principal, every engagement
01 · What brings leaders here
Most engagements start with one of these four sentences. Each one is a decision, not a project brief.
"We need a pricing strategy."
Your monetisation model no longer reflects the value you deliver, and every renewal turns into a discount conversation.
"Our product adoption has stalled."
The roadmap is full, the team is busy, and the numbers that matter to the board have stopped moving.
"We need AI without the hype."
You want defensible AI bets — not a landing-page refresh — and a way to separate real opportunities from noise.
"We're evaluating a technology investment."
A platform, an acquisition, or a data centre programme, and you need an independent perspective before capital moves.
02 · Selected engagements
B2B SaaS · United Kingdom
→ NRR 102 → 126
Challenge
Net revenue retention had stalled in the low 100s. Three overlapping plans, discounting normalised in every renewal.
Approach
Repackaged around a single value metric. Repriced the install base in two waves. Instrumented win/loss telemetry against the new packaging.
Outcome
NRR recovered into the mid-120s within six months. New-logo ACV lifted ~33%.
Hyperscaler tenant · India
→ 3 sites · 8 weeks
Challenge
Capacity required across three regions in eighteen months. Power, land and regulation weren't being modelled together.
Approach
Built a weighted multi-criteria site model. Ran independent power and permitting diligence. Negotiated land and energy on the owner's side.
Outcome
Three sites approved inside eight weeks. ~14 months of internal cycle time avoided.
AI infrastructure scale-up · International
→ 4 hires · <10 weeks
Challenge
Four senior platform roles open for six months. Generalist agencies were producing mismatched shortlists.
Approach
Rewrote role theses with the CTO. Sourced from a curated operator network. Ran technical screens with sitting practitioners.
Outcome
Four senior hires closed in under ten weeks. All four still in seat at eighteen months.
03 · How we think
A consulting philosophy, not a services menu. These beliefs decide what we take on — and what we tell you honestly is not worth doing.
01
Packaging, entitlement and price are engineered together — not bolted on at the end of a roadmap.
02
Where the calendar, headcount and capital go on Monday morning is the strategy. Everything else is narration.
03
Architecture choices are commercial choices. They set the ceiling on margin, speed, and optionality.
04
Site, power, capacity and vendor commitments outlive the executives who made them. Model them accordingly.
