High-Stakes Advisory
Extended strategic support for a high-stakes decision that unfolds over time.
If you are facing a high-stakes decision with real financial, reputational, or career consequences, and the situation is evolving rather than static, High-Stakes Advisory provides extended strategic counsel as things unfold.
This is for moments where delaying has a real cost, multiple moves need to be sequenced, and you want an experienced advisor available as new information emerges.
What You Walk Away With


People book High-Stakes Advisory because they need sustained strategic judgment as a high-stakes situation evolves.
The outcome is not a one-off recommendation. It is an ongoing strategic view of what this decision is actually about, how the context is shifting, and how to respond as new information emerges.
You receive a clear strategic direction, updates as circumstances change, and guidance on how to sequence decisions, conversations, and negotiations while limiting downside.
This is not exploration. It is judgment, applied over time.
Time commitment (you): Varies based on your needs over 6 weeks
When Is This The Right Tool?
✓ Choose this if you:
Are navigating a major transition (merger, exit, significant change)
Face a decision with CHF 50K+ financial implications
Need ongoing strategic counsel as situation evolves
Want a trusted advisor available over a defined 6-week period
This is not a good fit if:
You have one clearly defined decision that can be resolved with a single written recommendation

• Final 30-minute session (week 6) to finalize approach
• Conversation scripts, frameworks, and action plans
Perfect for:
Navigating complex mergers or restructures
Exit package negotiations
Multi-faceted career transitions
Situations that unfold over time and need ongoing counsel
What Makes This Different?
This is not coaching, and it is not therapy. It is also not generic AI advice or facilitated reflection.
What I provide is judgment, grounded in having seen how these decisions actually play out at senior levels, repeatedly. That perspective matters when the decision in front of you is politically loaded, time-sensitive, or carries real downside if you misread it.
The value is not in more reflection. It is in seeing what you cannot see from inside your own situation, and making the call accordingly.
Why this is an investment, not a cost:
For most senior executives, a single decision at this level, negotiating a title, a bonus, a severance package, or choosing whether to stay or leave, is often worth tens of thousands of francs over time.
he High-Stakes Advisory engagement costs a fraction of that. If it helps you secure one additional month of severance, negotiate a higher starting salary, avoid a misstep that damages your positioning, or prevents you from committing to the wrong role, it has paid for itself many times over.
Ready to stop circling your decision?
If you are navigating a high-stakes decision with significant financial or career implications and want experienced strategic judgment available as the situation evolves, this is the right place to start.
