Independent Minds. Collective Brilliance.

Meaningful Work Consulting

We’re a trusted circle of senior executives, consultants and advisors - each with over 20 years of global experience as strategists, leaders, systems thinkers and changemakers - coming together to reimagine what consulting can be: more human, connected and impactful.

Not another firm. Not a loose network.
A collective built on trust, collaboration and shared purpose.

Together, we’re shaping a new way of working - one that’s grounded in independence, connection, and meaningful impact.

Why do we exist?

Independent work can be purposeful, flexible, and deeply rewarding.

It can also be lonely, uncertain and full of second-guessing.

We're changing that.

Who is this for?

You’re a senior professional with 20+ years of experience - in business, sustainability, international development or social impact.

You’ve mastered your craft and want to use it with more freedom, purpose and flexibility.

A community of peers who share your values
A platform to team up on meaningful projects
A trusted network to learn from, contribute to, and grow with

How does it work?

+

01 Relationships Create Better Results

02 Collaboration Elevates Excellence

The best consulting happens through trust, empathy, and connection, not transactions.

Partnership over process – Change happens when people align around shared purpose, not contracts
Listening before leading – We begin with curiosity, not certainty
Human first, always – We build relationships that endure beyond the work itself

03 Freedom with Belonging

We believe independence and community can coexist and that both are essential for meaningful work.

Independent by design – Each of us brings our own path, pace, and practice.
Connected by choice – We choose collaboration because shared purpose multiplies our reach.
Grounded in meaning – Our work is not just what we do - it’s how we grow, contribute, and make a difference.

What we believe

Excellence is amplified when experienced minds come together to learn, challenge, and create.

Many lenses, one vision – Diverse expertise leads to sharper insights and stronger outcomes.
Collective craft – We hold ourselves - and each other - to the highest standards of quality and integrity.
Better, together – Collaboration turns good work into meaningful impact
