CEO Transition and Transformation: Supporting new (and prospective) CEOs and their executive teams to help set a clear path forward, define a new strategy and drive business and operating model transformation.

Cost Optimisation: Structuring organisations to optimise cost and performance, typically in response to difficult market conditions, sub-optimal results and changes in strategic direction. 

Merger Integration: Advising and assisting in the pre and post-merger processes to ensure that synergies are maximised (including commercial, operational and carve out), value is realised, and the merged entity is ready for Day 1 and beyond. 

Capital Raise: Defining a medium to long-term strategy for raising and deploying capital to support business growth and facilitating the process and connections to raise capital at key milestones.
