Executive Compensation & Transitions

Private consulting for when the stakes are reputational, financial, and political.

We provide discreet, decision-centered support for executives navigating high-stakes exits, transitions, and compensation negotiations.Whether you’re stepping out, stepping up, or standing still under pressure, we help you move with clarity and control.

What We Help With

You’re negotiating your exit — or preparing to step into a new role. 
The numbers matter. But so do perception, trust, and long-term consequences.

We help when:

  • You’re preparing to exit quietly but want to preserve equity or unvested comp

  • A promotion or role change is triggering tension, misalignment, or silence

  • The board or C-suite has signaled change — but you’re not sure what’s next

  • You’re entering a negotiation with HR or legal and want to be ready

  • You need to protect your reputation and relationships while protecting yourself

  • Your advisory team is smart, but not fully coordinated

We’re not lawyers. We’re not career coaches. 
We help you prepare for the conversations that shape what happens next.

What Makes Our Process Different

Executive transitions happen in a fog — especially when money, equity, or politics are on the table. 
Most people walk in unclear, emotional, or underprepared.

We do something different. 
We help you think through what you want, what’s on the table, and what happens if things change.

You get:

  • A structured process to plan conversations and surface blind spots

  • Script and tone prep for delicate interactions with HR, board members, or GCs

  • A negotiation checklist that clarifies what to ask, what to confirm, and what to track

  • A clean communication strategy that protects reputation while preserving leverage

  • Behind-the-scenes guidance with no pressure to decide before you’re ready

You don’t need more opinions. 
You need a clear plan for how to handle what’s next.

Who This Is For

This is not for résumé building or career coaching. 
It’s for people who want discretion, structure, and strategy when everything feels high-stakes — and personal.
