Decisions keep returning to the CEO.
Managers need clearer authority. Meetings revisit decisions, and follow-up depends on you.
Leadership + chief strategy officer advisory
Your next phase needs decisions your leaders can own.
Growth, a leadership change, or a new market puts more decisions in front of you. Kristi works with you and the people responsible for making those decisions and following through.

When this work fits
The business is asking more of you.
The team needs to work across functions.
A hiring decision, growth plan, or change affects several teams. People need a shared understanding of the decision and who owns what.
Your offers and opportunities need choices.
A founder has new offers, partnerships, or markets to consider. The business needs priorities, commercial decisions, and a workable sequence.
The work
Agree on the decisions. Work with the people who own them.
Leadership advisory
- Define decision authority, responsibilities, and priorities.
- Work on feedback, accountability, and conversations leaders have been delaying.
- Use live team work and Authentic Authority™ where they help people understand one another.
- Agree on what progress will look like in everyday work.
Chief strategy officer advisory
- Assess offers, buyer needs, partnerships, and market opportunities.
- Choose priorities and decide what gets investment, attention, or a next step.
- Connect the growth plan to leadership capacity and commercial follow-through.
- Agree on Kristi’s role, decision access, deliverables, and working rhythm.
Relevant experience
Judgment with business consequences.
$2.3 million saved through hiring decisions. Less than eight hours of work with a confidential enterprise leadership client helped the team make those decisions. The engagement grew into six-figure ongoing work.
As President of Retail Banking at Bank OZK, Kristi oversaw 102 locations and $5 billion in deposits and loans. That role required decisions affecting customers, teams, and growth in a regulated environment.
Read the leadership case →Cost of Avoidance™
Count the time and opportunities waiting on a decision.
- Leadership hours spent repeating a meeting or revisiting a decision.
- A hire, partnership, or market move delayed while ownership remains unclear.
- Rework when teams leave with different interpretations.
- Pressure on the founder and managers when everyone waits for approval.
We use your situation to define the cost and the work. The engagement can also begin with a planned opportunity or expansion.
Scope + investment

Leadership advisory, chief strategy officer advisory, sales leadership, and ongoing support are quoted individually. The proposal states the decisions we will work on, who is involved, the working rhythm, deliverables, access, duration, and fee.
Travel, team sessions, and implementation responsibilities are agreed in scope. For private work focused on your own leadership or next chapter, see Executive Recalibration™ and private advisory.
