About Me
​
​
I’m an ex-BCG strategist-operator, Oxford-trained in PE/M&A. My work sits at the intersection of deal thesis and execution: I model the value story, then wire it into the workflows that make it real and measurable, usually within a week.
I run fixed-scope sprints and time-boxed engagements (typically ≤6 months). Every project closes with a CTM-style handover: living documentation in clean slides and Confluence/Loop notebooks, so your team can run without me.
​
​
What I Deliver
From diligence to post-merger integration, I stand up enterprise-grade controls and operating cadences, such as:
-
Audit-ready governance and compliance controls
-
KPI frameworks, dashboards, and reporting rhythms
-
Revenue operations and integration workflows
-
Evidence vaults for compliance, ESG, and social value
​​
My Principles
​​
-
Enterprise-clean by design: outputs stand scrutiny from regulators, auditors, and boards.
-
Momentum over inertia: deliver working systems fast, then refine.
-
Leave no gaps: when I step away, your team has everything they need to continue.
​​
Availability
I take on a small number of engagements each year. Most run 3–6 months, with sprint-based milestones.
