A fresh perspective on your strategy, with critical independent analysis. I help validate existing plans or provide insight that challenges them, drawing on decades of experience and a wide industry network.
Management Consulting
Helping clients navigate an uncertain future.
Actionable strategic advice for the UK's fastest-growing, founder-led businesses.
Approach
I advise founder-led businesses building some of the most exciting deep-tech and high-growth services in the UK, focusing on clear insight that drives strategic decisions.
Over three decades I have advised clients from the birth of mobile telephony in the early 1990s, through the dotcom boom and the arrival of cloud computing, to the current wave of AI and crypto-based innovation.
I bring extensive experience and professionalism to every engagement. But the advice is direct and often challenging, never an echo chamber for your executive team.
