Four rooms. One method.
Every engagement is different because every company is different. But the outcome is always the same: a growth organization that knows where it's stalling, knows what to do about it, and owns the plan to get there.
Turn ambition into a system.
For CEOs & Founders
You've raised the capital. The market is there. The strategy is sound. Something in the organization isn't translating it into results – and you can feel the gap between what the deck says and what the numbers show.
We run the full CLG Method as a 90-day sprint, built with your leadership team and the people closest to your customer journey. By day 90, you don't have a report. You have a running engine – with aligned OKRs, owned roadmaps, and a 360 Brief cadence that keeps the executive team informed on what's moving and why.
Enterprise value starts with revenue performance.
For Private Equity & Venture
Multiple expansion follows revenue performance, and revenue performance follows the humans who drive it. Your portfolio companies don't need more tactics. They need clarity on where growth is actually leaking – and a method their operating teams will own and execute.
For operating partners, we de-risk investments by installing the CLG Method inside a portfolio company – typically during the first 90 to 180 days of a new CEO, a repositioning, or a transformation mandate.
You don't need someone to run your marketing. You're already doing that.
For CMOs & SVPs of Marketing
You're executing well. The team is strong. The work is landing. And yet – the CFO can't quite see the ROI. The CEO lost confidence during a quiet quarter. The board asked a question at the wrong moment and nobody had the answer ready. The work was good. The communication of the work wasn't.
CLG Partners works differently with marketing leaders. We consult and advise – helping you execute the CLG Method faster than you could alone, and building the 360 Brief into your operating rhythm so the work you're doing and the impact you're making stays visible to the people who decide your future.
Install a growth operating model, not another recommendation.
For Boards
The board doesn't need another consultant's report. You need a method, a roadmap, and a team that can execute – and a cadence that gives the board visible signal on growth progress between formal meetings.
CLG Partners works with boards at inflection points: a new CEO or CMO hire, a new competitive threat, a new market expansion, a growth mandate with a clock on it. Dariusz brings board-facing operating experience across public companies (FranklinCovey NYSE: FC corporate officer, Telenav post-IPO corporate officer with earnings-call and SEC-filing accountability) and PE-backed boards (G-P, EDB, Malwarebytes) – quarterly board presentations, director pre-briefings to build buy-in ahead of meetings, and investor reporting. The 90-day sprint delivers what most board engagements never do – strategy, execution, and ongoing visibility, built by the team that will run it.
If you're in one of those rooms, I'd welcome the conversation. No form. No funnel. Just a conversation between people who've been in the room.

Engagement questions.
-
The sweet spot is growth-stage ($10M+ ARR), PE-backed, and public companies needing repositioning. Seed and early Series A companies are typically better served by tactical agencies. CLG Partners is a growth operating system – it works best when there's a real organization to align.
-
Yes, selectively. Dariusz is a five-time global CMO and three-time GM who has served as interim and fractional CMO at FranklinCovey (NYSE: FC), Globalization Partners (Vista Equity + TDR Capital), EnterpriseDB (Bain Capital + Great Hill Partners), Malwarebytes, and Confiant. Fractional and interim engagements typically start with a 90-day CLG Method sprint and continue as operating partnerships.
-
For CEOs, PE partners, and boards, we run the full CLG Method as a 90-day sprint – 7As audit, SPARC roadmap, PST investment matrix, aligned OKRs. For CMOs and SVPs of Marketing, we consult and advise, helping you run the CLG Method inside your organization faster and building the 360 Brief into your operating rhythm.
-
Deep experience across enterprise software and B2B SaaS, data infrastructure and AI platforms, cybersecurity, technology and telecom, digital media and ad tech, HR tech and future of work, mobile and connected car, voice and conversational UX, search and browsers, and leadership and organizational performance. The method itself is industry-agnostic.
-
Engagements are priced by scope and commitment. The CLG Method 90-day sprint is the core offering, with fractional retainers and interim CMO arrangements available after the sprint for clients who want embedded execution. Let's have a conversation about what fits your situation.
-
Hybrid by default. Key executive workshops and kickoff/alignment moments benefit from in-person presence. Most of the weekly cadence, interviews, and documentation work runs remotely – which also lets the engagement scale across global or distributed teams.
