CEO & EXECUTIVE TEAM ADVISING

Confidential, C-suite-level advising to help you navigate the intersection of strategy, operations, and risk.

Who Do You Trust With Your Toughest Challenges?

As a CEO, you are the final point of decision-making for every function of the business. Your leadership team—while brilliant—has its own departmental priorities. Your board provides governance but isn't in the trenches with you.

You are left to single-handedly connect the dots between ambitious growth targets, complex operational realities, shifting legal landscapes, and critical compliance demands.

Where do you turn to:

  • Pressure-test a half-formed idea without alarming your team?

  • Get an unbiased opinion on a high-stakes decision?

  • Confidently navigate a challenge that is equal parts legal risk and business opportunity?

A Confidential Advisor for Your Inner Circle

We serve as a confidential, on-demand strategic partner to CEOs and their executive teams. Our role is not to replace your existing leaders, but to augment your capacity as a chief executive. We provide the objective, 360-degree perspective you need to make critical decisions with confidence. Whether acting as a private sounding board for you or a facilitator for your entire team, we help you see the connections, challenge your assumptions, and build a more resilient, effective organization.

How We Can Partner

Montana Strategic Consulting provides a flexible, tailored approach to meet your executive-level needs.

  • Strategic Thought Partnership: We act as your sparring partner on complex issues. We'll analyze "what-if" scenarios, map out competitive threats, and help you refine your strategic vision before you present it to your board or your company.

  • Integrated Problem-Solving: Your biggest challenges are never one-dimensional. We break down the silos between strategy, legal, compliance, and risk, helping you build a single, cohesive plan that is both ambitious and defensible.

  • Confidential Sounding Board: Leverage a secure, private channel to discuss your most sensitive challenges—from team dynamics and performance issues to crisis management and board relations.

  • Executive & CEO Coaching: Using advanced strategic frameworks from the Yale School of Management, we work 1-on-1 to sharpen your executive toolkit. We'll deep-dive into operational strategy and organizational design to enhance your leadership and help you more effectively drive the business.

  • Executive Team Facilitation: We can guide your C-suite through high-stakes strategic planning sessions, ensuring your team is aligned, focused, and committed to a clear, actionable set of goals.

The Power and Perspective of an MBA and General Counsel in One

To advise a CEO, you must be able to see the entire board. Most advisors have critical blind spots.

Typical business consultants may understand strategy and operations, but they are often naive to the complex legal and compliance landmines that can destroy a good idea. Typical lawyers are trained to identify risk and say "no." They protect the company but rarely offer a pragmatic, business-savvy path to "yes."

Our founder, Blake, has lived and led in both worlds.

As a former General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, Blake has navigated the most complex legal, risk, and governance challenges. As a Yale-educated MBA, he is an expert in business strategy and high-performance organizational design.

You get a single, trusted partner who not only understands your vision but also knows how to build the legally-defensible, operationally-sound framework to make it a reality.
