THE CEO CONFIDANTE
STAY THREE MOVES AHEAD
WHO IS THIS FOR?
When you sit at the top, it’s not just pressure you carry - it’s perception.
And the higher you rise, the fewer people you can truly trust and the more isolated you feel.
This is for the founder, the CEO, the strategic visionary who:
Knows something needs to shift — but can’t say it publicly
Navigates complexity daily — board politics, fractured teams, silent fatigue
Thinks faster than their peers — and feels more than they admit
Needs a place to be seen clearly, without having to perform
Needs someone who has their back without an agenda
Welcome to your next power move.
Not another coach.
Not a fixer.
Not a fan.
A confidante.
A strategist.
Behind the confidante sits 25 years of chartered accountancy, FD and MD expertise, spanning companies from startup to £300M revenue. I've guided multiple multi-million pound exits, absorbed countless board dynamics, and personally scaled a 40-person company by 433%. This isn't theoretical strategy—it's lived experience at every level of growth, complexity, and decision-making that shapes modern leadership.
TRUSTED BY:
Whilst I don't share testimonials from CEO/Founder clients (NDAs/anonymity guaranteed), I understand that you will be looking for some evidence of my character, values and abilities that you can trust. Here are some thoughts from people I have known, networked or collaborated with or provided services to their clients over the years.
