Director

2013 - 2016

I am a Director of Onyx Consulting, a management consultancy in the London & European tech scene whose focus is on working with our clients and their investors to co-create successful growth. Our aim is to bring high value consulting solutions to the high growth companies of the future at a time when they may need it the most and have the least access to it. Managing high growth is an exciting time for these companies, but is also a complex task with countless risks and pitfalls. To help them through this, we work with these companies to analyse the competitive landscape and develop their own internal drivers looking across the business from the strategy and operations, with a crucial focus on how to execute their plans, to selecting, managing and leading their talent. We work with our clients every step of the way, treating the business as though it were our own, to help design and implement a plan to navigate the many challenges of realising fast paced growth.
