30-minute call. Scott will tell you directly whether there is a fit and what the engagement would look like. Focused on industrial, manufacturing and distribution businesses across APAC.

Engagements come from three directions. Private equity firms and operating partners deploying into portfolio companies where EBITDA improvement is the mandate. Boards and chairs of industrial businesses seeking an interim CEO or Managing Director where performance needs to be restored, a leadership transition is underway, or a transaction is being prepared. Executive search firms and direct approaches from founder-led businesses requiring CEO-level operational accountability.
Whether the engagement is titled CEO Australia, interim CEO, Managing Director or operating partner, the operating approach is identical: full P&L accountability, a commercial cadence installed within 30 days, and EBITDA improvement visible within 60–90 days. The title reflects the mandate. The execution model does not change.
Available for engagements across industrial, manufacturing, distribution and building materials businesses in Australia, New Zealand and APAC. Mandates typically 3–18 months. See the track record for outcomes delivered under this model.
