Independent Strategic Partner | Superyacht Industry
When you need someone alongside you.
Independent enough to see differently.
Experienced enough to understand your world.
Able to look beyond the question on the table.
When I can be useful
01
YOU NEED AN INDEPENDANT PERSPECTIVE
You may be close to a situation, weighing different interests or want to test your thinking before making a decision.
Having someone outside the situation can help you challenge assumptions, consider different perspectives and see what you may be missing.
02
YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON
Something does not quite add up. You are hearing different versions of the story, a collaboration is not working as expected or you sense there is more going on than you are hearing.
As someone outside the hierarchy, I can speak with the people involved, hear different perspectives and help build a clearer picture of what is happening — including what may not be said directly.
03
SOMETHING NEEDS TO MOVE
A priority, project or situation needs attention, but you may not have the time or headspace to keep driving it yourself.
I can step in, get up to speed quickly, speak with the people involved, bring different perspectives together and help move things forward.
The question on the table is not always the real question.
A communication issue may be about trust.
A difficult relationship may involve assumptions that have never been spoken.
What looks like an organisational issue may have a very human dynamic underneath it.
And sometimes, your own leadership is part of the question.
Inside the industry.
Alongside leadership.
More than a decade working closely alongside senior leaders at world-leading superyacht shipyards has given me an inside view of how this industry works — beyond job titles and organisational charts.
I know its pace, expectations, discretion, relationships and competing interests. My background in Applied Psychology adds another perspective: understanding the people, behaviour and dynamics behind a question and considering what may help.
That combination shapes how I work today as an Independent Strategic Partner: helping leaders understand what is happening, decide what needs their attention and, when needed, step in to help move things forward.
Diana challenges my thinking.
That can be confronting sometimes but it is exactly what I need to gain a broader perspective and make better decisions.
