“I had the pleasure of working with Chris for nearly 4 years. He’s a natural commercial leader and I found my weekly catch ups invaluable. Through sharing ideas, and insightful questions, I often came with an issue needing solving and left with a plan that then fed into the larger strategic direction. Chris’s skill is managing to do this with simple compelling language, empathy and humour.”
"Chris is a pleasure to work with. He operates with the perfect blend of technical and interpersonal skills. I've known Chis for just under 10 years as our businesses have supported each other. I'd highly recommend working with Chris in any capacity."
“Chris has a wealth of experience and knows how to lead a successful business through its many challenges culminating in a successful exit. He would bring valuable knowledge to a business in need of a fresh perspective.”
"Chris is a well rounded business professional with both operational and commercial experience. He is entrepreneurial, communicates well and has excellent attention to detail. I have seen the results first hand of his strategic thinking and team development skills. For many SME owners Chris would make a great coach and mentor."
Chris Hansen - Pivotal Founder
With 25 years’ experience owning and scaling B2B businesses, from growth to 100 staff, through to a successful sale and exit, I can help you understand and develop what you want for yourself and your business.
As a business owner, it is critical you are happy with where you are now and where you are heading.
However, it's easy to lose sight of this in the noise of daily demands.
I would encourage you to change that now. Get in touch for a free consultation to discuss how my experience might help you achieve a clear route to the business you really want.

Experience is everything
I offer 25 years of lived experience to help businesses achieve their goals. You can't really know something until you've experienced it. So, if you don’t have that experience, borrow someone else’s until you do.

Leaders deserve our support
Business leadership is incredibly hard and all too often harshly judged. I believe in supporting leaders and understanding their challenges so I can help them. Hard truths should only ever be delivered to build up, not simply to criticise.
-
Nothing happens by itself
Everything that happens is caused by someone taking action. Know what you want, or think you want, then plan to achieve it. Check in periodically and adjust to make sure you are on track.

Business is a power for good
Business is one of the foundations of our society. When done correctly, it empowers, provides opportunity, freedom, friendships and security. You should be enjoying your business, your staff should be enjoying working for it and your customers should enjoy using it.
