HALO: High-Altitude Executive Guidance for Critical Moments
In today’s high-stakes environments, even the most capable CEOs encounter moments that demand a different kind of support—measured, discreet, and deeply experienced.
HALO is Pivot >’s elite advisory service designed for just that: offering confidential, high-impact counsel to leaders navigating complex, unfamiliar, or politically sensitive situations. It can stand alone or seamlessly complement Pivot’s broader restructuring and advisory work, adding strategic depth where executive judgment is critical.
Inspired by its military namesake—High Altitude, Low Opening—HALO advisors are former CEOs, COOs, and senior executives who drop into challenging scenarios with precision and composure. Whether it’s guiding through a board-sensitive situation, helping recalibrate executive presence, or providing an informed sounding board behind closed doors, HALO operates quietly but decisively.
This is not coaching in the conventional sense. It’s executive-to-executive advisory from someone who’s been in the chair, understands the pressures, and knows how to move through them with clarity and command.
When stakes are high and vulnerability isn’t an option, HALO provides the altitude, insight, and discretion CEOs need to lead with confidence.
