What Executive Agility does

Executive Agility LLC is a boutique management consultancy founded in 2025 and headquartered in Reno, Nevada, with a registered office in Las Vegas. The firm provides IPO readiness, listing execution, and corporate governance advisory services to companies preparing for U.S. and Canadian stock exchange listings (NYSE, NASDAQ, TSX, TSXV, CSE, OTCQX, OTCQB), including traditional IPOs, dual listings, up-listings, cross-border listings, SPACs, and CPC qualifying transactions. The founder, Deb Banning, is a 15-year veteran CEO and GAICD-qualified Board Director with 17 years of board experience, and engagements are delivered exclusively by senior executive operators (former CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and Board Directors) drawn from an 'Executive Bench' collective spanning the U.S., Canada, and Australia.

The core product portfolio centers on the IPO & Listing Readiness engagement umbrella and includes the Listing Readiness Diagnostic (an 8-domain assessment producing a scored readiness baseline, visual heatmap, gap analysis, and phased implementation roadmap), Board Governance design and remediation, Independent Board Director Placement, Fractional & Interim Executive placement, Strategic Business Advisory, Governance Benchmarking, and Restructures & Change. The methodology is anchored by two proprietary frameworks: the Concurrent Workstream Sequencing model, which coordinates legal, audit, governance, and capital markets workstreams in parallel rather than sequentially, and the 30/90 Day Activate & Deliver™ Assurance Framework, which provides milestone-driven execution discipline. A curated Professional Network of pre-vetted PCAOB auditors, securities attorneys, investment bankers, EDGAR/SEDAR+ filing agents, IR firms, and transfer agents is offered to clients with no referral fees, functioning as both a delivery accelerant and a distribution channel.

The business model is professional services revenue at senior-operator rates positioned well below Big 4 partner billing ($500–$1,500+/hr), with no associate layers or knowledge-transfer costs. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting boards, CEOs, and CFOs directly, with a top-of-funnel content channel via the founder's 'IPO Readiness & Strategy' LinkedIn newsletter (6,000+ professional reach, 700+ direct subscribers) and a bottom-of-funnel direct consultation scheduling mechanism. In February 2026, the firm announced a strategic collaboration with DealMaker to integrate online capital-raising infrastructure (Reg A, CF, D) into its readiness services. Headcount is 1–10; no funding rounds, revenue figures, or institutional investors are disclosed.

Broad incumbent providing comparable readiness and governance advisory work for newly public and listed companies.
• FTI Consulting: Large global advisory firm with a dedicated Corporate Finance & Restructuring and Strategic Communications practice that supports IPO readiness, governance, and listing execution. Comparable as an incumbent offering integrated readiness and listing support, though it serves many other use cases beyond IPOs.
