Your strategic advisor, trusted counsel and business partner galvanising your growth ambitions, based in Cologne, Germany
What I do for you.
When you are under a lot of pressure to perform well with your business, it can be hard to prioritise, keep up momentum and to make the best decisions, both for yourself and for others. I have seen multiple leaders overwhelmed with or simply becoming flat from challenges that could have been overcome with quality support and counsel. Fresh energy, new perspectives and different insights can be transformational and of great value to you and your business.
My independent strategic Advisory practice is aimed at supporting startup/scaleup founders, SME/Mittelstand business owners and senior corporate executives (primarily in the Cologne region of Germany) through these defining periods, providing direction, clarity and impetus when most needed.
Specifically, we will work closely to identify, examine and distil issues, challenges and opportunities in a structured manner, creating options and developing outcomes that will deliver the best possible results.
By engaging me, my clients benefit from regular access to:
a trusted counsel/business confidante
strategic advisory
a challenging sparring partner
troubleshooting
mentoring/personal development
A high value business partner who will challenge, explore scenarios and aid better decision making – all provided as a flexible resource and without all the restrictions/fixed-costs/limitations associated with hiring an expensive full-time employee.
Each client’s requirements and needs are different, and engagements reflect that. A typical mandate would be for up to 10 hours access per month, on a continuing or defined, retained basis.
Building long term relationships of integrity, trust and respect are at the core of my being. Tremendous satisfaction and reward come from working together with people - especially when we can bring out the very best in each other and build something of meaning and value.
Originally from Britain, I have lived, worked and operated extensively internationally and also in Germany, where I have had a home in Cologne since 2003.
