A founder-operated practice. Owners work with Alexander Rennie directly: the same person through diligence, architecture, and the continuity engagement that follows.
Specialist technical and executive search, latterly in an independent practice. Time spent inside how technical businesses actually operate: what the people in them know, how that knowledge moves between them, and what happens to a business when it does not move at all. That work ran across advanced mobility and engineering, before AVP. It is the background the operator judgement was formed in, not the work AVP does now. The pattern repeated across every one of them: the knowledge that mattered most was the least written down, and it sat with the fewest people.
That is the problem AVP is built for. Not advice about it. Infrastructure against it. Everything the business knows, written down where the team can use it: we call that the record. On top of it, the tools the team looks things up with and the manuals for keeping it current. Alongside all of it, commercial and technical support while the business learns to run on them.
Warfront is the public exhibit of the method: a corpus built and maintained in the open so the architecture can be inspected rather than taken on trust. No team page, by deliberate design. Owners work with the principal directly, or the work does not happen.
AVP is currently embedded in two operations-heavy businesses: one preparing for its next stage of ownership, and one handing over from a long-serving founder. Client names to follow with consent.
The architecture is the offer. Warfront is the public proof of it. If you want the shape of the work first, read how an engagement runs.
