Helping CEOs and leadership teams turn complexity into clarity.
A trusted thinking partner for founders, CEOs and leadership teams navigating growth, change and high-stakes decisions. Practical, commercial and honest, with a steady eye on the people doing the leading.
“The balance between deep thinking on strategy and a pragmatic approach is something you rarely see. … I highly recommend you talk to Miriam if you are focused on results.”
I help CEOs, founders and leadership teams make better decisions when growth, change or complexity has made the next move unclear.
Every business hits points where the answer is not more activity. It is more clarity.
That is the work. Stepping back, seeing the whole picture, and deciding what actually matters now, so the business and the people leading it can move with confidence.
Leaders usually come to me when:
It rarely starts with a crisis. More often it is a quiet sense that the next move is not yet clear.
- the business is growing, but the direction feels blurred
- the founder or CEO is carrying too much alone
- the leadership team needs clearer roles, decisions and accountability
- there are too many priorities and not enough focus
- AI, change or growth is creating noise rather than progress
- the next stage of the business needs a more mature rhythm
Leaders carrying real weight, at the moments that count.
Founders and CEOs of growing businesses
Typically founder-led or privately owned businesses with growing teams, increasing complexity and decisions that now carry more weight.
Leadership teams navigating change
Teams holding the business together through transition, who need clear thinking and honest challenge.
Owners preparing for the next stage
Owners getting the business and themselves ready for what comes next, on their own terms.
Three core ways to work together, matched to where you are now.
CEO and Board Advisory
For founders, CEOs and boards who need independent challenge on sensitive or high-stakes decisions.
You get clearer thinking, better decisions and trusted support at the top.

This work is a good fit if you are:
Honest, practical and direct. The best results come when the fit is right on both sides.
- leading an established business, not just starting out
- ready to be challenged as well as supported
- serious about making decisions, not just discussing ideas
- willing to look honestly at the business, the team and your own role
- looking for practical commercial support, not a generic programme
An independent voice in the room. No politics, no agenda, no internal positioning, just honest outside perspective, focused on the best outcome for you and the business.
A trusted place to test whether the path you are on is the right one.
