Meet Jonathan

I advise, consult and invest in companies going through massive and disruptive change working only in fast moving situations. This could be a "positive" situations for a fast growth company struggling to keep up with their opportunities or a negative situation where a company needs to transform or turn around quickly.

My formal career began with 7 years at one of the world's top companies, Procter & Gamble. I set up my own consultancy in 2003. I burnt out in the crash and learnt the hard way that most performance ideas don’t work when you need them most. I led my own recovery by researching and applying ideas from life and death situations such as US Marines, surgeons, and pilots. This experience and research driven approach means I can now generate extremely fast, robust performance improvements through this integration of strategy, psychology, science and military philosophy. Almost all the key ideas are battle tested.

My ideas were adopted by one of the world’s most respected strategy consultants when I wrote and then rolled out a major leadership program around the world and are explained in the critically acclaimed book, Stress and Success – Fast Fixes for Turbulent Times. I've also worked with some of the world's most respected Blue Chip firms.

I still advise large companies but now spent most of my time working with dynamic SMEs (up to £250m) helping to deliver extremely fast business transformations or turnarounds. These typically take less than 6 months and leave the companies with strong balance sheets, greater leadership capability, organisational effectiveness and highly engaged employees equipped to take the company to the next level.

I also work with a small number of executive coaching clients leading their own transformations.
