Why this practice
I wanted to choose the work.
My own practice lets me choose the owners I work with and how to structure an assignment. I can consider a business that doesn’t fit another firm’s economics, or work that doesn’t end in a sale.
I still choose carefully. I need to see a way to help, and we need to be able to work together.
What draws me to it
I want to know how it works. And who makes it work.
Finding an opportunity, understanding a business, and starting a conversation are parts of the job I want to do myself.
So are the conversations that come later: why an owner won’t hand something over, what a key employee is worried about, or what someone wants from the next stage of their life.
Those answers matter to the business. I like getting to them.
Who I work with
Owners with something at stake.
Healthcare is where much of my experience comes from. I also consider assignments in other industries when my experience fits the work.
You don’t need a perfectly packaged business to have that conversation.
