Docherty Advisory

Confidential Executive Advisory for Senior Leaders Navigating Transition

Executive Advisory supports senior leaders who are evaluating their next move, repositioning for the market, or navigating change following growth, restructuring, or acquisition.

At senior levels, outcomes are driven by positioning, not documentation.

When This Engagement Is Relevant

  • You are leaving or have recently left a senior role
  • Your responsibilities have evolved beyond your current title
  • You have operated across multiple functions and need a clear positioning strategy
  • You are coming out of a growth, private equity, or transition environment

At this level, the challenge is not simply presenting experience. It is determining how that experience translates into a clear, credible market position.

Without that clarity, even strong profiles are often misaligned with opportunity, resulting in lower-level roles or missed outcomes.

Who This Is For

  • Directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders
  • Individuals coming out of growth, private equity, or transition environments
  • Leaders managing complex or non-linear career paths

Engagements are limited to ensure direct delivery.

What the Engagement Focuses On

Positioning Strategy

Defining the most credible executive lane based on your experience, strengths, and market demand.

Market Alignment

Identifying realistic target roles, companies, and geographies to ensure effective and focused engagement.

Execution Support

Development of supporting materials, interview preparation, and guidance through the transition process.

Typical Outcomes

  • Clear executive positioning aligned to the right level
  • Stronger alignment with target roles and organizations
  • Improved interview performance and narrative clarity
  • Access to higher-quality opportunities and compensation ranges

The objective is not simply to “go to market,” but to ensure you are competing in the right category, at the right level, with a narrative that reflects your actual experience.

Position
