Where business meets data, strategy and digital edge.
Independent advice for owners, boards and investors on growth strategy, digital transformation, AI and ERP.
Areas of work
Companies rarely face these questions one at a time. I treat them as connected: from strategy to systems to people.
Business strategy and growth planning
Data-driven strategies to scale operations and improve profitability: from market and business-model choices to a plan the team actually carries out.
Digital transformation, ERP and SAP
Guiding technology adoption, automation and innovation for long-term advantage. I help select and renew business systems, deal with vendors and keep the project under control.
AI strategy
Where AI creates real value in your company, where it does not, and how to get from pilots to results in day-to-day operations.
Performance monitoring and KPIs
Clear, usable metrics that connect strategy with daily work and strengthen accountability and results.
Go-to-market and sales optimisation
Sharper positioning, the right channels and a sales approach suited to how buyers decide today.
Leadership coaching and change
Support for executives and leadership teams through strategic shifts, succession and capability building.
Who I work with
Most of my work is with companies and investors for whom technology has become a board question, not just an IT one.
Manufacturing companies
Owners and boards of mid-sized manufacturers who want to grow, digitalise their processes or manage a leadership transition.
Healthcare
Healthcare organisations adopting digital solutions that need an independent view of technology and vendors.
Software and technology companies
Enterprise software vendors refining product strategy, sales and expansion into new markets.
Investors and private equity
Technology and business-model assessment before an investment, and support for portfolio companies in creating value.
Ways of working
The scope follows the challenge. Most engagements take one of three forms.
Advisory mandate
A long-term seat on an advisory or supervisory board: regular strategic dialogue with owners and management.
Project engagement
Defined scope, timeline and deliverables: a strategy, a system selection, a transformation plan or a pre-investment review.
Executive coaching
One-to-one work with CEOs and key leaders, usually as a programme over several months with clear goals.
