Who I Support

Who I Support

I support organisations through periods of pressure and change, particularly where leadership demands increase and bandwidth is stretched.

My work often begins through private equity or lender relationships, but it succeeds because it lands constructively with CEOs and leadership teams. The aim is always the same: to bring clarity, calm, and execution discipline without creating disruption or undermining leadership.

The groups below reflect how I work with different stakeholders, each in a way that builds confidence, alignment, and trust.

Private Equity Portfolio Teams

I support UK-based private equity portfolio teams who actively manage mid-market investments and want a trusted operational advisor to bring clarity, calm, and execution discipline into portfolio companies operating under pressure or navigating change.

My role is to help portfolio teams see clearly, act early, and intervene constructively. I work alongside investment professionals to diagnose issues, stabilise performance, and support management teams in a way that strengthens outcomes rather than unsettling leadership.

This support is designed to reduce risk, create confidence, and ensure that intervention lands in a way that management teams can engage with positively.

CEOs and Managing Directors

I support CEOs and Managing Directors of PE-backed and lender-backed businesses who are navigating periods of pressure, change, or increased complexity, providing calm, experienced operational support to help them think clearly and move forward with confidence.

I understand the reality of being accountable for results while balancing investor expectations, team dynamics, and operational demands. My work is not about taking control or questioning leadership credibility, but about helping CEOs regain headroom, make confident decisions, and establish a clear, practical path forward.

The focus is always on support, not supervision.

Senior Leadership Teams

I support senior leadership teams in PE-backed and lender-backed businesses who are responsible for turning strategy into results during periods of change or heightened operational demand.

My work focuses on helping teams align priorities, establish effective operating rhythm, and execute with clarity, without adding unnecessary complexity or pressure. I work with leadership teams, not around them, creating space for honest discussion, better decisions, and stronger collective performance.

The objective is to strengthen how the team operates together, not to impose external solutions.

How This Support Works in Practice

In many cases, this work begins because an investor wants to support a business without creating disruption. How that support is introduced matters as much as the work itself.

My approach is deliberately calm, respectful, and practical. It is designed to build trust quickly, support leadership credibility, and help organisations navigate pressure and change in a way that feels constructive rather than corrective.
