Consulting Philosophy

My approach to consulting developed through a combination of professional experience and sustained engagement with research. Its foundations were formed during my work in London with a leading law firm, where, although I was not practising as a lawyer, I worked in a supporting capacity and had the opportunity to interact closely with senior lawyers and their clients. Exposure to high-level professional practice, complex client relationships and demanding strategic environments was an invaluable education in how organisations make decisions, manage risk and navigate uncertainty.

One of my most formative experiences as a junior research consultant came through my work with the London branch of CzechTourism. This introduced me to another dimension of strategic engagement: the intersection of research, international diplomacy and the promotion of national interests abroad. Working in this environment gave me first-hand insight into how public institutions operate internationally, how relationships are developed across different political and cultural contexts, and how research and strategic communication can support broader diplomatic and institutional objectives.

I have since combined these practical experiences with sustained engagement with research from scholars whose work has influenced how I think about organisations, strategy, leadership and professional practice. Among them are Professors Laura Empson, Jennifer Howard-Grenville, Michael Sandel, Scott D. Anthony and Ranjay Gulati, alongside other scholars whose research I have found particularly valuable. Their work represents the kind of scholarship I seek to engage with: research that moves beyond abstract theory and offers ideas capable of changing how we understand organisations, institutions and strategic action.

Consequently, I seek to combine practical experience, academic research and independent analytical judgement, drawing on relevant research where it can provide a deeper understanding of a client's particular context. The aim is to develop thoughtful, evidence-informed approaches that are intellectually rigorous, practically relevant and responsive to the realities of each organisation.
