Partnership built on proven leadership
​
We are seasoned executives who have led from the front — steering organisations through transformation, crisis, and growth. Between us, we have delivered multi-billion-pound programmes, turned underperforming operations into market leaders, won and delivered multi-million-pound programmes, and protected reputations under the most intense scrutiny.

Strategic Growth
and Resilience
Lou is an accomplished strategic leader with over 25 years' experience driving transformation across defence, consulting, and cybersecurity sectors. After 17 years as an Army officer commanding a 1,000-strong supply chain unit and pioneering initiatives in resource-based accounting and market testing, he transitioned into Big Four consulting with Ernst and Young/Capgemini, where he helped scale the Aerospace business from £5m to over £50m turnover in just 24 months. He later joined CSC as Director for Intelligence, where he transformed a struggling 100-person technical team into a high-performing 400-strong operation delivering 30-40% year-on-year growth, securing a £200m contract extension despite challenging circumstances. Lou then became Managing Director of Stratia Cyber, an NCSC-accredited cyber resilience business, where he provided direction and discipline to a faltering operation, built connected supplier ecosystems, and grew turnover by 250% over six years whilst navigating COVID disruption. A people-focused, innovation-driven leader with deep expertise in simplifying complexity, he blends military strategic thinking with entrepreneurial execution to deliver practical solutions that work both in the real world and in the court of public opinion.
