I’m an independent consultant that works with aspirational teams to generate radical outcomes.

In previous lives, I’ve been a Bain consultant, startup chief of staff, newsletter writer, and football strategist. I use interdisciplinary paradigms across strategy, systems, and narrative to unlock high performance for teams of all sizes.

I help clients tackle wicked problems that don’t fit neatly into boxes or departments, like:

How can we cross the chasm from niche to mainstream product-market fit?

We have a strategy on paper, but leadership isn’t on board and the team just isn’t clicking.

Hitting our targets requires dramatic changes – where do we begin?

We need a better story that can attract capital, customers, and employees.

Offering

Your problem is unique, so your solution should be, too.

I take a tailored, no-nonsense approach to each engagement. Once we define the core scope, there are a few flavours for how it gets delivered:

Workshops

When your team needs a shot in the arm, and buy-in is just as important as ‘the answer’.

Structured sessions tailored to your team’s needs, offered in half, full, or multi-day increments. Pivotal interventions to generate new momentum.

Projects

For meaningful deliverables or flexible manpower – fast.

Scope the outputs, set the timeline, or reserve a recurring time allocation to augment your existing team. Why hire when you can bolt-on?

Advisory

Expertise and coaching as a force multiplier, without the overhead.

Set a flexible, retainer-style time bank that you can draw on, how and when you need.

Simon is not just an excellent writer, but also a great surveyor of what makes businesses work — the brand messaging he built for us is a phenomenal representation of who we are and what we do.

– Thomas in’t Veld, Founder & CEO @ Tasman Analytics

“Simon is not just an excellent writer, but also a great surveyor of what makes businesses work — the brand messaging he built for us is a phenomenal representation of who we are and what we do. It crystalised our value proposition in a way that was beyond our expectations, and during the process he could not have been more effective, constructive, and insightful. The pitch deck he built for us has significantly increased the effectiveness of our sales process, the case studies he synthesised are key in our conversion strategy, and our website is finally reflective of the work we do. – Thomas in’t Veld, Founder & CEO @ Tasman Analytics”

“Great communication can be a high-impact superpower, especially for startups. From helping us frame and refresh our overall proposition and strategic narrative, to interviewing clients and bringing the narrative to life through case studies, to rebuilding our sales collateral, writing copy for our website or helping us craft and create board messaging and slides, Simon was an invaluable partner in both the thinking and the doing, helping us make a step change in the quality and consistency of how we communicate with all our stakeholders.” – Jeff Courtney, Partner @ Reply (formerly COO @ Wiserfunding)
