• As a business becomes more complex, organizations engage in a huge range of activities likely to affect their financial performance and shareholder value. Engaging an independent seasoned and experienced C-Suite executive provides an extra set of eyes and ears to help you see around corners to anticipate and mitigate potential challenges before they arise. It also allows you to identify opportunities that can promote business growth and resolve problems before they become unmanageable, or at worst, unfixable.

​​

• Whether my Canadian or US based clients are looking for an immediate placement due to an unexpected departure and/or considering increasing their board and C-Level management bench strength at the financial (CFO) or operational (CEO, COO) levels on a part time, interim or permanent basis, I along with my network of professional associates when and if required, are available on "tap" to fill that gap.

​​

• If the business is not quite ready to hire a full time strategic CFO or cannot afford the expense, Ralph can be "rented" as a fractional CFO to fill that role and provide the high level financial strategies to ensure gaps and blind spots are addressed effectively.  See my Blog Post - When to Bring in and Engage a Chief Financial Officer

​​

• Leveraging his experience and knowledge gained through countless opportunities that helped shaped his path to success,  in addition to filling a C-Level position, Ralph is open to filling a board of director seat as an Independent director and where appropriate chairing such committees as the audit and finance and corporate governance committees.

​​

• Advisory boards are one of the best-kept secrets of successful entrepreneurs. They can help significantly boost performance, revenue and productivity. Most importantly, an advisory board provides you with expert advice, complementary expertise and support in decision‑making without the burden of vested interests or hidden agendas.

​​

• Advisory boards can provide many benefits, including:

  • Expert knowledge specific to the needs of your business

  • A sounding board to help validate your strategies

  • An outside perspective to help identify gaps and opportunities

  • A cost-effective source of ideas and expertise

  • Honest advice free of vested interests

​​

• C-Suite can guide you through the implementation of an effective advisory board, including identifying your needs, assisting in selecting the right individuals and getting the group underway.

​​

• As your sounding board on a number of strategic and day to day matters, in addition to providing strategic advice and oftentimes strong quantitative and qualitative execution capabilities, C-Suite/Ralph is available to help you solve problems keeping you up at night!
