our services and expertise
Field Operations
We help our clients build and mature their field operations to meet enterprise expectations. We've built field CISO teams, customer success teams, deployment and support organizations, consulting and advisory teams. We believe these teams are valuable extensions of the product management team. Integration between these field teams and product management is a valuable execution accelerator and helps reinforce and refine GTM strategy.
Enterprise Readiness
Enterprises expect suppliers to meet implementation, support and 3rd party risk management standards. We work with clients to establish repeatable processes for meeting these expectations and responding to enterprise questionnaires. We believe this is an important role for your field organizations. Execution and communication to the market is key to distinguish yourself in a crowded marketplace.
Risk Management
Risk Management
As the enterprise grows, so grows requirements around cyber security, data protection, product security and privacy. A robust Product security strategy, well articulated to the market, can contribute to your competitive moat. And there are few events that will devastate a startup more completely than a cyber or product security event. We've built cyber defense programs, product security programs, data governance and privacy programs for clients of all sizes and maturity cycles.
Transformation
Mergers and Acquisitions
Risk Management
Transformation has become an overplayed buzzword, yet most organizations still suffer through them. Transformation is more than a strategy with an implementation plan. We work with you to combine culture, change management, communication, talent management and technical strategy.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Mergers and Acquisitions
Mergers and Acquisitions
We have extensive experience with mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs and carve-outs. We've participated in more than 30 transactions, both buy-side and sell-side. We can assist with market and target evaluation, exit preparation, due diligence, TSA architecture, TSA pricing and negotiation (provider and consumer side), implementation work streams, and PMO.
Executive Advisory
Mergers and Acquisitions
Mergers and Acquisitions
We have helped technology and risk management executives build, transform, update, and tweak their programs. For example, we recently helped a CISO update their reports to the board based on changing board make-up and maturity. We worked for the CISO to update metrics and how the effectiveness of the organization was measured, define new narratives and templates, and help the CISO drive a much more effective conversation with the Board and peer executives.

Companies who are growing and don't quite have the scale for a full time COO, CAO, CIO, CISO, CTO, CDO, or CPO. Companies who are experiencing transitions between leaders. Companies who need to build out programs and hire permanent leaders, but don't have the in-house expertise. These are all use cases we have helped clients master.
Executive Mentoring

Growth is the goal, but sometimes we grow faster than we can acquire the expertise and experience ourselves. Our experts are operators and board directors who are invested in your success. Executive mentorship is meant for the high performing executive who wants another pair of eyes, third party validation, a place to vent, and a shoulder to lean on for support.
