Project Capacity

The Problem That Needs A Solution

Governments and publicly funded agencies often face the same challenge: big international ambitions, but limited in-house capacity to execute.

Important export, investment, and partnership projects get delayed or shelved—not because the vision is wrong, but because teams are already stretched thin.

That’s where Rosland Growth Advisory comes in. Aaron Rosland offers fractional diplomacy and project leadership, bringing 25+ years of hands-on international experience to help you:

  1. Advance stalled initiatives – Projects that have been sitting on the corner of your desk finally move forward, with dedicated focus and senior expertise.

  2. Accelerate results – Leverage Aaron’s global networks and commercial diplomacy skills to open doors, engage decision-makers, and secure outcomes.

  3. Add senior-level capacity without permanent headcount – Access high-level trade, investment, and partnership expertise when you need it most, without the cost of a full-time hire or consultancy.

How We Work Together

Aaron doesn’t deliver another report that sits on a shelf—he rolls up his sleeves and works alongside you to deliver outcomes. Engagements are tailored but often follow this approach:

  1. Clarify Priorities: We meet to pinpoint the stalled or high-value international initiatives that need focus. This could be advancing an investment lead, moving a market-entry project forward, or unblocking a critical partnership opportunity.

  2. Map the Path Forward: Aaron brings fresh eyes and seasoned expertise to design a lean, actionable approach—identifying decision-makers, refining the value proposition, and building the right connections.

  3. Execute as Part of Your Team: Acting as a fractional diplomat, Aaron engages stakeholders, opens doors, and builds momentum. You gain senior-level execution capacity without adding permanent headcount.

  4. Deliver Tangible Outcomes: The goal is simple—turn dormant plans into measurable results: investment wins, trade outcomes, active partnerships, and renewed momentum for your international agenda.

Why It Works

Aaron has delivered 80+ international investments (worth $200M+), 550+ trade outcomes, 100+ global missions, and opened 25 overseas offices for Canadian and provincial governments. He knows how to navigate cross-border complexity, build trust, and make progress where bureaucracy and resource limits often slow things down.

When you need a seasoned hand to move key initiatives forward, Aaron becomes your trusted extension—your extra pair of senior hands and global network—so your international priorities don’t have to wait.
