“There is a moment when a pursuit evolves from its aspirational beginnings into an actionable plan; when the unknowns become knowns and the pieces begin moving into place to form the whole. That’s the moment that inspires me to work intensely for my clients.“

When can a Fractional Strategist or Project Manager help your firm?
Successful, growing businesses rely on efficiency and the proper management of resources. From time to time, however, there are “events” or growth periods that require special attention and unique competencies. On occasion, leadership can’t justify hiring a full-time person with the requisite skills to collaborate with leadership, create traction, gain momentum, and successfully execute on the initiative.
A Cuneo partnership is ideal for growing businesses seeking a strategic partner to help form the whole.
The meaning behind Cuneo
Italian in origin, Cuneo means wedge, which represents the missing element I bring to the leadership table and my ability to serve as a fractional strategist and project manager.
Business Expansion
Emerging and established firms benefit from clearly defined, strategic direction and a shared vision for their businesses. Working closely with firm leaders, I bring core competencies including geographic expansion in new markets, developing go-to-market plans for new services, site selection oversight, and project development.
Mergers & Acquisitions
A delicate and dynamic process, there is tremendous value to engaging a partner with experience during each phase. From early investigation and research to the letter of intent to due diligence to closing and integration, I am an asset to the team responsible for putting the elements in place.
Strategic Engagement
Communities, organizations, and charities benefit when companies empower their people to get involved. Working with firm leaders, I play an integral role in strategically establishing goals and expectations to maximize contributions of time and money.
Event Programming
Hosting professional conferences, celebrating meaningful company anniversaries, and holding tournaments on the greens are ideal for building business and company culture. They also require strategic program development and execution that many companies aren’t resourced to accomplish.
