Publicly Listed Companies

Activism, proxy scrutiny, complex mergers and carve-outs, AGM season, geopolitical shocks, and CEO changes all compress timelines and raise the stakes for publicly listed companies.

Drawing on hundreds of boardroom and CEO mandates worldwide across major industries, we provide independent insights, data, and perspectives and turn them into measurable results.

Designed for Chairs and CEOs of publicly listed companies and the leaders who support them, RefineValue does not run line operations. We remain fully independent and serve as the board’s trusted counsel.

Our measured impact: decision cycle −30%, pack clarity +2/5, gate adherence >95%. TSR +2 pp, EBITDA +5 pp vs. peers. Governance incidents −40%. CEO tenure +30%.

CEO Performance

Special situations

When the moment hits, the markets are watching. Hostile or unsolicited bids, shareholder activism, transformative M&A and carve-outs, liquidity stress, full-scale turnarounds, cyber or geopolitical shocks, and CEO changes all compress timelines and raise the stakes.

We stabilize the boardrooms of publicly listed companies and bring order to the decision-making process. As independent board counsel, we stand up the special committee, set decision rights and cadence, run a rapid diagnostic, and frame real options with risks and trade-offs. Then we put it into motion: we run the first gate reviews, rehearse disclosure with IR and external counsel, prepare the investor-ready board pack and Q&A, and execute a leak-to-disclosure drill—leaving a 72-hour protocol the organisation can follow.

Are you ready to make high-pressure decisions in hours, not weeks, while the markets are watching?
