Chart your course with purpose and precision.

Every member of our team has at least 10 years’ experience in C-suite or leadership roles at top law firms and investment banks.  We are specialists in Finance, Legal & Compliance, People & Culture, and Strategic Operations.  Our sector backgrounds span tech, e-commerce, fashion, beauty, CPG, sports, and media and entertainment. 

We support companies at every stage of maturity — private, public, startup, growth, reset, and turnaround — with a special aptitude for advising founder-led and early- to mid-stage businesses.

Every engagement begins with a discovery process, during which we clarify your objectives, challenges, risks, and opportunities.  We then integrate with your team and collaborate closely throughout every planning, execution, and maintenance step of our partnership.  

Prodigious sets itself apart with our approach to your success: no task is too big or too small.  Whether for three months or three years, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your company to solve pressing problems, evade challenges on the horizon, run a smart business — and build value for you and your stakeholders.

Why Choose Prodigious?

Our model affords every benefit of executive-level leadership (expertise, networks, and resources) without the expense (annualized salary, bonus, and overhead) of a full-time hire.

Clients engage one or more executives from our deep talent bench on bespoke terms suited to their financial profile and operational needs. 

We’re nimble and adapt to the changing needs of our clients.  Our success isn’t reliant on hours billed or territory protected — we create and update our teams depending on the issues you face in your business at any given time.

Advancing Equity in the C-Suite.

We are a woman-owned business and many of our advisors are women, increasing representation in the highest ranks of some of the world’s most innovative companies.  We are also proud to provide pro bono hours to early-stage women and BIPOC founders.
