Two Ways to Work Together
Two doors, one relationship.
Advisory conversations surface execution needs, and execution work surfaces advisory needs. Whichever door a client enters, the relationship converges.
How the Practice Is Engaged
Three structures. Nothing improvised.
Introductions alone are never the product. Every relationship sits inside a structure a client can justify, with terms in writing before anything moves.
Structure One
The Operator Retainer
A flat monthly retainer with named deliverables, in three tiers, five clients maximum, twelve months preferred. Confidential advisory rides inside it as the relationship layer. Every tier is set out in the ladder below.
Structure Two
The Private Room
Ana's own capped table in Palm Beach County: never more than eight at the table, every seat curated by hand, by invitation or application only. This is where her clients meet each other properly, in person, and where introductions are made the way they should be: across a table, not over email.
Structure Three
Introductions, Structured
When an introduction becomes business, it is compensated once: a success fee on the first engagement only, capped in writing, and finished within twelve months. No permanent rent on a relationship, and never a fee on a capital or securities transaction.
Priced into every structure: presence. I show up. I am reliable. I am available. I am dependable.
Elite clients do not pay for promises. They pay for a principal who answers when it matters. At the Principal Operator tier, direct access and priority availability are written deliverables, not courtesies.
Confidential Advisory
Seasons of Transition
Some principals engage Ana for a season rather than a project: the first year after a loss, a relocation, a household being rebuilt. In those seasons she is present in person, at home and in travel, coordinating the attorneys, care managers, and household professionals around the principal so that no part of the transition is carried alone. This is the work of a private office for principals: undertaken privately, by referral, under the same standard of confidentiality as every engagement of this practice.
Principals engage this for themselves, and families engage it for the people they love: an owner whose parent is facing that first year alone can place this same presence around her, privately.
Offered by referral, inside a practice capped at five clients. Retained principals reach Ana directly, and urgent matters are taken up the same day.
Season engagements are undertaken at the Enterprise Operations Partner and Principal Operator Retainer levels.
Season engagements run six or twelve months, under a written engagement agreement.
How confidential advisory worksConfidential Advisory is private, non-regulated counsel. It is not investment, financial, legal, tax or therapeutic advice, and no engagement creates an investment-adviser, attorney-client or therapist-client relationship.
New Offering
Arriving in West Palm Beach?
Firms and wealth operations are landing in West Palm Beach every month, and the welcome services stop at an introduction to the city. Ana is the private version: a landing operator on retainer for the first year. Build out oversight, contractor and compliance coordination for the fit out, the right local introductions, and one accountable person on the ground who knows the rooms, the primes, and the county. When the arrival includes a household, the same first year covers the home: household staff and professionals sourced and coordinated, and the transition carried in person. One client, landed properly.
Business Operations & Digital Transformation
One operator. Accountable for the work.
Who This Is For
Prime contractor owners and executives.
Owners carrying decisions they cannot discuss inside the company. Executives who need someone to own what the org chart cannot. One relationship, built for the way this industry actually works. Procurement leaders serve as the natural qualification and onboarding contact for their firm.
Owners in transition
Succession, sale readiness, post acquisition integration: the decisions with no safe internal audience.
Owners trapped in operations
Bandwidth consumed by the business instead of leading it. Multi project coordination with no center.
Executives owning delivery
Awarded work with real obligations attached. Someone has to carry it past the signature.
01
Pillar One
Most operators sell advice. We carry the execution.
When an award is won, Ana steps in after the signature and carries what comes with it: the training obligations, the compliance requirements, and the documentation the contract demands. The engagement closes audit ready.
How the work runs
Align. Structure. Execute. Document.
- Align. The situation is heard in full: what you need, what stands in the way, and what has to stay private.
- Structure. The right people, capital, and obligations are put in place before anything moves.
- Execute. The work gets carried. Doors open, contracts get fulfilled, decisions get made.
- Document. Every engagement closes with a clean file. Records complete, audit ready, nothing left open.

Pillar Two
Workforce Certification Through FoundHer Elite
When the work requires certified crews, training is handled through FoundHer Elite (THE FOUNDHER ELITE LLC, a separate company). Construction workforce certification and custom programs built around the exact training obligation your contract names. Every license and safety ticket scheduled, current, and documented, so the crew is never the reason a job stalls.
- Construction industry certification through FoundHer Elite, delivered online, with Spanish versions confirmed course by course.
- Custom programs designed around the training obligation your award names.
- One operator, one file, audit ready.
The product is not training. It is your subcontractors passing prequalification and badging on schedule. Primes grade every sub through platforms like ISNetworld and Avetta, and the training evidence is where sub files fail. FoundHer Elite closes that gap: an audit of the bench's training files, the missing training delivered, and the records maintained. Call it the Prequal Pass.
Training is delivered by qualified providers. Ana administers the program, the records, and the certification file. Ana never instructs.

Primarily need confidential counsel? Advisory weighted scopes are available at each tier. Two doors, one relationship. The tier sets the depth of the relationship and access, not a fixed bundle of operational deliverables.
Confidential Advisory is private, non-regulated counsel. It is not investment, financial, legal, tax or therapeutic advice, and no engagement creates an investment-adviser, attorney-client or therapist-client relationship.
Retainers govern executive strategy and firm operations. Course access and procurement fees are priced separately.
By referral or introduction. If you are serious, you already know.
