Who we work with
Operating Advisory
Engagements are selective and relationship-driven.
Operating organizations — small to mid-sized businesses, nonprofits, and venture-backed companies where growth has outpaced structure and leadership teams need clearer systems for how the business runs.
Investors & venture funds — supporting portfolio companies with operating guidance, financial discipline, and leadership clarity during periods of growth or transition.
Forward-thinking financial institutions & fintechs — navigating modernization, regulatory complexity, and the gap between strategy and day-to-day execution.
CRD works with clients across U.S. and international markets.
Venture & Portfolio Advisory
Nicole works with venture funds and select portfolio companies when execution risk starts to surface — often during periods of rapid growth or transition.
She brings an operator’s perspective, helping teams sharpen decision-making, strengthen operating discipline, and build the systems needed to scale.
Engagements may include advisory, operating partner roles, or board participation depending on the situation.
CRD does not act as a broker or placement agent.
