Services for organisations (B2B)

When Misalignment Slows You Down, I fix it.

I partner with CEOs, executive teams and beyond to scale operational impact or optimise, and drive aligned execution, especially in moments of growth, change, or transformation.

I run diagnostic sprints, structure operations, and align operations and teams from startups to FTSE 10 organisations.

The result: Go-To-Market-ready recommendations that remove friction.

Impact: accelerated strategy implementation, and revenue realisation.

|Executive Strategy & Alignment

  • Your strategic right hand, without the permanent headcount.

    I embed alongside your leadership team to co-create strategy, coordinate execution, and deliver the critical projects that move your organisation forward, at pace.

    For

    CEOs, founders, and senior leaders who need someone who has already done this at scale to bridge the gap between vision and execution.

    What You Get

    • An embedded strategic partner working alongside your leadership team

    • Strategy co-creation and execution coordination across functions

    • Cross-functional alignment and stakeholder management

    • Governance frameworks that accelerate decision-making

    • Regular progress reporting with proactive course correction

    Investment

    Perfect if...

    • You are scaling fast and your leadership team is stretched beyond capacity

    • Strategic priorities keep slipping because no one owns the connective tissue between teams

    • You need someone who has sat in the Chief of Staff seat at companies like LinkedIn and PwC, not someone learning on the job

    Outcome

    Your strategic priorities move from intent to measurable impact, with clear ownership, aligned teams, and an operational rhythm that keeps momentum.

  • When teams work hard but pull in different direction, this fixes it.

    I conduct a focused two-week diagnostic sprint with strategic stakeholder interviews, mapping requirements, opportunities and bottlenecks, and deliver actionable recommendations that align interests with priorities and accelerate your strategic objectives.

    Outcome

    A clear picture of where alignment breaks down, a practical roadmap to fix it, and teams that start moving faster together within weeks.

  • Turning organisational change from disruption into competitive advantage.

    From digital transformation to operational restructuring, I provide the strategic backbone and people-centred approach that keeps your transformation on track and your teams connected through it.

    • Your strategy is clear at the top but gets diluted by the time it reaches execution

    • Teams are busy but not necessarily working on what matters most

    • You have done the offsite and set the vision but need help making it real

    Outcome

    From recognition programmes to incident management, from AI implementation to bespoke organisational challenges. I bring strategic thinking and execution discipline to the projects that matter to your business but fall outside traditional frameworks.

    • You have a high-priority project that does not sit neatly within any one team

    • You need someone who can own the problem end to end and simply make it happen

    • The initiative is important enough to matter but does not warrant a full programme

    Outcome

    Your critical project gets the strategic attention and execution discipline it deserves, delivered on time and handed over cleanly.

Where there is a rhythm for strategic priorities to stay visible, accountability flows naturally. That’s why I put such weight on establishing governance rhythms that go beyond reporting, with practical, meaningful check-ins that surface issues before they turn into roadblocks. Proactivity is key. Alignment with stakeholders is critical. Together, this is how I bridge strategy with execution at pace.

The most popular topic from my panel discussion amongst 130 Chiefs of Staff In New York was a game-changer decision-making framework, called RAPID. Apply RAPID framework (Recommend, Agree, Perform, Input, Decide) to get the right people involved, cut through the noise, and drive faster, smarter decisions.

Three tips to deliver a successful leadership offsite.

Thematic offsite tips for strategic focus of your leadership team

Szilvia Kocsy, Consultant and former Chief of Staff at LinkedIn, discussed with Tom Guthrie, President of the Chief of Staff Network how operators can navigate Al's pace, add guardrails, and prepare for career shifts. We discussed:

Al best practices are still early stage: ethics, data controls, and usage policies remain immature; leaders should pilot, document guardrails, and iterate as capabilities evolve.

Al democratizes production, but audiences still seek human perspective and connection; combine human spark with Al scale for resonant outputs.

70% skills shift by 2030: massive change is inevitable; prioritise continuous learning.

Shadow-Al risk management: choose approved tools, set confidentiality rules, and create team champions and hackathons to spread safe, effective habits.

Helping executives gain leverage: use Al to stress-test decisions, mine meeting transcripts for patterns, and tighten enterprise messaging. The result? More clarity in less time.

Workflow rebuilds beat small changes: map current processes, then automate, augment, and amplify.

Put your "mask" on first: automate emails/records/meetings, use Al to strengthen judgments, then focus human time on strategy. Once you've tested the processes, then cascade them with your CEO and team.

The power of community: build peer learning (e.g., Szilvia's Life Mentor Circle to accelerate upskilling and normalise shared Al frameworks across functions.

Speech is 3× faster than typing. So I tested the main AI dictation tools to see which ones actually free up strategic thinking time and how to use each effectively.
