Enabling leaders and organisations to thrive in an era of volatility
We help our clients address the opportunities and risks created by an era of increasing volatility and achieve their aspirations to make a positive difference.
We offer advice, counsel and coaching to leaders, teams, organisations and their boards across regions — in professional services, private equity, family businesses, corporates, start-ups, government and nonprofits.
Our work draws on Alastair’s 35-year career across the private, public and social sectors — at McKinsey & Company, where he worked for 22 years, including a decade as the firm’s Global Director of Risk, in government and as an orchestral and operatic conductor. It is informed by his experience coaching and counselling senior leaders and advising on complex issues in all sectors and 120 countries.
