What Justin's clients are saying about his work:
Trusted Advisor: "I had been a partner for a year, my firm really liked me, but I was nowhere on deal origination. A year had passed, and I was still doing VP/Principal work. I had no plan for how I was going to change this dynamic. What I needed was a secret mentor who could help me reorient my time and thinking. With laser-like focus, he quickly showed me the root of my inability to create a plan. Then we created a plan and as I started to execute, I stopped doing the junior stuff, and found myself at the center of banker conversations, leading management presentations, and convincing my IC as to the merits of deals." - New Partner, Private Equity Firm
Dealing with Conflict: "I had just received another shot across the bow from my senior partner – alleging that while I was a productive deal partner, he didn't like my 'communication style' – a seemingly veiled threat to change or else he'd fire me. I was pretty freaked out – we had never had the most harmonious bond, but we got the work done. JD helped me calm tensions with him, have the drama stop wasting my time and energy, and we refocused my time on maximizing personal enterprise value. I successfully negotiated meaningful step-ups in firm economics to align with my contributions, and reduced the friction with IC in making new investments through more strategic communication." - Partner, Private Equity Firm
