Private governance is different
Private boards operate closer to ownership, founders, capital and execution. The governance model must fit that reality.
LB Strategy
Boardroom Judgement for Companies Scaling Through Complexity
Independent chairmanship and governance counsel at the intersection of MedTech, AI, pharma and European growth capital.
A governance-intelligence platform for companies, boards, founders and investors scaling through complexity.
Boards need better questions
Board effectiveness is not more information. It is sharper judgement, clearer cadence and better decisions.
AI changes oversight
Directors need practical ways to interrogate AI risk, accountability, data, model governance and strategic opportunity.
MedTech scales through complexity
Healthcare innovation requires board judgement across evidence, regulation, reimbursement, adoption and commercial scale.
Where the work sits
Domains where governance meets complexity
LB Strategy concentrates where technical depth, regulation and capital collide — the sectors where board judgement is hardest and matters most.
MedTech
Healthcare innovation
Evidence, regulation, reimbursement and adoption, weighed at board level.
Pharma & life sciences
Discovery to scale
Governing long horizons, trial risk and the economics of innovation.
AI in the boardroom
Oversight of intelligence
Model risk, accountability and data governance as board responsibilities.
European growth capital
Scaling with capital
Founder–investor alignment and governance through capital transitions.
Advisory
Governance counsel for private growth
LB Strategy supports boards, chairs, founders and investors in moments where governance, strategy and judgement meet: scaling, capital transitions, chair-CEO alignment, board effectiveness, AI oversight and MedTech growth.
Governance matters most when complexity rises faster than the board's operating rhythm. The work is practical, discreet and designed to improve decision quality rather than create more theatre around process.

AI in the boardroom
Judgement is the scarce resource
As AI compresses the cost of analysis, the board's edge shifts to judgement: what to ask, what to trust, and where accountability sits. Oversight of intelligent systems is becoming a core governance discipline, not a technical footnote.
