INSPAND (Opens in a new tab)Three ways to be at the table
Portfolio work that complements the executive role at NEXTCIA rather than competing with it. What changes is the level of responsibility, the cadence, and who sits across the table.
A formal board seat, with fiduciary responsibility for long-term strategy.
Ongoing strategic counsel to founders and executives on specific decisions, without a formal seat.
One-on-one leadership development focused on the person deciding, not only on the decision.
