CEOs and leaders

Helping CEOs and leaders grow businesses

As a CEO or senior leader in a scaling business there’s a lot going on. Getting the balance right between investing in foundations for growth alongside delivering business as usual growth is hard. It can feel chaotic and the demands can feel overwhelming.

You need teams and systems to be built at pace. Decision-making needs to be distributed widely. More people means more co-ordination and communication, while avoiding complexity that can be a drag on growth.

As a senior leader specialising in working with CEOs and leadership teams in tech-centric growth businesses, I understand the unique demands you face and how to bring clarity and coherence to scaling businesses.
