Trusted Advisor to Leaders and Their Teams
What are you actually trying to build?
Most leaders I talk to aren’t lacking ideas or effort. They’re lacking someone who will sit with them, ask the right questions, and actually listen to the answers.
That’s what I do.
I’m Dave Montag. I’ve built businesses, navigated a partnership, gone through an exit, and spent years on executive leadership teams. I’ve been on both sides of hard decisions. And somewhere along the way I discovered that my greatest value isn’t what I know. It’s what I can help you see.
Every person I work with is different. Some are stuck. Some are scaling. Some just have a feeling something needs to change but can’t name it yet. Whatever it is, we figure it out together.
I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
We start with a conversation. Not a discovery call.
Maybe it’s a decision you can’t seem to make. A team that isn’t clicking. A goal that felt right six months ago but doesn’t anymore. Whatever it is, we get into it together, and I bring everything I’ve got. I’ve built businesses, navigated a partnership, served on executive leadership teams, and gone through an exit. I’ve been on both sides of hard decisions.
I’ve been there. And I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
Leaders and founders at any stage, in any industry. Some are scaling. Some are stuck. Some just have a feeling something needs to change but can't quite name it yet.
Off the shelf playbooks. Generic advice pulled from a framework that was built for someone else's business. If you want a deck full of best practices, I'm probably not your guy.
A few questions on a simple form. You'll hear back from me directly, not an assistant. When the time is right, we'll go from there.
You don’t have to have it all figured out before you reach out.
Most people don’t. If something on this page felt familiar, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
