Growth is almost never where you're looking. You've stared at the problem a hundred times. The answer isn't coming. You're not missing information — you're missing perspective.
25 years of pattern recognition. R3.5 billion in transformation value. 400+ executives coached. I help leaders find the path that was there all along.
The growth has stalled. The turnaround isn't working. AI is everywhere but clarity is nowhere. Everyone around you has an agenda. You don't need more analysis — you need a different lens.
The insurgent energy that built the business is getting buried under complexity
Every vendor is selling you their solution. You don't know what's real
PE hold periods, board patience, competitive windows — time isn't on your side
"I never thought of it that way." — What clients say, again and again
Competitors who figured it out pull ahead — and don't look back. The window closes.
The PE hold period runs out without the value creation that was promised. The reputation takes a hit.
What was once insurgent becomes another bloated, bureaucratic organisation that forgot why it exists.
Whispered conversations start. "Maybe we need new leadership." The clock accelerates.
Millions spent on the wrong bets. Competitors get it right. The gap widens.
"I know what it's like to stare at a problem so long you can't see it anymore. I know the loneliness at the top. You're not broken. You're just too close."
After 25 years in turnarounds, transformation, and growth strategy — co-leading a R3.5 billion turnaround, coaching 400+ executives, building companies to 29× exits — I've learned that most problems aren't information problems. They're perspective problems.
We talk. No pitch, no pressure. I listen to where you are, what you've tried, and what's keeping you stuck. If I can help, I'll tell you. If I can't, I'll tell you that too.
I come back with what I see — the pattern you're missing, the angle you haven't considered, the path that was there all along. This is the "I never thought of it that way" moment.
We work together — through a focused engagement or ongoing advisory — to turn clarity into action. Fewer priorities. Tighter rhythm. Early wins that build confidence.
That's the moment everything changes. The path forward becomes obvious — because it was there all along. You just needed someone to help you see it.
