About

Trouver Consulting was established to bring practical leadership experience to founders navigating growth, complexity, and change.

I work with founders and leadership teams who are building, scaling, or re-engineering businesses — often at moments where clarity, structure, and disciplined execution matter most.

Experience

Over +25 years, I led and scaled high-performing recruitment, talent and tech enabled businesses across the UK and internationally.

This includes more than a decade leading the UK & Ireland’s largest recruitment organisation. I oversaw sustained growth, structural evolution and multi-market expansion.

I have built, scaled, restructured and acquired specialist businesses across:

Sectors:

  • Technology & Data

  • Pharmaceuticals

  • Engineering

  • Procurement

  • Executive Search

Delivery Models:

  • Embedded RPO teams

  • Complex contingent workforces

  • Retained search offerings

  • Digital enabled delivery

  • Traditional 360 & 180 setups

Sectors:

  • Finance & Accounting

  • Commercial & Saas

  • Healthcare & Education

  • Marketing

  • Banking

A founder’s perspective on growth

I work with founder’s at the moments that clarity, structure and execution matter most.

What I understand:

  • Equity risk

  • Capital allocation

  • Long-term value creation

What I help drive:

  • Challenge thinking

  • Bring clarity to decisions

  • Translate strategy into execution

Not just short-term thinking or short-term performance goals

My guiding principals.

I ask the difficult questions others avoid - to drive better decisions and stronger outcomes.

I develop leaders to think independently, act decisively and lead with clarity.

I bring practical experience from building and scaling businesses - not theory.

I operate with integrity, discretion and a long-term perspective on value.

Where I make the biggest impact.

Most of my work starts at moments like these:

  • Scaling challenges — adding brands, products, or geographies without weakening delivery, culture, or commercial discipline

  • Leadership gaps — hiring key leaders, strengthening management capability, or developing individuals who can step up with the business

  • Strategic drift — too many priorities, unclear focus, and not enough alignment around what drives growth

  • Execution issues — strategy agreed at the top, but not translating into consistency, accountability, and results on the ground

  • Operating model strain — legacy structures, unclear ownership, or a delivery model no longer suited to the next stage of growth

How we work together.

1. Define the problem

A short conversation to understand what’s working, what isn’t, and where things are getting stuck.

2. Decide what matters

We agree where I can add the most value — whether that’s structure, leadership, or execution.

Let's talk

3. Make it happen

I work directly with you and your team to bring clarity, challenge thinking, and ensure execution happens.

This is where most conversations begin.
