Strategic Analyst for Founders Preparing for Whatโs Next
I work as a corporate development comps analyst with Tech-enabled and Work Tech entrepreneurs who want to build more valuable, premium-positioned businesses, whether youโre planning an exit or just want the leverage to choose.
Analyst for Founders Who
Want to Stay in Control
This isnโt about chasing a sale. Itโs about building a business that commands attention, price, and respectโon your terms. I help operators think through what makes a company valuable: market signals, narrative control, clean metrics, strategic positioning.
The end result? Optionality. Whether you sell, scale, or stay steady, youโre in control.
I work with Tech-enabled and Work Tech founders who want to think ahead:
โข What is our business really worthโand why?
โข What metrics will buyers care about?
โข What can we do now to drive valuation tomorrow?
Whether you're 1 to 2 years away or 36 months out or quietly circling options, the answer isn't โwait and see.โ Itโs โplan and prepare.โ
About Charles
Iโve spent over 25 years working alongside founders of Tech-enabled and Work Tech businessesโhelping them prep for sale, benchmark performance, and drive toward clean, strategic exits. Iโm not here to be your advisor of record. Iโm here to help you move.
My approach blends operator experience with buyer psychology and corp dev fluency. Iโve sat on both sides of the table, and I know what gets flagged, what drives up price, and what tanks deals.
Most founders donโt need more content. They need sharper questions, better data, and a second brain thatโs not trying to sell them something.
Thatโs what I do.
Not a Banker.
Not a Consultant.
A Strategic Analyst.
I offer Corporate Development Analyst service to drive Profit growth and create Liquidity. Complimentary Liquidity Exit Planning, KPI Benchmarking, and Comps analyst services for leaders.

Buyers donโt value what they canโt see. Together, weโll define and surface the metrics that matterโfrom recurring revenue mix to margin structure to retention logic.
This is about building the foundation for a credible multipleโnot just a good story. -
You donโt need a banker to tell you youโre not ready. You need someone who knows what readiness actually looks like. Weโll work through people, process, positioning, and visibility to eliminate friction, clean up risk signals, and align your ops with premium exit expectations.

I step into the business with youโnot above it. From buyer mapping to materials to reverse diligence, I help founders think like buyers and act like sellers. This is the corporate development work no one teaches you to doโbut buyers expect you to have done.
