Advisory for private-equity-backed and growth-stage companies. I help leadership teams turn around performance, integrate acquisitions, and build the people systems that make results last.
Based in Miami, Florida • Serving Florida & Nationwide
Culture clash, talent flight, weak management, teams that never align behind the new model — these are the quiet failures that erase value after a deal closes or a market underperforms.
I bring two disciplines that rarely live in one advisor: a decade of hands-on operational leadership across multi-state portfolios, and doctoral training in the psychology of how leaders and teams actually perform.
The result is advisory that fixes both halves — the operating model and the human system underneath it — with measurable accountability from day one.
Engagements are scoped to your moment — a new acquisition, an underperforming market, a leadership gap, or a scale-up that has outgrown its systems.
The first 100 days after an acquisition or in a struggling market — executed so value is protected, not eroded.
Know exactly who can lead the next phase — and build the bench to back them.
Senior operating and people leadership on retainer — for companies that need the horsepower before they need the headcount.
The systems that turn a group of people into a high-performing organization — designed and embedded to last.
A rapid, evidence-based read of the operating model and the people beneath it — surfacing the real constraints, not the obvious ones.
A prioritized plan with the systems, leaders, and metrics that will move performance — sequenced for the first 90 to 100 days.
Execution alongside your team so the change holds after I leave — with accountability and reporting that outlast the engagement.
Over more than a decade, Dr. Julienne Guischard has owned P&L performance across multi-state portfolios of 20-plus locations, led post-acquisition integrations to stability within 60 days of close, and converted underperforming markets into high performers within 90 — in PE-backed and growth-stage environments where speed and accountability are non-negotiable.
She pairs that operational track record with a doctorate in psychology, giving her a clinician's eye for the leadership, culture, and performance dynamics most operators never see. It's a combination that lets her diagnose — and prevent — the people failures that quietly derail integrations and turnarounds.
She advises clients across Florida and nationwide, by engagement, retainer, or fractional executive partnership.
