Who Cleans Up After a Failed Launch or a Sudden Resignation?

I do. Someone has to walk in, see what broke and put it back together, and that someone should not have to be you on top of everything else.

After a failed launch

  1. Stop the bleeding. Pause the spend and anything still going out to the public.
  2. Map the damage: money, customers, partners, the team's morale and your reputation.
  3. Talk to the people involved, one at a time. People say things in private that they would never say in a post-mortem meeting.
  4. Lay out your options, whether that is fixing it, relaunching or letting it go. You choose.
  5. Carry out your choice and tell the people who need to know.

After a sudden resignation

  1. Capture what only they knew: accounts, passwords, deals in progress, key contacts.
  2. Secure access to everything.
  3. Reach their key clients and partners before the rumours do.
  4. Cover the gap and steady the team.
  5. Find out why they really left.
  6. Brief whoever comes next.

What done looks like

That is your call. For some people it means back to normal, for others better than before. We agree on it before I start.

What I do not take on

Legal disputes, employment law or handling the press. If someone is threatening to sue, you need a lawyer first, and I will tell you so.

Things people ask

How soon can you start?

We talk, I send you a one-page scope within 48 hours, and once you agree it, I get going.

Is this confidential?

From the very first message. I am happy to sign an NDA before you tell me anything.
