Ask AltoWORK WITH MARK
Bring me the decision, not the presentation.
The useful conversation usually begins where the polished version ends.
I work with founders, boards and senior leaders who are building, growing, stuck, turning something around or facing a decision that has become difficult to see from inside the business.
The work
NON-EXECUTIVE BOARD ADVISER
For founders, boards and leadership teams that need experienced judgement around brand, international growth, retail, distribution, governance, restructuring or a difficult commercial decision.
FOUNDER AND LEADERSHIP MENTORSHIP
Direct, private conversations for founders and senior leaders who want somebody experienced enough to challenge their thinking without trying to run the business for them.
BRAND AND INTERNATIONAL GROWTH
For businesses entering new markets, testing how far the brand can travel or discovering that what worked at home does not simply repeat somewhere else.
LEADERSHIP ALIGNMENT AND TURNAROUND
For moments when the business has changed faster than the way its leaders are working together.
COMMERCIAL PARTNERSHIPS
For founders and businesses weighing a partner, route to market, investment or opportunity that looks attractive but changes more than the headline suggests.
SPEAKING AND EVENTS
Keynotes, leadership conversations, book events and private rooms built around the question the audience is actually carrying.

I do not take on every enquiry and I will not force a generic consulting package onto a problem that needs something else. If I am not the right person, I will say so.
What are you trying to work out?
Say what is happening, what you think the decision is and why it has become difficult. You do not need to make it sound impressive.
