In today’s capital-scarce environment, Scaling means more than just growing headcount.
You need to reach your next stage of growth with limited hiring.
That means building an organisation with consistently high levels of alignment, collaboration, productivity and accountability.
We’ve helped over 80 scale-ups to scale successfully, including 14 unicorns and decacorns.
We help you build the six key pillars of a high-performance scalable organisation.
Highly aligned top team
Culture of Accountability
Silo-Free Collaboration
Scalable execution teams
Real-time organisational Intelligence

Joel Bar-El
Founder & Executive Chairman
TRAX Retail
I used Rob as an executive coach during a hyper-growth phase at Trax, when challenges were coming hard and fast as we scaled in the number of employees, customers and revenues. Rob was a fantastic coach both to me and my full executive leadership team. During the time we worked with him. Trax grew from a small team of about 100 to over 1,000 people around the world with customers in over 80 countries. Rob played a critical role helping me to mature my leadership and managerial skills to the changing needs of the business. He also had a profound impact on our leadership team dynamics and culture.
Alex Wright
CEO, We Are Friday
James had the most profound impact on us individually and on the team - helping us create genuine and authentic alignment and clarity, which paved the way to us achieving some previously elusive strategic objectives. He is way beyond the others - in content, substance, heart 'n' soul and engagement style.
Bill Cook
Executive Advisor & BOD member at Yugabyte
Bill has been a great asset to our leadership team at Pivotal and now at Yugabyte. He provides great coaching with personal customization, given the specific team and personnel dynamics. He blends industry, academics, and best practices to the needs of the team.
Brad Jones
CEO, Wave Money
Rob is an outstanding coach and mentor to high growth start-ups. Rob has the ability to deeply understand people, the dynamics of the culture, and the inter-operating relationships within the entity. His thorough and empathetic approach allows him to diagnose cultural challenges to scaling business, and to rapidly improve the operating rhythm of the leadership team. I would say without a doubt that the work we did with Rob made us more resilient to challenges, more effective as a team in multiple crises, and more able to work with empathy and respect for each other.
Paul Hadjy
Founder & CEO, Horangi
I have worked with Rob for years to help me become a better executive, while coaching me through the ups and downs of entrepreneur life. For Horangi he spent time helping us build our culture and becoming a much better company and business. Through many coaching sessions for me, the other founders, as well as our executive team we all grew and became better in our roles. I highly recommend working with Rob if you are building a business or expanding your knowledge as a founder!
Bruce Forgrieve
Founder, Entrepreneur and NGO Leader
As a founder and CEO of both for-profit and non-profit organisations, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bill to develop organisational strategies. Bill brings not only unique processes and tools but also a remarkable ability to discern what’s left unsaid in a room. His skill in uncovering these unspoken dynamics and guiding teams to stay focused while navigating multiple possibilities is truly exceptional.
Joe Militello
CHRO, Advisor
Bill provided exceptional coaching and consulting to our top leaders, earning their respect with his practical, actionable advice and ability to adapt to our unique needs. His deep commitment to delivering measurable business value made a lasting impact on both individual leaders and our organization as a whole.
Chang Wen Lai
Founder & CEO, Ninjavan
As a fellow CEO who has witnessed the profound impact of Rob's mentorship, Rob has been an invaluable support to our business over many years. We have grown our organization more than 10x since across 7 countries. It would have been a much tougher struggle without Rob. His coaching has been invaluable as we scaled.
Mike Danson
MD, Natilik
James has played a pivotal part in the development of our leadership team over the past 10 years, during which time the business has grown to be 10 times the size it was when we first engaged. He cares deeply about his work and the outcomes it should drive and pours huge energy and insight into each engagement. I would highly recommend working with James if you and your leader leadership team want to grow and develop!
David Chmelar
Group CEO, Heureka Group
Rob is a top class coach, mentor and friend. Rob helped me realize that both me and the organization I was running would be better served if I step down as a CEO and transition that role to another exec. Someone who supports you through that process and helps you ensure all stakeholders buys in and are excited about the change. Rob is of that caliber. Working with him was extraordinary.
Ferry Unardi
Founder & CEO, Traveloka
Rob's work with myself and our top team had a huge impact on our ability to build a scalable organization as we grew from 200 to 2,000 people. It also profoundly changed the way I think about my job.
James Sandbrook
Co-founder, The Marketing MeetUp
James did something no-one else has ever managed to do before. He gently coaxed out who I am in order to help me understand and fully appreciate the value I can bring to situations. What I had seen as weaknesses, he helped me reframe to show the value those characteristics can have in my business. This has led to me working more effectively with my co-founder and has encouraged me to double down on my unique abilities. As a result, I feel more excited and clear on how we can grow the company. I only wish I'd known James in my early 20's, who knows where I would be now!
