Acerca de Francisco
Boards rarely fail through lack of intelligence.
They fail through blind spots, weak challenge, and decisions made without operational signal.
I work with PLC boards, Chairs, and executive teams who want sharper thinking at the table, not more noise around it.
My background sits at the intersection of enterprise scale and real-world execution.
Twelve years inside SAP across EMEA.
Senior roles at Teradata during market disruption.
Chair and advisory positions in property, technology, and ESG-led platforms.
Hands-on experience with M&A, governance design, audit readiness, and scaling under pressure.
I am usually brought in when complexity rises.
Growth outpaces control.
Regulation starts to bite.
Reporting looks compliant but feels hollow.
Or when founders and boards need challenge without theatre.
My contribution is perspective, not management.
I help boards test assumptions, surface risk early, and connect strategy to what actually happens inside the business.
That means asking the questions others avoid.
It also means translating governance into decisions teams can execute.
Current and recent work includes:
– Advisory and chair roles supporting founder-led and investor-backed businesses
– Board-level input on ESG, GRC, and audit readiness frameworks
– M&A support and capital allocation decisions
– Building compliance and governance platforms that reduce dependency on consultants
I am comfortable in boardrooms where capital is at risk, reputations matter, and time is short.
If you are a Chair, NED, or CxO asking:
Are we seeing the full picture.
Are we challenging the right things.
Are we governing for resilience, not optics.
Then we will likely have a useful conversation.
I am always open to thoughtful exchange with those carrying real fiduciary responsibility.
