Strategic thinking partner & business advisor
An experienced thinking partner for your next business decision
You may be developing an idea, navigating change, or working hard without seeing the progress you expect. Perhaps priorities are competing, an initiative has stalled, or you need an outside perspective before making a significant commitment.
I work with founders, entrepreneurs, and leadership teams to understand what is happening, explore the possibilities, and decide what deserves attention next.
My work connects business strategy, brand, communications, people, and delivery, helping you turn ideas and complex questions into clear priorities and practical action.
Why work with ko-creator?
I bring decades of experience building businesses, developing brands, creating partnerships, and delivering projects across music, culture, and creative industries.
I see connections across the business, ask questions that surface assumptions, and consider both the opportunity and what it will take to deliver.
Our work can help you:
Clarify direction: understand the decision, challenge, or opportunity in front of you.
Identify what is holding progress back: examine recurring friction, competing priorities, and gaps in responsibility or resources.
Develop ideas with commercial purpose: connect creative thinking with your audience, business model, and capacity.
Move from discussion to delivery: establish priorities, ownership, and manageable next steps.
My approach is candid, collaborative, and attentive to the people doing the work.
Ways we can work together
Individual advisory & entrepreneurial coaching
A thinking partnership for founders, business owners, and leaders who want space to examine decisions, develop ideas, or work through challenges.
We agree on the focus together and use each session to build understanding, consider options, and identify useful next steps.
Leadership & team sessions
Focused conversations to clarify priorities, address tension, improve communication, and strengthen accountability.
We explore how people work together, where expectations differ, and what agreements will help the team move forward. This may include conflict resolution, decision-making, roles, feedback, and follow-through.
Business Clarity
A whole-business strategic review for founders and leadership teams navigating growth, change, or recurring friction.
We examine how your offer, revenue, operations, people, communications, and technology connect. You leave with a written assessment, clear priorities, and a practical action plan.
Co-created with Adrian Scoffham and offered through Simple Is More.
Strategy & project delivery
For work that needs both direction and execution, I can help develop the brief, coordinate the right expertise, and oversee delivery.
We agree on the scope, responsibilities, budget, and capacity needed before work begins.

Strategic planning, business development, partnerships, opportunity assessment, research, and revenue-generating program design.

Working with your resources
Recommendations need to fit your business and the people who will carry them out.
I start with your existing strengths, skills, tools, and capacity. Where additional expertise would help, we identify the right support and agree how it will contribute.
The aim is to leave you and your team with clear direction and a workable way to deliver.
Let’s talk about what needs attention
Bring an idea, a decision, or a challenge you are working through. We can discuss where support would be useful and agree on an appropriate way to work together.
