Hosts
Two perspectives. One conversation.
Built for Advice is hosted by Janice Diaz and Romaine Howard. One brings strategy, positioning, and cross-border growth. The other brings operations, delegation, and internal delivery. Together, they cover the ground most advisory-firm conversations quietly skip.

Strategy + Operations
Why these two perspectives belong in the same room.
Together, Janice and Romaine bring strategy and operations into the same conversation, because advisory firms rarely fail from one isolated problem. They stall when the structure underneath the ambition is not strong enough to carry the business.
