The Pre-Fixer™
I help business owners and leaders understand what’s really happening when problems keep returning, solutions fall short, or implementation stalls.
For nearly three decades, I’ve worked with CEOs, executive directors, founders and business owners across the Caribbean and beyond. The industries have changed. The organisations have changed. The situations have changed.
Today, my work focuses on business owners and leaders who carry important decisions largely on their own.
One thing has stayed remarkably consistent: people and businesses are rarely as simple as they first appear.
The quality of a decision rarely exceeds the quality of the understanding that precedes it.
That’s why I do this work.

Why this work exists
Leaders invest considerable time, money and effort trying to resolve problems, yet the same issues often return.
The challenge isn’t always finding another solution. It’s understanding why previous efforts haven’t produced the intended results.
The Hudson Alignment Studio™ exists to help leaders examine these situations more closely before deciding what needs to change.
Working with me
When you carry the important decisions, there are few people you can think out loud with. Your team reports to you. Your family has a stake in the outcome. Your peers may be competitors.
I’m someone outside your world, close enough to understand what you’re dealing with, yet far enough removed that you can say what you really think. And I bring the rigour to help you see what you might be missing.
How I work
I start by asking questions. What is happening? What have you already tried? What are you assuming? And what might you be missing?
Where we agree to work together, I help you:
- Look beyond the presenting problem to understand what may be driving it.
- Examine the thinking behind previous or proposed solutions.
- Determine what actually needs to change.
- Where needed, design the solution and guide its implementation.
Every engagement is different. The discipline is the same: Get Clarity before the Fix.
Start with what you’re trying to make sense of
You don’t need to know exactly what the problem is. The Pre-Fix Qualifying Conversation is where we determine whether there is something worth examining more closely and what the most appropriate next step might be.
