Corporate Board Advisory Services

 

CORPORATE BOARD ADVISORY SERVICES

Corporate directors, especially outside directors, have more oversight responsibility and fiduciary duty today than ever before in American business history.

Directors have a real need for solid, reliable, straightforward advice - especially when the motivations of boards, line executives, shareholders, and stakeholders conflict in a stressful environment of decision making in conditions of uncertainty.

 

Boards need competent advice concerning organization and operations. The most effective corporate oversight comes from high performing and ethically centered boards. Monticello Capital assists in creating this culture.

  • Board foundation and restructuring
  • Conflict resolution
  • Financial decision-making pathways

Case Summary

The client, a regional firm in a highly specialized technology sector, was concluding a phenomenal development stage. The company was in the midst of several simultaneous transitions. The original partnership had created a board that was much larger than necessary and its size was impeding its ability to make timely decisions. The board, although quite successful, was particularly young and inexperienced. New financing was required to fund the company’s explosive growth. Monticello Capital advised the complete restructuring of the board and management. From the investment bank’s own network, the client was introduced to two very experienced corporate directors with national reputations - one was a CEO in the client’s industry who had taken his own company public; the other was the founder and CEO of a private firm in the client’s industry who had just sold his company to a multinational corporation. A significant new debt financing, also advised by Monticello Capital, resulted.
