Founders

Helping founders scale effectively

The scaling phase is a new challenge for founders. Your initial vision and hard work to start the the business has got you this far. But what got you here won’t get you through the next stage. Scaling means a new set of challenges that can be 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 an experienced interim leader and consultant specialising in working with founders and founding teams, I understand the unique perspectives you have as a founder and how to work together to these harness these to drive growth.
