TRUSTED ADVISOR
When the problem isn't technical but human. When you know something's broken but can't see what.
Forty years of reading systemic patterns, power dynamics and relational architectures.
ABOUT
I'm not a traditional consultant. I don't sell solutions, I don't implement, I don't drag myself through endless projects.
I come in, read the system, tell the truth without filters, and leave. The client gains clarity on what they couldn't see. What they do next is their business.
I never accept the first answer. The problem you tell yourself is rarely the real problem.
WHAT I DO
Reading complex human systems that have run aground
What I offer
- Reading invisible patterns
- Diagnosing stuck systems
- Identifying leverage points others miss
- Truth told without softening to people mature enough to handle it
- Direction: "if I were you, I'd do this"
What I don't offer
- Implementation
- Software or technological solutions
- Ongoing projects
- Hand-holding
- Diplomacy when frankness is needed
- Execution on your behalf
FOR WHOM
People who already know the problem is human, not technical
Family Offices
Dysfunctional intergenerational governance. Stalled successions. Family conflicts paralysing strategic decisions. Founders who won't let go of control. Unspoken power dynamics sabotaging every decision.
Wealth Professionals
When your client has a problem you can't solve because it's not in your technical perimeter but in the territory of human systems. Successions that stall, families that have stopped talking.
Founders & Entrepreneurs
Generational transitions that won't take off. Partners who have stopped truly talking to each other. Growth that has broken equilibria that once worked. The company you built no longer resembles you.
Professional Partnerships
Law firms, accountants, architects, doctors. Partners in silent conflict for years. Decisions postponed indefinitely. Poorly managed internal successions. Talent walking out the door.
Boards & Directors
Paralysed governance. Strategic decisions that never get made. Power dynamics that nobody names but everyone suffers. Meetings going in circles for years.
Family-Owned SMEs
The same dynamics as large fortunes, on a different scale. Fathers who won't let go, children who aren't ready (or who are, but nobody sees it). The business that holds the family together and tears it apart.
