Approach

Alongside the CEO, the leadership team and the shareholders.

Convictions

01

Strategy is not an audit.

It sets a three-year trajectory, and it is built with the leaders who will carry it. A diagnosis, however good, is no substitute for choices.

02

A transformation plan is judged by what it delivers.

Listing workstreams is not enough. Each lever must carry a quantified share of the growth and margin trajectory: that is the link shareholders look for, and the one most often missing.

03

An acquisition is won before closing.

The window between signing and closing is almost always underused. Integration model, governance, first days: whatever has not been prepared ends up decided in a rush.

04

The AI dividend is shared, and often overstated.

In service businesses, the bottleneck is not production speed but specification, dependencies and validation. And the gain is split between the company, its clients and its shareholders, who often claim it first.
