When the chair-CEO relationship needs clearer operating rules
Clarifying cadence, decision rights, escalation, challenge and support so the relationship sharpens execution rather than adding friction.
Advisory
Independent board and advisory counsel for companies scaling through complexity.
LB Strategy works where governance becomes strategic: board design, chair-CEO alignment, private-company governance maturity, investor-founder dynamics, AI oversight and MedTech scale.
Where useful
Situations where governance and strategy meet
When informal founder governance stops scaling
Moving private and growth companies from instinctive oversight to board structures that improve decisions without slowing the company down.
When the board isn't improving decisions
Sharpening agenda design, board packs, committee rhythm, information quality and follow-through so meetings produce judgement, not theatre.
When investors, founders and management fall out of alignment
Rebuilding alignment around value creation, risk, capital and strategic choices — and the role of independent board judgement.
When AI becomes a board accountability issue
Turning AI risk and opportunity into board-level questions on accountability, data, models, controls, ethics and resilience.
When MedTech moves from promise to scale
Supporting boards through regulation, reimbursement, evidence generation, clinical adoption, commercial execution and patient impact.
