About the practice

Counsel from someone who has had to run the thing.

A one-principal practice for founders and executives who already know the strategy. The gap is the operating system underneath it.

The principal

Fifteen years in the room, not beside it.

Financial services, consumer goods, and public programmes, from Accra to Europe. The practice started because the same failure kept repeating: a strategy nobody could run, a team hired ahead of the system, a board asking for numbers the business could not yet produce.

Clients come for a direct read and a plan that can start on Monday. Engagements are scoped. There is no retained theatre.

Sectors, one method

How an engagement runs

Diagnosis, then a plan, then the room.

— 01

Listen in the operation

Interviews, the numbers, and the meeting rhythm. The constraint is usually not the one in the deck.

— 02

Write the ninety days

Roles, cadence, and the decisions that cannot wait. Short enough that a founder will use it.

— 03

Stay for the hard weeks

Board prep, a hiring call, a reset. Then stop, unless a retainer is the right shape.

Where the work has been

Six sectors. The method does not change.

Finance.

Operating rhythm before the next raise.

FMCG.

Route to market and the team that has to run it.

Technology.

From founder-led sales to a system.

Public.

Programmes that have to show the work.
