Approach
I work where enterprise value depends on people.
Leadership quality, specialist expertise, client relationships, and the ability to scale. Across the deal lifecycle, on both sides of the table.
Can this organisation deliver the value thesis?
Most diligence answers commercial and financial questions. The harder ones — can leadership scale, where is value locked in single individuals, what will the organisation cost to integrate — are usually under-examined. That's where I work.
- —Leadership & organisational due diligence
- —Founder, key-person and retention economics
- —Operating model scalability and culture risk
- —Integration planning and value realisation roadmap
Engagements
Three ways to work together.
Independent leadership and organisational assessment, framed against the value thesis. Deliverables flex from a focused diligence read-out to a fuller integration-ready blueprint.
- —Leadership, culture and scalability risk
- —Founder and key-person dependency
- —Findings, insights and recommendations — whether the deal proceeds or not
- —Optional Culture Due Diligence module
How I work
Four principles, applied to every engagement.
01
Judgement over process
Decades of pattern recognition — used directly, not packaged.
02
Fast and AI-enabled
Lean delivery. Modern tooling. No bloated teams.
03
Discreet by default
Sensitive client work. No name-dropping, no logo walls.
04
European reach
Working in English, French and German across markets.
