Brent Larlee’s Summary
A seasoned entrepreneurial executive with a track record of growing successful businesses while holding a variety of operational management roles. Blending a pragmatic understanding of how to get things done with strategic insight, I am adept at optimizing opportunities. Often these new opportunities come from the expansion of a product or service line to better serve a client base, but I have also successfully expanded companies into new geographic regions and territories to capitalize on market opportunity.
I employ my business experience in an advisory and consultative role with growth companies, or enterprise clients looking to ignite growth. Whether acting as an extra set of strategic hands on a project basis, or bringing needed experience and expertise, I focus succinctly on adding value and delivering results quickly; I frequently share ideas about growth strategies via articles published at WaiHakaStrategies.blogspot.com, or industry speaking engagements.
A native of northern Maine, I bring a strong work ethic to all my endeavors. My father told me I could be successful if I “worked a half-day, every day…it didn’t matter if it was the first 12 hours or the second 12 hours of the day.” Over time, I have complimented this approach by adding the adage, “working hard is admirable, working smart is profitable.”
The links above to the WaiHaka Strategies website and blog will provide further information about my services and philosophical approach to business.

Managing Director
WaiHaka Strategies LLC
(Management Consulting industry)
November 2007 — Present (2 years 2 months)
WaiHaka Strategies is a consulting company that delivers strategic advisory and implementation services to help companies accelerate and manage growth. I started the practice to help entrepreneurs and business executives realize their business goals. Most of my work focuses on helping management teams to develop or refine sales & marketing strategies, evaluate and enter new geographic or vertical markets, and provide transitional or operational management support.
Some of the types of engagements that keep me busy include; development or analysis of sales models to match an approach with the target market’s buying processes, sales effectiveness assessments to analyze results and provide suggestions for changes to optimize results, business plan development or review to prepare a company for fund raising efforts, and strategic management consulting across all functions of a business from client facing functions to back office operations.
