Helping founders, owners, and investors make high-consequence business decisions.
Nathan Aherne
Transformation · Private Advisor
For more than twenty-five years I have redesigned businesses, institutions, and industries — mining, professional sport, technology, manufacturing, tourism, finance.
Some of those businesses became billion-dollar companies.
Some were built where there was no playbook.
Some pioneered models years before the market had a name for them.
Every engagement taught me something about judgement.

My work is often confidential. Where clients have given permission, I’ve included a selection of their reflections. Other engagements remain private.
If something is going wrong in one of our businesses, Nathan is the last person I call. If he can’t solve it, no one can.
Over the years I’ve worked with thousands of consultants, coaches and advisors. Nathan is one of only three people I’ve seen consistently produce exceptional results.
I hired Nathan because I wanted to build a successful business. What gives me confidence is knowing that when things become difficult, he’s able to solve problems that very few people can.
Working with Nathan, it’s like he can see around corners.
Nathan is the smartest guy I have ever met.
The people I work with don’t hire me because they need more information. They hire me because they need better judgement when the consequences of a decision are significant.
