Adrian Kingsford

Hi, I’m Adrian, Chief Sidekick to technically-led Founder CEOs who are scaling-up!

Every business eventually faces challenges with People, Process, and Technology.

As a technically-led CEO, your strength lies in the Technical domain, but when it comes to People and Process, you might find these areas less engaging or outside your expertise.

 

That's where I come in. 

 

With a wealth of experience building and leading teams across all three domains, I bring a balanced, holistic approach tailored to your unique needs.

Our collaboration will be a generative, strategic and trusted partnership, blending coaching, mentoring, consulting, and advising.

 

Together, we’ll sharpen your leadership, foster the right mindset, set a clear course for growth, and align your team to achieve transformational goals and achieve organisational health.

 

If you're ready to explore this comprehensive approach to leadership and success ... let’s talk!​
