Professional Profile
Call Me When
A client is two or three years from a sale and the business is better than its website. Or a deal just closed and the story needs pulling together. I’ll show you how a buyer reads them, then fix what’s costing them.

Business Focus
I help owners and their advisors see how a buyer will read the business, then fix what’s costing it. That’s the story, the brand, the website and the sales materials. Most of my work starts 2 or 3 years before a sale, or right after an acquisition.
Professional Certification
Not certified in transition planning. 20+ years in brand strategy and creative direction, 147 industry awards, DLB Creative since 2010.
Transition Planning Certification or Methodology
Enid, my brand diagnostic. It reads what’s already public about a business the way a buyer would, and shows where trust is leaking. I use it to start every engagement. Then the owner and I decide together what to fix first, and what can wait.

Client Results
Choice Health Centre grew from one clinic to a group, drew a bidding war and sold for 30% over valuation. Every owner leaves with a clear read on what’s costing them trust and a short list of what to fix first.

Why I'm a Member of XPX
Owners spend years getting the numbers and the legal work ready. How the business reads to a buyer usually gets left to the last month. I’m here to work on that piece, alongside the advisors already in the room.
