Three senior-led services. Three engagement types: Programme, Project, Adviser in Residence. Fixed-fee per milestone, scoped before commitment.
For CEOs and business line leaders, heads of innovation, VC partners and venture studio leaders.
For CEOs, business line leaders and strategy leaders: new spaces for future growth and strategic pivoting — new markets, new product lines, new geographies, or business models powered by emerging technologies. Direction, opportunity validation, board-ready case.
A board-ready growth direction — or strategic pivot — with case, sizing, go-to-market and first 100-day plan. Where the brief calls for it: a validated opportunity proven with real customers, ready for the board to back.
For corporate innovation, venture-studio and product leaders: the structures and the entrepreneurial engine — built inside the business — that produces ventures the company actually backs.
Six to twelve months in: a pipeline the board can read, kill criteria that get used, the team running the methods. One cycle in: sharper intake, clearer kill criteria, more ventures the lines of business will commit capital to. Twelve months after I leave, the next direction gets found without me.
For venture funds, accelerator, incubator and studio leaders developing the operator capability that turns early ventures into ones that scale.
Product and GTM strategy and validation sprints to test the commercial thesis before committing the international expansion spend.
Portfolio CEOs with senior operator guidance on the decisions that move revenue and trajectory. A sharper fund thesis and support model your LPs can stand behind. Startup support engines that produce founders who reach scale, not just programme completion.
Every engagement is fixed-fee per milestone, scoped in writing before any commitment. No open-ended retainers. Specialists from a curated senior network brought in when the work calls for it — never associate-grade.
Opportunity architecture applied. Time-boxed, structured, partly customisable. From a three-week decision arc to a three- to six-month build-and-embed. The methodology stays consistent; the sector context, opportunity and deliverable format flex.
Bespoke to your brief. Time-framed. Scoped and delivered with the methods that fit your specific situation — not forced through a standard arc. For work that does not map cleanly onto the Programme structure.
A senior thinking partner across six to twelve months, scoped quarter by quarter. Embedded in your leadership cadence — defined deliverables, reviewable each quarter.

Start with a discovery call →Six steps, scaled to the brief. I lead each one personally. Fixed-fee. No retainer, no day rate, no scope creep.
30 minutes. A working conversation. Bring the live question — leave with sharper framing and an honest read on whether I'm the right help.
If I'm not the right help, I say so on the call — no follow-up, no charge, no obligation. Inside the work, the same rule holds: if a bet fails the tests, we stop it and bank what we've learned. I don't run on momentum once the evidence has turned.
A written brief: outcomes, scope, who does what, timings — laid out as a sprint plan with a fixed-fee quote agreed upfront.
The team comes together — yours and mine — with specialists pulled in from the network when the brief calls for them.
I embed with your team and lead the work alongside specialists when the brief calls for it. Answers get built with the team, not delivered to it.
I hand over the methods, governance and ways of working. Capability transfer is the standard close — the team owns it from here.
Half an hour. No pitch. Bring the live question — leave with a clearer framing of it, and an honest read on whether I'm the right help.
No follow-up, no charge, no obligation. If I'm not the right help, I say so on the call and point you elsewhere.
