Board and ownership alignment
Post-M&A leadership realignment
When a planned or unplanned CEO change needs to be handled without destabilising the business.
When shareholders, board members or owners need clarity before committing to a leadership decision.
When integration exposes unclear roles, competing priorities or leadership gaps.
