Our Team
It is our team and their experience that makes a difference to the change and transformation projects we are involved with.
Each of us has had successful careers in a wide variety of leadership roles. We now choose to work together knowing our combined strength is greater than if we operated alone.
All in Teleios are pragmatists who have operated at the sharp end of organisations and in the messy world of mixed political motivation. We are being hired to make a difference and this is the fire we each carry. From this experience too, we write and publish books and articles, we join the academic debate helping some of our best business schools translate stunning research into usable insights and approaches.
