How I Work
With more responsibility comes less time to think, speak freely, or be uncertain. I offer a discreet and trusted space to think clearly, work through complexity together, and make the decisions that lead to sharper action.
As a former intelligence officer, I’ve spent 15 years advising leaders in complex, high-pressure environments who need clarity under pressure and a calm, analytical approach when there’s little margin for error.
I’ve sinceworked as a trusted advisor to governments, family offices, and SLTs, offering fresh perspectives, sound judgement, and close support when it counts the most.
This is a type of partnership that helps you operate more clearly and confidently, and to focus on what matters.
What I Offer
-
Fortnightly 1-to-1 call, to help you think clearly and make stronger decisions.
-
Discreet Signal access between calls, for support when things shift.
-
A calm, confidential space to work through any issues.
-
Someone outside the system, with no agenda but yours.
-
Additional calls as needed, when timing or pressure demands more.
-
In-person support available for acute situations.

My Background
I spent ten years as a military intelligence officer, including two tours of Afghanistan and operational work across Europe and Africa.
Some of my roles included; intelligence advisor to senior commanders at the Ministry of Defence, Head of Intelligence for East Africa at the UK Armed Forces Command HQ, and Head of Operations at the British Army's Intelligence Centre.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve advised senior leaders across government, defence, family offices and the private sector, supporting critical decisions in high-pressure environments.
Due to my background, I naturally work with the upmost discretion, where trust and privacy are my top priority. After many years, it remains a pleasure to offer calm, strategic counsel to those in positions of influences and impact, when it’s needed most.
CEO, venture-backed startup
“Sometimes I feel tangled and a bit alone, especially at the top. Edward listens in a way that helps me hear myself more clearly, get some calm to find my direction, and see what actually matters.”
Chief of Staff, global family office
“Edward is the person I can speak to without posturing or worrying about my ‘performance’. I feel steadied after we’ve had our calls. They have changed the way I approach certain challenges.”
