LDA — Digital Advisory

What we do

Three capabilities, one thread: digital commerce decisions made with operating experience behind them.

Board & executive advisory

For boards and leadership teams of large consumer and retail businesses.

The digital agenda now carries questions most boards weren't built to answer: where online growth actually comes from, whether marketplace revenue creates value, how channel economics should shape capital allocation, and what resilience really requires. We help boards and executive teams cut through — with counsel shaped by having sat in those seats, not beside them.

Typical engagements

  • Digital growth and channel strategy review
  • Marketplace and partnerships strategy — build, buy, or partner
  • Online P&L and margin diagnostic
  • Cyber and operational resilience — the commercial questions boards should be asking
  • Executive sparring for CEOs and digital leaders

Advisory to investors

For private equity and venture capital.

Digital claims decide valuations, and most diligence takes them at face value. We test them against operating reality: what the metrics actually say, where the growth plan will meet friction, and what value creation genuinely requires post-deal. For portfolio businesses, we work with management teams on the levers that move the P&L — conversion, retention, channel mix, and marketplace economics.

Typical engagements

  • Commercial due diligence on digital and e-commerce assets
  • Post-acquisition value creation planning
  • Portfolio company growth reviews and board support
  • Digital thesis development for sector investments

Leadership

For businesses that need proven hands at the top table.

Some situations need more than advice: a leadership gap, a turnaround, a build-out, a chair or board seat that demands genuine digital fluency. We provide interim executive leadership and non-executive directorship for consumer, retail, and digital businesses — bringing the authority of having led at scale from day one.

Typical engagements

  • Interim digital/e-commerce executive leadership
  • Non-executive directorships
  • Advisory board and committee roles

We keep the firm deliberately small and the engagements deliberately senior. No leverage model, no junior teams learning on your budget — the experience you buy is the experience in the room.

Start with the question, not the scope.

The best engagements begin with the problem as you see it. Tell us what you're weighing, and we'll tell you honestly whether and how we can help.
