My background

The transition from founder-led to structured organisation is something I have experienced from the inside: as a CEO, as an operator and as an adviser. Having grown up in a family business, I also understand the dynamics of ownership, transfer and the entanglement of company and family. That combination of experiences means I can help navigate the tension between building, scaling and handing over. Not only from business theory, but also from practice.
