Industry experts bring the
angles a single team would miss.

Why they are here
Brought in for what they have actually done.
Two equally capable teams, given the same problem and the same data, will often reach different conclusions. So we don’t rely on one view. Alongside our consultants we work with experts who have run the thing a client is asking about: a technology chief executive, a chess grandmaster, an economist, a board-level coach. They join the engagement itself, not a credentials page.
They test the idea, argue with our conclusions and challenge each other. When their answers converge, you can commit with confidence. When they diverge, you know exactly which assumptions you are betting on.
The differences between their views are where the real insight lives.
Some of the experts
The experts.
Each of them works with us on live engagements and writes much of what we publish, including our “Really?” series. What follows is how they describe their own work, in their own words rather than ours.
Jason Hutt
Collateral Management“The hard part of any market is not calling it. It is deciding in advance what you will do on the day you turn out to be wrong.”
Dr. Colin Lawrence
Risk and Governance“My economics training at the University of Chicago shaped the way I analyse markets and risk: with clarity, discipline, and purpose. Three decades later, I help businesses and executives apply that same precision to build stronger governance, smarter decisions, and sustainable growth.”
Mathias Bourgue
Performance“Years on the ATP Tour taught me that performance is built long before the match: in preparation, in routine, and in how you respond to the point you have just lost. I help teams bring that same discipline to delivery, so the plan still holds when the pressure arrives.”
Sebastien Maze
Strategy“A chess grandmaster must anticipate countless future possibilities and build them directly into strategy and execution.”
Dr. Tony Kirby
Asset Management“Sustainable finance is transforming the asset management ecosystem. My work examines how regulation realigns incentives across the entire value chain.”
Johan De Mulder
Organisational Coach“With decades at the board table and EMCC-accredited coaching expertise, I help leaders cut through noise, confront what truly drives their behaviour, and unlock the authentic leadership needed for extraordinary performance.”
