Executive Advisory

Independent senior judgement for the few go-to-market decisions that materially affect the quarter. For CEOs, CROs and UK country leaders who want an experienced sounding board while retaining ownership of the decisions.

Why Executive Advisory

Normally used after a Rendus programme, or by a leader who already has a team but needs independent challenge on decisions such as:

Which UK opportunities deserve executive attention.

How each period runs

Frame the decision

Begin the first period with a decision-focused Commercial Review, using any relevant findings from previous Rendus work. Agree the commercial questions, supporting evidence and scope. Subsequent periods update the decision agenda rather than repeat the initial review.

Challenge the evidence

Test material deals, partner choices and forecast assumptions, identify decisions being deferred or obscured, and support the sponsor in setting clear ownership and next actions.

Review and reset

Review what changed and what remains unresolved, set the commercial priorities for the period ahead, and renew or conclude the relationship explicitly rather than letting it drift.

Agreeing the engagement

An advisory period is a defined span of support. Before it starts, we agree the scope, fee and working arrangements in writing around your decision agenda.

Duration
The start and end dates, with a review before any renewal. Further periods are agreed explicitly.
Meetings
The frequency and length of sessions, who attends and what preparation is needed.
Between sessions
Whether support is included, the contact channel and the availability and response times you can expect.

Deliverables

The advisory gives you:

  • Independent recommendations on strategic deals and forecasts.
  • Decision briefs for market-entry, investment and partner choices.
  • Board and investor briefing materials.
  • Recommendations on commercial hiring and organisation: shape, seniority and sequence.
  • A written record of decisions, actions and owners after each session.
  • Continuity after a Rendus programme, with scope reset each period.

Every engagement is led personally by Nick Wallace, drawing on senior commercial leadership experience at AWS, Microsoft, Stripe and Oracle.About Nick and Rendus
