Senior Advisor | Crisis-Tested. Trusted at the Top.

I advised the Prime Minister during a global financial crisis. Now I advise leaders like you.

I served as an advisor to the Prime Minister of Canada during the 2008 financial crisis. As Chief of Staff at the Senate of Canada during the 2020 pandemic. I've been featured in Forbes, Newsweek, the National Post, the Globe and Mail, and media globally. I now advise a select number of leaders who want a senior mind in their corner when the stakes are high.

I work with successful, experienced leaders — primarily in the United States — who value directness, credibility, and results over credentials alone. If that sounds like you, let's talk.

How can I help?
01

SPARK Advisory

A trusted strategic relationship for leaders carrying decisions too heavy for their inner circle. Not consulting. A partnership built on trust earned under real pressure.

Advisory Retainer → 02

The Bridge

Government doesn't speak business. Business doesn't speak government. I've operated at the highest levels of both. I translate between worlds that desperately need one.

Stakeholder Navigation → 03

Strategic Advisory

Executive advisory, organizational strategy, and high-ticket sales architecture. For leaders who need a strategic partner, not another consultant.

Advisory & Consulting →

Who This Is For

I work with leaders who carry the weight of their decisions alone.

Not everyone is the right fit — and that's by design. My work is highest-impact for a specific kind of leader in a specific kind of moment.

If you're looking for a consultant, a coach, or someone to tell you what you want to hear — I'm not your person.
You've built something significant and the decisions you're making now will determine whether it lasts
You're an entrepreneur or business leader who needs a senior mind in their corner — not another report on a shelf
You're facing a high-stakes inflection point — growth, transition, succession — and your inner circle can't see what you see
You value directness, confidentiality, and an advisor who has been tested under real pressure at the highest levels
Let's See If There's a Fit

Discretion

My clients expect confidentiality. I deliver it.

About

Tested under real pressure. Trusted at the highest levels.

I served in the Prime Minister's Office during the 2008 global financial crisis. I served as Chief of Staff at the Senate of Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. I've been published in Forbes and Newsweek on leadership, influence, and decision-making under pressure.

That experience isn't theory — it's pattern recognition earned in rooms where the wrong decision costs careers, companies, and public trust. Today, I bring that depth to a select group of self-made entrepreneurs, business owners, and high-net-worth individuals.

Through IBPROM Corp., I provide confidential, direct-access counsel to leaders who have built something significant. My clients don't need more advice — they need someone who has operated at the highest levels and can think alongside them when it matters most.

How I Work

One model. One outcome: clarity when the stakes are high.

01
Senior Advisory

Confidential, Direct-Access Counsel

The highest stakes demand the clearest judgment — and judgment can't be outsourced to a committee, a report, or an algorithm. When you retain me, you get a senior advisor who has been in the room when the consequences were national — in the Prime Minister's Office during a financial crisis and at the Senate of Canada during a pandemic. No deliverables. No forced cadence. Confidential, one-on-one sessions when you need them, with someone who understands the weight of what you carry.

For: Self-made entrepreneurs who've outgrown their inner circle • Business leaders carrying decisions that affect significant capital, teams, or legacy • High-net-worth individuals who value directness, confidentiality, and results
02
Intelligence & Positioning

Strategic Advantage

Every high-value decision plays out in a context most people can't see. I've spent my career at the intersection of business and government — reading political, economic, and regulatory signals before they become headlines. My clients use that intelligence to position ahead of the market and make better decisions faster.

For: Leaders navigating regulatory complexity • Entrepreneurs expanding into new markets or jurisdictions • Business owners who need to understand what's coming before it arrives
03
High-Stakes Moments

Transition & Growth Partnership

Some moments don't tolerate mistakes: a succession, a strategic pivot, a partner conflict, a critical hire. These aren't process problems — they're judgment calls. I partner with leaders through these moments to help them see clearly, decide with conviction, and move with confidence.

For: Leaders navigating succession or ownership transitions • Founders at a strategic crossroads • Business owners facing decisions that will define the next decade

Framework

The SPARK Framework

Every engagement follows a five-stage process built on deep experience managing complex transitions. Clear. Tested. Focused on results.

Leveraging trust, influence, and strategic communication as core business assets.
