CT Development
Unlocking Your Business Potential
About Us
Our Story
CTD is a business management consulting and corporate development advisory firm with a primary focus on helping business owners prepare for and execute successful exits. While many owners are unsure whether to grow, sell, or restructure, we step in early to help strategize, stabilize, and optimize the business so it runs more efficiently — whether the goal is to sell or simply operate with less stress and more profit.
We specialize in sell-side strategy — positioning companies for maximum value, structuring deals, and guiding owners through the transition process — while also supporting ongoing operational strategy, leadership planning, and targeted buy-side opportunities where they align with long-term goals.
Our experience is built on ownership, not theory. We’ve created and sold patented technologies to a Fortune 500 company, and we’ve invested in and helped grow multiple startups from concept through go-to-market success.
Unlike traditional brokers or passive consultants, we have built, scaled, acquired, and sold companies ourselves. That firsthand experience gives us a deep understanding of both the financial mechanics and the human dynamics required to run — and exit — a business successfully.
What We Do
Sell-Side Preparation & Value Positioning
We specialize in helping business owners prepare for successful exits — whether selling outright, taking on investment, or transitioning ownership internally. From readiness assessments to deal execution, we streamline operations, normalize financials, and shape a narrative that positions the business through the lens of a buyer. When negotiations begin, we act as a strategic partner at the table, helping structure terms that protect both value and legacy. Even post-closing, we support leadership transition to ensure continuity and cultural alignment.
Why CTD
Our greatest advantage is firsthand ownership experience. We’ve been buyers and sellers — so we understand both the strategic calculus and the emotional weight behind every decision. That perspective allows us to operate with clarity, not theory.
At CTD, we don’t advise from the sidelines. We step in as true partners, guiding transition points — operational, financial, or personal — with the discipline of an investor and the care of a fellow owner.
Director-Level Engagement & Leadership Roles
Our engagements often operate at a director-level of influence, but always from an external vantage point. We’re not brought in to fill roles — we’re brought in to lead critical decisions with the clarity that only an outside perspective can provide. Whether shaping strategy, driving key initiatives, or representing ownership in high-stakes discussions, we function as senior-level partners who move things forward.
Our Philosophy
Our Approach
Our approach is grounded in clarity, accountability, and execution. We don’t believe in delivering binders of recommendations or abstract strategies that never reach implementation. Instead, we work alongside owners and leadership teams to identify what truly moves the business — then design and execute the most direct path forward. Whether the goal is to grow, restructure, or prepare for exit, our role is to eliminate complexity, create alignment, and drive measurable results.
We operate with an owner’s mindset, not a consultant’s distance. That means straight answers, calculated decisions, and strategies built for sustainability — not short-term optics. Every engagement is treated like it’s our capital, our reputation, and our outcome on the line.
