Work with me

Sometimes the right next step is having the right person beside you.

I'm interested in conversations with healthcare owners and founders who are thinking seriously about succession, partnership, co-ownership or the next stage of growth.

I'm not looking to sit on the sidelines and give you a report. I'm most useful when I can understand the business, get involved and help build what comes next.

Every conversation starts confidentially, and most start with a coffee rather than a contract.

01

Succession

You've built something good and you're thinking about what happens next.

Situations I'm interested in
  • You want to step back in the next few years, but not hand the practice to just anyone
  • You're not sure whether you want a full exit, a gradual handover or a partner
  • You want the business to keep its standards and its people after you
What I bring

Someone who owns and runs clinics, can share or take on the operating load, and will look after what you've built.

02

Partnership and co-ownership

You want a partner who has run clinics, not just advised them.

Situations I'm interested in
  • You want to grow but don't want to carry every decision alone
  • You're open to bringing in a co-owner with operating experience
  • You want shared standards and skin in the game, not a consultant
What I bring

Hands-on operating experience across two very different practices, a calm approach to hard decisions, and a long-term view.

03

Growth and operating partnership

You're growing fast and the business has outgrown how it's run.

Situations I'm interested in
  • Everything still runs through you
  • Recruitment, rostering or capacity keeps breaking
  • You want someone in the business with you to build the next stage
What I bring

Someone who gets involved alongside you to build the systems, people and operating rhythm, because I've had to do it in my own clinics.

What I bring

An operator's view, not an adviser's.

  • Owning and operating healthcare businesses in very different markets.
  • Recruiting doctors and building teams people actually want to stay in.
  • Turning businesses that rely on individuals into businesses that rely on systems.
  • Improving capacity, revenue and profitability without losing sight of patient care.
  • Introducing technology and AI where it solves a real operational problem.
  • Building new services and revenue streams around existing healthcare businesses.
  • Patient experience, brand and culture treated as operating disciplines.
  • Staying calm and making decisions when things are messy.
How I think about partnership

Long-term, clear, and fair.

Good partnerships start with clarity: who owns what, who decides what, and what happens when you disagree.

I like alignment, but I value clarity even more. Good partners should be able to disagree without damaging the relationship or the business.

I'm interested in businesses that care about patients and people, and where the owner wants the standards to outlast them.

Confidentiality: what you share stays between us. I don't discuss anyone's business, terms or plans with anyone else.

Tell me a little about the business.

I read every message myself and reply within two business days.

Everything you share stays between us.
