collective network of ex-MBB consultants. You get one accountable lead and the right people around the problem, without a firm’s pyramid.
A short conversation first.
Thirty minutes, no deck and no pitch. An honest read on what is actually in the way, and whether I am the right person to help move it.
