We don't fragment into five services. It's one, done well.
Buho participates in the client's board with a monthly 1.5 to 2 hour session, preceded by deep preparation (interviews, reading, analysis). Advice is practical, grounded in having operated similar situations in real companies. Special activities are added as needed: AI awareness, cybersecurity, CEO coaching, executive alignment.
Who it's for
The typical client is the owner, director, board member or CEO — someone who carries decision weight and values expert, external, independent and committed advisory. Two profiles where Buho is especially strong:
- Mid-sized private companies whose boards need world-class technology vision for decisions on digital transformation, AI, cybersecurity and modernization.
- Growth-stage startups where founders and CEOs need a long-term entrepreneurial perspective from someone who has already built and scaled companies.
What we deliver
Board participation and continuous advice grounded in deep prior involvement with the company's real situation: leader interviews, materials review, business analysis. On that foundation, each session delivers:
- Focus on the strategic topic that most moves the needle right now.
- Actionable decisions — not summaries or reports.
- Explicit follow-up on previous decisions in subsequent sessions.
- Between-session access when something critical can't wait.
"The key is that advice is practical, grounded in having gotten into the details and operated similar real situations — not the opinion of a consultant or academic without real exposure."
How the relationship unfolds
- Initial Assessment. Before committing, we study the business and validate fit on goals, culture and expectations. Ends with a clear decision: move forward together — or not.
- First board. A session structured around a central strategic topic, with actionable decisions and measurable next steps.
- Subsequent boards. Monthly continuity, follow-up and review of prior decisions. We recommend at least three sessions to measure progress and refine strategy.
- Special activities. When the situation calls for it: AI workshops, cybersecurity awareness, CEO coaching, executive alignment sessions.
Frequently asked questions
What is Buho's advisory service?
A recurring participation in the client's board: typically a monthly 1.5 to 2 hour session, preceded by deep prior preparation (interviews, materials review, business analysis). The advice is practical, grounded in having operated similar situations — not consultant or academic opinion without real-world exposure.
Who is this service designed for?
Owners, directors, board members or CEOs of mid-sized private companies that need world-class technology vision; and founders of growth-stage startups who need a long-term entrepreneurial perspective. In every case, people who carry decision weight and value expert advisory.
What sets Buho apart from a traditional consultant?
We are not consultants — we are doers. The founder has created, scaled and sold technology companies serving clients in 70+ countries. That operational experience combines with academic rigor (MBA and PhD) to deliver strategic, independent and deeply practical perspective.
What does a typical engagement look like?
We start with an Initial Assessment where we validate mutual fit. If we move forward, the base model is one monthly board session with prior preparation. Special activities can be added: AI workshops, cybersecurity awareness sessions, CEO coaching or executive alignment.
How much does it cost and how do I engage?
Investment depends on scope and is discussed case by case. The first step is always a no-cost, no-commitment conversation to validate fit. If we decide to move forward, the Initial Assessment defines expectations, scope and terms before board participation begins.
Is there a fit?
We are selective about the engagements we take. If you think there might be a fit, the first step is a no-cost, no-commitment conversation.
