About
Systems Thinker.
Leadership Mentor.

"23 years in corporate. Director level. Global firms. Good money. And one day I looked at everything I had built — and realised none of it was mine."

No equity. No clients. No business. A salary with an expiry date I couldn't see. When I left, I made every mistake. I offered everything to everyone — career coaching, leadership training, Six Sigma consulting, MSME advisory. All at once. Nobody hired me.

The day I narrowed to one thing — Data and Analytics for mid-size businesses improving EBITDA — the phone started ringing. Hospitals. Manufacturing. Companies that needed exactly what I had finally decided to be.

My first client came from the father of a classmate of my son. Not my 23-year corporate network. A school event. That is not a coincidence — that is the rooms principle.

Four years of building from zero became the STRIDE framework. Six steps. Everything I learned. Everything I had to unlearn. Built into a repeatable system. My mission: Enable, Expand, and Empower 10,000+ SMEs.
