Private Advisory Counsel. Direct Experience.

Private advisory counsel,
by design.

Leadership International provides private, independent advisory counsel to accomplished individuals, entrepreneurs, business owners, investors and selected leaders facing consequential decisions. Through personalized business, professional and personal guidance, it offers an experienced perspective, practical insight and a trusted sounding board — never delegated to an account team.

Direct counsel. No delegation.
The Covenant

A relationship, not a transaction.

Valuable counsel requires experience, trust, discretion and time. A deliberately limited number of engagements ensures every client receives the attention and personal involvement the relationship deserves.

The Mechanics

A deliberately limited practice.

  • Full Engagement

    A small number of active advisory relationships keeps the work personal, focused and carefully considered.

  • Direct Access

    You work directly with the principal — an independent private adviser. There is no account team, junior associate or delegated delivery.

  • Absolute Discretion

    Scope, duration and professional fees are agreed in advance, with discretion respected throughout the relationship.

A Private Partnership

Engagements begin with a conversation, not a proposal.

Leadership International maintains a deliberately small number of advisory relationships. Each begins with a private conversation to establish mutual fit, clarify expectations and agree the scope before any engagement begins.

The Engagement Model

Independent counsel for consequential decisions.

Leadership International provides a confidential setting to examine important questions, challenge assumptions, consider alternatives and draw on direct experience building and leading businesses. The work is shaped around the individual's circumstances and priorities, offering an independent perspective on decisions with significant personal or commercial consequences. Every engagement is direct, personal and never delegated to a junior team.

The Principal

Twenty-five years before the first client.

Leadership International was founded in 2014, following years of building and leading businesses. As a co-founder of multiple companies with a combined value of approximately $2 billion, I developed a practical perspective shaped by entrepreneurship, responsibility and consequential decision-making. That experience — more than 20 years of professional work and 15 years advising, coaching and consulting — informs the counsel I provide today: direct, independent and grounded in the realities of building businesses.

The Calendar

A calendar built for thoughtful counsel.

Leadership International maintains a deliberately small number of active advisory relationships. Each client works directly with the principal and receives focused attention, without delegation to associates or junior teams.

Capacity is limited by design, allowing each relationship to remain personal, confidential and focused.

Direct counsel. Deliberately limited.
Intellectual Peerage

No standardized programmes.

Some decisions benefit from a trusted confidant and a perspective beyond the existing circle of colleagues, advisers and professional relationships. The work is informed by direct experience building and leading businesses, rather than a pre-built framework applied without regard to the individual.

The nature of the discussions is determined by the client's circumstances and priorities — business strategy, professional direction, or personal decisions. There are no standardized programmes or predetermined answers, only discreet, independent counsel shaped around the individual and the decisions at hand.

Private Advisory Engagements

A significant commitment.

Engagements are individually structured and typically extend over six months. Fees begin at $100,000, reflecting the personal nature of the relationship and the level of direct involvement.

Capacity is strictly limited. Every engagement begins with a private discussion to establish mutual fit, clarify expectations and determine whether the relationship is appropriate for both parties. Scope, duration and fees are agreed before work begins.

Private Counsel for Important Decisions

Begin with a private conversation.

I work with a limited number of accomplished individuals, entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders who value an independent, experienced perspective. Enquiries are reviewed personally. An initial conversation helps establish mutual fit; submitting an enquiry does not guarantee acceptance or create an obligation to proceed.

Personal attention, by design.

Leadership International maintains a deliberately small number of active advisory relationships. Every engagement receives the principal's direct attention, without delegation to associates or junior teams.

  • Absolute Discretion

    Nothing about your engagement is published, referenced, or shared — during the work or after it.

  • Direct Counsel

    You are never handed off. The person you speak with today is the person who does the work.

  • One Mandate

    Capacity is limited by design, keeping each relationship personal, confidential and focused.

Secure Intake

A direct line.

All inquiries are reviewed personally. If there appears to be a potential fit, you will receive a direct reply to discuss a confidential first conversation.

Your enquiry is reviewed personally and handled discreetly.
