Services
What I do — and why it works
Speaking
Problem: Generic content at corporate events does not change decisions.
Solution: Tailored keynotes on the economy, governance, energy and public policy — real depth, executive language.
Your audience leaves with clarity, not just inspiration.
Advisory
Problem: Regulated environments demand more than good lawyers.
Solution: Regulatory strategy, government affairs and corporate governance built into your business.
Less risk, sharper positioning, better decisions.
Board Service
Problem: Boards without regulatory experience decide blind.
Solution: An IBGC-certified board member with hands-on experience in government, a multinational and capital markets.
Governance that protects and creates value — not just protocol.
