Chris Mailander

I’ve watched the same thing happen over and over in 35 years, across 40 countries, in public companies and private companies.

There is a point in time in which the CEO is making a particularly critical decision, and they’re asking, sometimes overtly and sometimes subconsciously: am I getting this right?

And the financial advisors will give a financial answer. The strategist will give a strategic answer. And the behavioralist, if they’re even in the room, will give a behavioral answer.

And they’re all right to a certain extent, but they don’t come together, and it’s never enough.

This is the work that I have been doing over the last 35 years. Manually, it was hard. It was slow. It oftentimes felt like you were working from your gut.

But something has shifted in the last year to two years. And now we’ve built something which allows us to see the cross-correlations between the financial engine, the situational context, and how we’re making the decision together on an integrated basis.

It is now possible.

So what we’ve built is something that I have always wanted to build. I’m extremely excited about it, in part because the large public companies have always sought this integrated intelligence across the enterprise. It’s complex, it’s hard to do, it’s expensive, but it was their competitive advantage.

And now private companies can have it too.

It’s Mailander.
