I’m Trevor Parker
I work with CEOs, MDs, and their senior leadership teams to turn strategy into practical action, building momentum, alignment, and sustained performance.
Based in the United Kingdom, supporting companies through periods of growth, change, and transition.
Why Work With Me?
I’ve operated at the sharp end of leadership.
I’ve led businesses through growth, crisis, cash pressure, restructuring, and recovery. I know what it feels like when the weight sits squarely on your shoulders.
I work in the way that best serves the business.
Board leadership, operational support, CEO partnership, or senior team alignment. The format adapts to what the situation demands.
Experience that holds up under pressure.
I’ve scaled companies, led turnarounds and exits, raised over £80M in capital, and worked across sectors from family-run firms to PE-backed mid-market businesses.
My Approach
I believe clarity beats complexity
Businesses rarely struggle because leaders lack intelligence. They struggle because clarity becomes diluted by competing priorities and untested assumptions. I help leadership teams remove noise, sharpen intent, and regain the direct line of sight that turns strategy into practical action.
Operations tell the truth long before the numbers do
Financial results are simply signals. The real story sits inside the processes, controls, and behaviours that shape daily performance. I go beyond the spreadsheet to uncover the operational reality that explains what is happening and what must change for results to improve.
When rhythm breaks, performance breaks
Momentum depends on rhythm. When cadence slips, decisions drift, meetings lose purpose, and teams fall out of sync. I work with leaders to restore operating rhythm so the organisation moves with coordinated pace, steady focus, and consistent execution.
You don’t need the ball to change the game
Leadership is not about carrying everything yourself. It is about shaping conditions so others can perform at their best. My approach focuses on intent, rhythm, and practical support, helping leaders influence outcomes with calm authority rather than exhaustion.
Four Roles
Who I work With
When portfolio companies need experienced board-level leadership to bring clarity, stability, and direction through challenge or change, aligning management and investors around practical progress.
When you need a strategic partner who understands the weight of leadership and someone who’s faced the same pressures and navigated the same decisions.
When your senior leadership team needs structured support to align priorities, strengthen collaboration, and accelerate execution through periods of growth or change.
