About

Your company has nature or climate exposure — and the regulators, investors and NGOs circling it aren't going away. I help you understand what your stakeholders actually need, where there is genuine common ground, and how to engage in a way that moves things forward — for everyone.

I've led four major conservation organisations at CEO and C-suite level. I know exactly how the other side thinks, what drives their decisions, and where the real leverage is.

Most advisors tell you how to manage NGOs. I used to run them.

I work with a small number of leaders each year — bringing senior judgment, strategic clarity, and candour when the stakes are highest.

Advisory

Four ways
to work together

Flagship · Retainer
Executive Advisory

Ongoing confidential advisory for CEOs. A trusted outside voice on high-stakes decisions, strategic positioning, stakeholder dynamics, and leadership judgment.

Monthly retainer
Fixed Term
Strategic Sprint

One significant challenge. Eight to ten weeks. A clear path forward. For leadership teams that need sharper choices and a practical direction — without a long consulting engagement.

8–10 weeks
Sessions
Board & Executive Sessions

Working sessions for boards and leadership teams. Designed to surface risk early, clarify strategic direction, and sharpen the quality of consequential decisions.

Half-day or full-day
Cross-Border
Canada–Nordics Advisory

Cross-border advisory for Canadian and Nordic organisations seeking stronger partnerships, better market understanding, and more effective stakeholder navigation.

English and Swedish

An operator's
perspective,
not a commentator's.

Most advisors bring frameworks. I bring firsthand experience operating in the environments my clients face — contested stakeholder landscapes, cross-sector coalitions, high-scrutiny decisions where credibility was as consequential as financial performance.

Senior judgment from someone who has run organisations like yours — or negotiated with them
Candour and discretion in equal measure
Strategic clarity in complex, contested situations
An outside perspective with genuine international reach
