Not every VP title is a win. We help design leaders avoid the trap of walking into a broken org with no mandate and no chance of impact.
Whether you’re actively interviewing or building a short list, we’ll help you:
Identify companies that actually want strategic design — not just someone to “fix the UX”
Ask the questions that reveal whether design has influence, resourcing, and support
Decode org charts, decision structures, and product signals for real fit
Clarify what you want in a role — and how to negotiate for it
Design leadership only works when the company is ready. We’ll help you know before you say yes.
