A few things have shaped my career: First, my fascination with the human spirit and how people can literally change the world. This has inspired me to work and live around the globe, from the US to Europe, China and India. Second, my appreciation for the disruptive power of technology and the profound impact it has on business and society. This led me to spend time in places like Silicon Valley, building deep relationships with some of the world’s most dynamic investors and founders.Third, my exposure to transformative economic cycles. From the insanely high-growth ’90s to the dot-com crash in 2000 to the fall of seemingly invincible corporates… and the rise of new powers and disruptors along the way, I’ve always found myself at the centre of these periods of profound change. These experiences have taught me the importance of never sitting still, shaping my perspective on business transformation and innovation.Today, as a driving force behind Elixirr, I am grateful for the journey that led me here. Our goal is to continuously raise the bar and challenge convention when it no longer makes sense. Our ambition is to build the best consultancy in the world. Unlike most consulting firms, we do not take a cookie-cutter approach to finding solutions. We leverage our experience to bring insights and perspectives but always create a bespoke approach to make sure we address the unique needs and consider the specific situation of each client.We believe what has worked for one client may not work for another. We work in short sprints to formulate our hypotheses and test them to generate qualitative and quantitative data. This increases the likelihood that our recommendations and solutions will be successful.Our practitioners have real-world experience. We are not career consultants – most of our team have worked in industry or have been entrepreneurs. We understand what it takes to build successful businesses and deliver change that sticks.And we don’t work for companies. We work for people. Those who have a bold ambition and the guts and resilience to see it through. Those who are unafraid to go against the grain.It’s what makes Elixirr ‘The Challenger Consultancy’, reshaping industries to make a positive, lasting impact on the world. If you’re a bold leader eager to challenge the status quo, I’d love to connect with you.
