Stay Calm, Get Results

Are you a Private Equity firm? A private investor? Does the thrill of venturing where others fear to go send excitable chills down your spine? Do you crave the adrenaline rush of acquiring struggling companies, only to face the daunting task of integrating them? Does the high-stakes world of deal-making drive you each day, even when it means putting your capital on the line? Have you battled through deals fraught with obstacles, only to realise that the large consultancies’ rigid frameworks weren’t built for the chaos and culture you face and are aiming for?

If you're driven by the challenge and ready to confront what others won’t, let's talk about what it truly takes to make these deals work.

I’ve seen it all — from working with some of the largest deals with powerhouse Chinese and UK banks, high-stakes mergers in the restaurant and pub world and a marathon of seven back-to-back deals for a global insurance titan. I’ve swapped out HR systems like Workday and ServiceNow as smoothly as changing shoes, building a toolkit that fits every need and crisis.

When things veer off course, I’m all about staying steady, focused and (dare I say) even enjoying the ride. Anyone who knows me knows that high pressure isn’t my downfall; it’s where I shine. I’m half A-Team, half “who ya gonna call” (but with spreadsheets, data, integration timetables and board reports). I specialise in tackling the complexities that send others scrambling.

What you’ll get with me is clear: a straight talker who delivers a direct assessment of the issues, a no-nonsense roadmap and pragmatic solutions that work. With me, there’s no drama — just calm, experience, a sense of humour, personality and grit that’ll see you to the other side.

Sure, you can call in the big consulting firms, but they’ll often stay in their lanes and you’ll feel it in your budget. My approach goes beyond that: I’ll uncover hidden culture clashes, mend pension and reward gaps, find payroll synergies, create communication plans that work, provide clear timed plans for delivery and bring solutions that make sense for you and your teams (both current and incoming).

Alongside me I call on teams of industry experts when needed that don't cost the earth - from reward to benefits, to communications, to finance through to data analyst experts, I call on my associates when needed. As a team my comrades and I thrive on using our experience and making your deal and life easier.

So, if you’re looking for someone with battle scars and a steady hand to make tough calls and navigate the twists and turns, lend me your trust.Having just completed a private deal for a PE house, I’m ready for another deal encounter!
