“Boards and PE firms engage directly. No search firm, no agency fee. The same accountability as a permanent appointment — from day one.”
How I Work

Inside the business.
Not above it.

01

Diagnose Before Acting

I start with a commercial and operational audit — pricing, margin, working capital, execution cadence. No assumptions. Real numbers from inside the business.

02

Build the Value Creation Plan

A structured improvement plan with clear priorities, owners, timelines and metrics. Not a strategy document — a working tool that drives weekly decisions.

03

Execute With Full Accountability

I hold the P&L. I sit in the operating cadence. I make or support the decisions that move the numbers. Results are measured, not reported.

04

Transfer and Exit Cleanly

Whether stabilising, preparing for exit, or transitioning to permanent leadership — the goal is a business that runs without me.

$1.3M→$5.2M EBITDA in 18 Months
$38M→$93M Revenue Under Management
+500bps Margin Expansion
2.3×→6.0× Exit Multiple Achieved
