As an independent advisor, I work with founders and entrepreneurs who are starting to think about what comes next: growing the business, stepping back, selling, or preparing the next generation to lead. My role is to guide you through the transition so that your legacy is protected and your business can thrive beyond you.

With experience spanning energy, automotive, professional services, and insurance, I’ve had the privilege of advising founders, families, and leadership teams across sectors. I also serve on boards, where I help shape high-impact decisions around governance, growth, and continuity – always with a focus on protecting the fouinder’s legacy and the company’s long-term value.

Here’s how I typically help SME owners:

• Clarifying goals for succession, sale, or growth
• Succession planning (family or non-family handovers)
• Supporting M&A preparation and buyer/investor readiness
• Leadership evaluation and transition coaching
• Independent board-level input on continuity and governance

My approach is personal, practical, and discreet. Every founder and every business are different – but the goal is always the same: to move forward with confidence, protect what you’ve built, and prepare for what’s next.

If you’re starting to think about succession, stepping back, or simply preparing your business for the future – I’d be glad to talk.
