Mission-Critical Mindset
I work with leaders who recognize the make-or-break nature of key moments and know that mastering these moments requires the dedicated support of an outside expert. They often have a great staff doing great work; they need a mission specialist to master mission-critical moments.
Beyond skills and experience, the leaders I work with seek a dedicated advisor who brings focus, urgency, and decisiveness balanced with judgment, candor, and rigorous honesty. High-stakes and often high stress, this job is not for everyone, but it's the work I love and do best.
Mission-Critical?
High-Stakes?
No Fail?
I'm in.
Founder
Robert Durand
Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy, Retired*
​
In parallel military and civilian careers spanning more than three decades, I have advised CEOs, senior military officers, emergency response officials, corporate executives, ambassadors, and operational leaders at all levels.
​
I have operated in high-stakes media environments supporting strategic military operations and have led corporate communications at five venture-funded high-technology companies, from early-stage startups to private equity turnarounds.
​​​​​
How I work
I quickly connect with senior leaders to understand complex situations and articulate their ideas into clear, concise words. I thrive on small budgets, tight deadlines, and high stakes; I know how to identify the critical path, make the most of limited resources, focus efforts, and execute relentlessly to create maximum impact.
