Project Mandates — For Owners and Executive Level Decision Makers

This is not a sales page

This is a contractual framework for principals, boards, and capital providers who need to execute complex energy or infrastructure ventures — without delay, without ambiguity, without failure.

You Engage Me When

Your project is real, funded, and time-bound (12–24 months)
Your capex is CHF 100M+, and you control board-level authority
You need a seasoned JV architect and negotiator — not another consultant
You cannot afford for the venture to stall in negotiations, approvals, or execution

What You Get — The Three-Phase Framework

Every mandate follows a structured, repeatable process. You always know where you are.

Phase 1: Strategic Framing & Partner Mapping (Weeks 1–4)

Deliverables:

Project & JV concept, structure, objectives
Partner shortlist — screened, prioritised, vetted
Term-sheet framework and negotiation strategy
Go/no-go recommendation

Timeline: 3–4 weeks
Fee: Included in engagement fee

Phase 2: Negotiations & Execution Architecture (Weeks 5–16)

Deliverables:

Lead or co-lead negotiations with partners, investors, counterparties
Coordinate due diligence (technical, financial, reputational)
Shape execution architecture — interfaces with EPC, delivery partners

Timeline: 3–4 months

Fee: Included in monthly retainer

Phase 3: Commercial Launch & Capital Readiness (Weeks 17–24)

Deliverables:

Offtake and go-to-market strategy
Financing readiness — structure, bankability, investor communication
Execution-readiness assessment and handover to your team

Timeline: 2–3 months

Fee: Included in monthly retainer

What’s Included vs. What Costs Extra

Base Engagement Includes:

Strategic memos, scenario notes
High-level review of your documents
Partner shortlists, negotiation frameworks
Phase-end go/no-go recommendations
Direct access to me — senior-level leadership

Optional Deliverables (Priced Separately):

Board-grade business plans
Financial models and sensitivities
Investor decks, information memoranda
Custom training or frameworks

Commercial Structure — Transparent, Aligned, No Surprises

Engagement Fee

Non-refundable upfront fee — covers initial structuring.

Typical range: CHF 50K – CHF 150K

Monthly Retainer

Fixed senior-level fee — covers all three phases.
Typical range: CHF 35K – CHF 125K/month

Expenses

Travel and out-of-pocket costs — reimbursed or prepaid.

No personal funding of project expenses.

Success Economics (Optional, Negotiable)

Additional upside — success fee, equity stake, or performance bonus — may complement (but never replace) base cash compensation.

Engagement Agreement

Once mutual fit is confirmed, we finalise a short, project-specific agreement that outlines:

Scope and deliverables
Fee structure and payment terms
Timeline and milestones
Roles, responsibilities, and decision authority
Confidentiality and IP provisions

Who This Is For

✅ Principals and Sponsors controlling CHF 100M+ capex with board-level authority
✅ Executive Teams leading first-of-kind or politically complex ventures
✅ Capital Providers evaluating high-impact infrastructure deals
✅ Project Leaders who cannot afford to stall in negotiations or execution

Who This Is NOT For

🚫 Projects under CHF 100M or with open-ended timelines
🚫 Teams without clear decision authority or board sponsorship
🚫 Exploratory phases without committed capital
🚫 Organisations seeking traditional consulting (reports, analysis, recommendations)
🚫 Ventures that aren’t real, time-bound, and funded

How to Start

Step 1: Qualify Yourself

Ask yourself:

Is our capex CHF 100M+?
Do we have board-level authority?
Is our timeline 12–24 months?
Is our capital committed?

If yes to all four — proceed.

Step 2: Send a Brief Outline

Go to the Contact page and submit:

Estimated project capex range
Primary market and geography
Current stage and target timeline
Your role (board member, sponsor, principal investor, etc.)
Whether board-level sponsorship is in place

Step 3: I Review and Respond

Serious enquiries receive a personal response within three business days.

If aligned, I’ll propose either:

An initial call (30 minutes) to assess fit
A brief scoping step leading to a formal engagement outline

The Commitment

I commit to:

Senior-level leadership — you get me, not a junior team
Direct access — I’m available for critical decisions
Aligned incentives — I win when you win
Clear milestones — you always know where we are
Structured handover — you’re ready to lead independently

You commit to:

Real, funded projects with clear capex and timeline
Board-level decision authority — no consensus-building delays
Timely information — I need data and decisions when I ask
Formal engagement — this is a professional mandate, not ad hoc advice

Success Looks Like

✅ Partners aligned on structure, incentives, and risk
✅ Financing pathway clear to capital providers
✅ Execution roadmap ready for your operational team
✅ Deal closed and project moving forward
✅ You’re in control; I’ve handed off cleanly
