Stewart Swayze Bio

I help private equity firms, corporate development teams, and growth-oriented companies make better decisions on acquisitions, new products, and go-to-market plans. I do that through commercial due diligence, market intelligence, and hands-on marketing support.

I am a former operator turned consultant. I can build the strategy and then execute it. I spent more than 20 years in senior strategy, marketing, and sales roles before starting this practice. That background, plus 2,000+ customer and expert interviews across 200+ projects, is why clients hire me.

How I Work

The process stays the same. The depth changes with the project.

  • Start with what you already know
  • Find the gaps and agree on the priorities
  • Add research, interviews, and my experience
  • Test the assumptions and recommend what to do next
  • Help execute if you want that support

I work as part of your team, not as an outside vendor with a long report and no follow-through.

What I focus on

The work falls into three areas.

Same method. Different decision.

Proof

The results are clear

  • 85% of work from repeat clients and referrals
  • 60+ commercial due diligence engagements
  • 150+ market intelligence and strategy projects
  • 2,000+ customer and expert interviews

Clients come back. They also send the next one.

Where my work shows up

The industry may change. My job does not. I've worked in:

  • Industrials
  • Oil and Gas
  • Professional Services
  • Real Estate Technology
  • Aerospace and Defense
  • Construction Technology
  • Energy/Power Generation
  • Healthcare/Biotech/Pharmaceuticals
  • And others

My work covers equipment, software, SaaS, and AI.

Test the assumptions. Find the risks and the opportunities. Recommend or execute what's next.
