  • Cost Control: Executive depth without the long-term payroll commitment.
  • Alignment: Ongoing context and familiarity outperform ad-hoc consulting.
  • Accountability: Clear deliverables, performance tracking, and measurable outcomes.
  • Discretion: Strategic partnership under NDA and defined confidentiality.
