Capability

Expertise

Eight practice areas, drawn from aerospace propulsion, military operations, programme leadership, Lean Six Sigma, maritime transformation, and acquisition support.

EXP/01Practice

Aerospace and propulsion engineering

Technical foundation in propulsion systems, reliability, safety, regulated environments, and the engineering judgement that comes from working where mistakes are visible and traceable. This discipline underpins every later engagement - particularly when assessing complex mechanical and propulsion-led businesses.

EXP/02Practice

Maritime business transformation

Direct support for shipyards, yacht builders, and marine operators: operations, process improvement, and commercial execution. Roman works on the unglamorous mechanics of a marine business - schedule integrity, build cadence, capacity planning, supplier orchestration, and the cost realities of doing skilled work on water-facing assets.

EXP/03Practice

Electric and sustainable vessels

Electric boating, solar-electric vessels, and sustainable maritime platforms - including the transition from legacy marine systems to cleaner propulsion. Roman advises on programme execution, supplier ecosystems, and the operational realities of bringing electric and hybrid vessels to market.

EXP/04Practice

Yacht manufacturing and operational excellence

Production planning, cost control, build processes, supply chain resolution, quality systems, and manufacturing cadence inside yacht builders. The objective is simple: predictable build, defensible margin, and a programme that holds when conditions change.

EXP/05Practice

Technical due diligence

Engineering diligence, operational diligence, red flag identification, asset condition assessment, business continuity review, leadership assessment, and risk mapping. Designed for investors, acquirers, and legal teams who need an engineer in the room.

EXP/06Practice

Acquisition and turnaround planning

Acquisition strategy, insolvency opportunities, post-acquisition operating models, stakeholder alignment, and turnaround priorities. Roman supports both the diligence phase and the first 100 days, where most acquisition value is either preserved or lost.

EXP/07Practice

Lean Six Sigma and cost reduction

Process optimisation, waste reduction, efficiency improvement, and measurable performance improvement. Applied with engineering scepticism - no theatre, no scorecards for their own sake, just operational discipline that holds up under scrutiny.

EXP/08Practice

Founder and investor advisory

Discreet support for founders, investors, family offices, and high-net-worth stakeholders considering maritime, manufacturing, or engineering-led opportunities. Conversations remain confidential; positions are taken on the basis of technical fact rather than narrative.

Cross-discipline

Most engagements draw on more than one.

A yacht builder diligence is also a manufacturing review. An electric vessel programme is also a supplier and cadence problem. A turnaround is also a leadership assessment. Roman works across these seams.
