Advisory at Board and Ownership Level
Leadership and governance challenges are rarely generic. They require judgment, experience and an understanding of context.
Through my work, I advise boards, chairs and active owners on governance, succession and leadership alignment in situations of growth, transition and increased scrutiny.

Board and Executive Appointments – Experience and Perspective
Board and Executive Appointments – Experience and Perspective
Throughout my career, a significant part of my work has focused on board and senior executive appointments at the highest level. This experience has shaped my understanding of what differentiates leadership that merely performs from leadership that creates lasting value.
My background includes advising on the appointment of board chairs, non-executive directors and senior executives in complex ownership environments, where judgment, cultural fit and governance maturity are critical.
Today this work has provided deep insight into:
Board chair and non-executive director appointments aligned with strategy and ownership expectations
Senior executive appointments where culture, pace and mandate are decisive
Rigorous, discreet decision-making processes informed by boardroom dynamics
Today, this experience informs my board-level advisory work through Lagercrantz & Lombardi Advisers.
“Why doesn’t she succeed, if she is so successful? ”
Strategic Advisory at Board and Ownership Level
Advising owners, boards and senior leaders has never been about providing generic solutions. It is about understanding context, power dynamics and timing – and helping decision-makers navigate complexity with clarity.
My advisory work has focused on situations of transition: growth phases, ownership change, leadership succession and increased scrutiny. Across these contexts, governance, strategy and culture are inseparable.
Areas of experience include:
Advising owners and boards during transformation, growth and succession
Governance and role clarity between board, chair, CEO and shareholders
Supporting high-stakes decisions where trust, alignment and long-term perspective are essential
This experience now forms the foundation of my current advisory work as a Partner at Lagercrantz & Lombardi Advisers.
“Why can’t he lead if he is such a good leader?”
“If she is such a heavy hitter, why can’t she hit?”
Leadership and Board Assessments – Insight and Judgment
Effective governance and leadership decisions depend on more than résumés or past results. Over the years, my work has involved extensive assessment of senior leaders and boards, providing a deep understanding of readiness, motivation and strategic alignment.
This assessment experience has supported boards and owners in making informed decisions around succession, leadership transitions and governance effectiveness. leadership drives strategy.
My background includes:
Assessment of senior leaders and board members in relation to strategy, culture and mandate
Succession-related evaluations at board and executive level
Evidence-based judgment informed by thousands of executive and board assessments
Today, this assessment perspective underpins my advisory work on board effectiveness and leadership alignment.
Leadership decisions matter. Governance makes the difference.
