THE BUSINESS CAN BE STRONG AND THE INVESTORS CAN STILL HESITATE.
Capital processes examine almost everything.
The numbers. The strategy. The market. The forecasts. The risks. But they rarely examine what happens to the CEO when the pressure rises.
That is where STRATA works.
We focus on how CEOs and founders are experienced during consequential capital events from a $5M+ raise through M&A and IPO.
We call it Leadership Signal.
It is the part of leadership investors experience in real time when they challenge the assumptions, push on risk and decide whether they have enough confidence to move.
STRATA MAKES THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE.
Our work is diagnostic and corrective.
We identify the automatic response that appears under pressure, show how it changes the way the CEO is experienced and correct the pattern before it creates unnecessary friction in the capital process.
This is not coaching, capital advisory or communication training.
STRATA was built from work with more than 600 CEOs across 18 countries. We understand the discretion required to work with global leaders when the stakes are highest.
Founded by Leanne Bucaro and Alan McLaren.

ALAN McLAREN
Co-Founder
Alan brings the perspective of a career spent leading companies and working alongside CEOs in consequential business environments.
As a former International Chair of YPO GOLD, his leadership experience spans a global CEO community of more than 38,000 leaders across 140 countries.
His perspective is grounded in a simple reality:
What leaders intend is not always what the room experiences. And in capital-critical moments, that difference can carry a real cost.
