Three decades of cross-industry leadership experience makes Marianne the advisor owners reach for when the business has grown beyond instinct, and the next move depends on getting strategy, brand, people, and execution properly aligned.
What this means for you
You get the calm authority of someone who has seen this season of business growth many times — and who knows that the answer is rarely a single big idea, but the careful alignment of several things at once. Marianne brings the patience to find the right sequence and the rigour to make sure nothing important is left on the table.
Where their juidgement was earned
- Thirty years of cross-industry leadership experience — enabling the ability to recognise the underlying patterns in your business, broad enough to bring fresh perspective from sectors yours can learn from.
- Founded and ran M Mentis & Co, a consultancy advising SMEs on positioning, marketing strategy, improvement plans, and practical business development.
- Served on advisory boards guiding business direction and performance — used to operating at the level where decisions are actually made, accountable for the result, not just the recommendation.
- A specialist in connecting brand, people, and product into a coherent strategy that delivers sustainable value — particularly for businesses where marketing, commercial, and operational decisions have drifted out of alignment.
Recognition
A track record across three decades of partnering with leaders to align strategy, build capability, and drive measurable, sustainable growth — work that has held up over time, which is the test that matters most.
How they work in the room
Marianne brings creativity, commercial acumen, and a people-first instinct to the work — the kind of advisor who lifts the energy of a leadership team while sharpening the discipline at the same time.
