'Growth is linear, SCALE is exponential'
Do you have all the elements to scale effectively, are you ready?
We'd check on your potential to scale including your alignment to company vison & purpose, your key people in key place, right product to leverage, IP protected, the perfect customer profiled and right brand message. That's all no good without the right company operating system. We'll follow you on this journey.
Strategic Planning
strategy under pins everything
It's all in the planning. We'll help you cover situational analysis and deep dive, planning and Implementation,
Implementing using key strategic pillars downwards.
Early stage
from Start-up up to market
The how to, who to go to,
o Money to raise,
o IP protection
o MVP/USP and 'whole Product'/ brand development
o Establishing the right amount of Corporate Governance.
Scaling (explosive growth)
are you really ready?, how to?
'Growth is linear, scale is exponential'. We check-it. Knowing you are ready to scale is key, as is having the right people, perfect brand, perfect product, and operational efficiency to scale, not just grow.
Corporate governance
how much is right & when?
Knowing when is right to implement, and how much to concentrate on is always on minds of early and growth stage companies. Our approach is that good early CG is critical, but as a light touch, with the foundations to scale as you scale. We work with you to get this balance right.
We can also set you up for your BCorp governance Journey.
We chair/NED companies.
Alignment, purpose
& soul
'company soul is something you can't see or feel but when you have it, it's magic'
Achieving ALIGNMENT is one of the most important team attributes. Use it to develop high performing teams.
Alignment to purpose drives a company with soul beyond no other. You'll know this magic in your company when you have it. Grow it early.
Mentoring & well being
'you don't know what you don't know'
No one teaches you how to be a CEO or leader. It is often tough and lonely at the top – we've been there. So, we allow leaders a safe place to bounce ideas off trusted advisors.
We'll support personal growth but also make sure you maintain balance and wellbeing - so there is enough left in the tank for the journey
Testimonial feedback...
Jack Oyugi, CEO Biofit Kenya
'I have worked with many mentors, but Jez has proven to be the best...
He changed the way we thought about the new business by walking us through several fact findings, , strategic planning, business valuation, go-to-market strategy, market validation, SWOT, and project scaling, among other things...
He brought other experts and connections with him.... He occasionally deviated from the norm and worked on issues that were unclear to us.
I have full confidence in Jez's ability to help start-ups and provide high-quality business content; I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would do so again.'

Stephanie Lesage, CEO & Co-founder Oxford Silk Phage Technologies, Founding member Phage UK
'(I) was lucky enough to benefit from Jez's advisory services through an accelerator programme. Jez is one of the best advisors I have worked with. With plenty of experience working as CEO/chairman of companies himself, his understanding of the requirements of investors was extremely helpful, but he is also very patient, flexible and fair which means that working with him was a pleasure. I cannot recommend him enough!'

'Jez is mentoring me as I expand into the new role leading a world class technical team.....we met while supporting the same project and I quickly learned to value his insight and guidance. He has a natural ability to connect with people, simplify complex problems into manageable actions and accelerate activity producing results.
...he not only focuses on striving for excellence in the workplace, but also places a priority on self-well-being and fulfilment, something I have not prioritized in the past....
I highly recommend connecting with Jez if you are looking to accelerate a business or career or are looking to find fulfilment where you are.'
