The Force That Moves Companies
Wryver (pronounced River) is an advisory practice that helps leaders see what's actually driving performance, misalignment, and strain beneath the surface.
Founded by Lena McDearmid, Wryver works with founders, executives, and leadership teams navigating growth, change, or complexity. We diagnose what's happening underneath the symptoms, name the truths leaders are often too close to see, and collaborate to design the cultural and operational systems that make businesses easier to run and better to work in.
Our work sits at the intersection of leadership behavior, organizational systems, and execution, especially when pressure is high and the stakes are real.
How We Engage
The Diagnostic
A structured diagnostic that helps leaders clearly see what's driving underperformance, tension, or stalled momentum.
We listen, observe, and synthesize what's happening across leadership, teams, systems, and decision-making, then reflect it back with clarity.
What leaders gain:
- • A shared understanding of the real problem
- • Language for what's been difficult to name
- • Clear priorities grounded in reality, not assumptions
The Build
A focused implementation sprint to install the first set of changes once leaders align on the problem.
This is hands-on, collaborative work that turns insight into action and replaces friction with practical structure.
What leaders gain:
- • Clear ownership and decision rights
- • Working rhythms and operating practices
- • Momentum that actually holds
Ongoing Advisory
An ongoing advisory partnership for leaders navigating growth, pressure, or change.
We stay close through moments that matter, helping leaders course-correct, strengthen systems, and sustain performance as complexity increases.
What leaders gain:
- • A trusted outside perspective
- • Support through high-stakes decisions
- • Leadership systems that scale with the business
