About

Consultant, founder, operator. I've seen the road from every seat.

Twenty-plus years across engineering, strategy consulting, and building and running businesses. Now all of it sits on your side of the table.

A hand writing on a whiteboard, listing the real questions asked of a business before any conclusion is drawn: where the money actually goes, what's really being sold, who the real competition is, who the best client is, and what fails when revenue doubles.

The journey

The roads I've taken.

  • Engineer. I started in 2003 as a bioengineer, then did an MBA. The engineering never left. I want to see how something is actually built before I trust a conclusion about it.
  • Strategy consultant. Monitor Deloitte, then building and leading an advisory team, growing it threefold. More than 100 projects across more than ten sectors, from healthcare and government to construction, retail and technology.
  • Founder. Seven years as co-founder, COO and then board member of an e-learning business. We raised the capital, built the platform and the team, and when the business moved away from the model we'd invested in, we made the call to close it.
  • Product and technology. I've shaped product strategy for technology platforms, so I understand how tech products are built, priced and sold.
  • Now. Working with owners across Australia, on the road they've chosen.

Different businesses, same questions. The one you're facing is probably on this list.

What I do

I work with owners who are carrying the big questions alone.

I sit with them, make them say where they're taking the business, then test it hard: the numbers, the market, the model, the way it's actually put together. Then I clear what's in the way and correct the direction as the evidence arrives.

What comes out the other end is one strategy. Revised, tested, and owned by the person who has to execute it.

I don't hand you conclusions.

In my experience people don't execute a plan someone gave them. They execute the one they arrived at themselves. My job is to ask the questions that get you there, not to get there first and tell you about it.

Discovered is owned. Told is not sold.

That's the whole philosophy. Everything else about how I work is machinery in service of it.

Coaching that produces

Direction isn't something you set once.

Start with a coffee, then a Health Check. You choose the depth of support, and we keep testing as the business moves.

In the room

The session itself. Asking the question nobody else has asked, and holding you to the direction you declared.

On my own time

The analysis between sessions. Your numbers, your market, your model, worked properly, and brought back as something built.

What you keep

A written direction, a tested model, and a plan with the numbers underneath it. Something you can act on without me in the room.

The practice

Solo by design, nationwide in reach.

If any of that landed, the next step is just a conversation.
