SERVICES
As a portfolio entrepreneur, your challenges aren’t just operational – they’re dimensional.
You’re spinning multiple plates across different businesses, while also chasing personal goals and freedom. That’s why my services are designed not just for “the business,” but for you – the person at the centre of the whole portfolio.
Whether you need Precision Guidance to create a specific commercial shift in one business, a Think Partner to help you step into the visionary role only you can occupy, or an Advisory Office to finally bring strategic support across your life and ventures, I work with you to clarify your vision, unlock your team’s potential, and create breathing space to enjoy what you’ve built.
None of these are ‘off-the-shelf’. They’re tailored, contextual, and designed with your dream life in mind – whatever type of portfolio you want to build, whatever role you want to play in your portfolio, and no matter how you define “Your Como”.
Precision Guidance
For a specific shift in one of your portfolio companies
Not every business in your portfolio needs your full attention – but some need a targeted intervention to get back on track or unlock the next stage of performance. That’s where Precision Guidance comes in.
This service is designed for portfolio entrepreneurs who are ready to shift one specific metric – typically Revenue, Profit, Culture or Valuation – in one particular business.
Are you preparing for a sale, stabilising operations, or trying to get a promising but chaotic venture under control? With your direction, and incorporating your CEO or leadership team, I work with surgical precision to sustainably change what is needed and achieve results.
The process includes a Diagnostic and Discovery phase to understand the true levers of change, followed by one or more internal strategy projects and/or ongoing CEO coaching to embed the shifts. It’s hands-on, results-focused, and entirely bespoke.
Outcome
Clear strategy, aligned execution, and measurable uplift in the chosen performance area
without requiring you to become the default operator.
Think Partner
For when nobody else sees the whole picture like you do
You are the common thread across multiple businesses: but who is helping you make sense of the whole? Most advisors only see one slice of your world. Think Partner is different.
This service is for portfolio entrepreneurs feeling stretched, misaligned, or simply isolated. Together, we’ll explore the fun you want to be having – personally and professionally – and address the capability, capacity, and mindset challenges holding you back.
I’ve spent 20 years, and worked in more than 400 businesses, to ensure I understand how to implement change in all areas of a business and prioritise based on how those areas connect. You don’t have the time to hire multiple ‘specialists’ … just for them to disagree with each other. You need one person who understands how it all fits together, even across industry, lifecycles, and time zones – and that one person is me.
When you start the ‘Think Partner’ process we will triage the most urgent needs and the most lucrative quick wins in your portfolio. And then we will leverage that success to uncover gaps in your Visionary and Leadership toolkit, using the Como Contextual Toolkit to help you operate strategically across your portfolio, without defaulting to firefighting.
This isn’t therapy, but it is deep. It’s not operations, but it creates results. And with time built in to work through your leadership teams, the impact is both systemic and sustainable.
Outcome
Clarity, confidence, and alignment across your portfolio
allowing you to always make the right decision at the right time.
Advisory Office
For the portfolio entrepreneur who deserves to be taken care of
You don’t have a full-blown Family Office (yet?). But you’re living a complex, high-leverage life that needs more than just a good PA or CFO. The Advisory Office is your bespoke support structure, designed to bring order, insight, and peace of mind across business and life.
This service is ideal for portfolio entrepreneurs who are building real wealth, juggling multiple ventures, and still trying to find time for life admin and family dreams. From co-ordinating wills and insurance to travel planning, from mapping personal portfolio cash flow to attending key meetings as your trusted consiglieri – my team and I act as your strategic second brain.
We help you shape your version of “Como”: that dream lifestyle you’re working so hard for, but rarely have the space to plan. This is white-glove, high-trust, deeply personal support.
HOW TO GET STARTED
I only work with a small number of clients each year – this has to be the right fit for both of us, for both of us to commit.
As such, I don’t have a gimmicky “free coaching session” or “15 minute call”. We can sit down over lunch (if our travels overlap) or break bread virtually to talk more.
If you want to learn more, then reach out. You can click this link to book a video call directly, or just call (WhatsApp +61 427 151 181) or email (jacob@jacobaldridge.com) to start the conversation.
