ABOUT

The right minds in the room for just the right time.

A company’s executive leadership is its team of experts. They define and execute the vision of the company, each with a single, focused area of expertise: Executive direction, Technology, Finance, Marketing, Product, People, and so on. And it makes sense to have certain offices filled by dedicated in-house hires, available all-hours.

But in many areas, like Product, Marketing, Route-to-Market, and Sales, strategic effort is much more focused than ongoing execution. It’s about being in the right place at the right time with the needed experience and ideas, and then about the ability to create and drive teams.

This is ronin.


Industries

where do ronin come from?

why what how when

While there are strong tech backgrounds within ronin for all types of world-changing hardware and software, we’ve also helped companies in cloud services (XaaS), licensable inventions and techniques, consumer goods and services, education and learning, non-profits, fitness brands, and more.

The best way to find out if ronin can help is to ask.

As for size and stage, it might work to think about company growth as having two major types. Let’s call the first scaling. Scaling turns up the volume on known or estimable capabilities. It’s neither simple nor straightforward, but this is precisely the activity at which your in-house officers should excel.

When ronin has the most impact is the other kind of growth: expansion. This is when you're reaching into something completely new. A product, line, process, or market that is outside your typical comfort zone.

ronin can turn these growth moments exponential.
