About

Rich works alongside business owners - particularly in family enterprises - at the point where succession, ownership or long-term transition starts to matter.

He brings more than 30 years of lived experience across ownership, strategy and advisory work:

  • Building and exiting his own company, selling to a Fortune 500 business
  • Living and working inside a multi-generation family enterprise
  • Advising more than 150 owners and leadership teams across New Zealand

Most owners Rich works with aren't planning to sell tomorrow. They're working out how to reduce their own dependency on the business, get clearer on governance, and build something that retains its value - with or without a transaction on the horizon.

He doesn't step into management's seat. He helps owners think more clearly, make better decisions, and strengthen what they've built for the long term.

That often starts with an honest conversation about where the business actually is - and where it needs to go.
