Boutique Strategy & Transformation Advisory
We partner with boards, executives and investors at the point of inflection — led by a principal who has owned the P&L, run global operations and delivered transformation from the inside.
VancouverLondonDubaiSingapore
A career spent owning P&Ls, leading global supply chains and advising boards — in PE-backed and multinational environments.
Business reviews, operating roles and engagements delivered across six continents — based in Vancouver, London, Boston and Singapore along the way.
Every engagement is led personally — no leverage model, no hand-offs, no junior benches.
Services
Four disciplines, one standard: rigorous thinking, candid counsel and outcomes that endure beyond the engagement.
Corporate and growth strategy, market entry and competitive positioning — built on primary intelligence, from competitor teardowns to supply market studies.
Operating model design, cost and margin improvement, and manufacturing footprint decisions — pragmatic interventions that show up in the P&L.
Enterprise-wide change programmes, turnarounds and post-merger integration — designed for momentum, governed for delivery.
Trusted counsel to founders, executives and boards — and a steady hand in the seat when you need one, not just a report.
Industries
We go deepest where we have operated first-hand — and bring disciplines that travel to any sector.
Utilities, data centres and electrical infrastructure — field services operations, asset strategy and the talent, safety and delivery models behind critical power. Built on first-hand experience running utility-embedded field operations.
Software, connected products and digital platforms — go-to-market strategy, pricing discipline and the operating rigour to scale revenue without scaling chaos.
Footprint strategy, electronics supply chains and the make-vs-buy calls that decide unit economics — from plant-level cost programmes and competitor teardowns to multi-region rationalisation across billions in COGS.
Supporting funds and portfolio companies across the deal cycle — commercial diligence, 100-day plans and value-creation programmes, informed by operating inside PE-backed governance and reporting to investors weekly.
Helping founders build the company around the product — operating models, pricing, go-to-market focus and the financial foundations to grow from first traction to institutional readiness.
Big-company rigour, right-sized — margin improvement, pricing, growth and succession planning for owner-led businesses that want senior counsel without the big-firm machinery.
Sector depth, not sector limits — pricing, operations, transformation and governance are disciplines that travel wherever the decision is consequential.
Track Record
Results delivered by our principal across operating and advisory roles. Organisations are described, not named — the numbers speak for themselves.
Energy & Infrastructure · Turnaround
Took P&L ownership of a $12M+ electrical field services operation at a private equity-backed industrial services company — restructured the labour model, replacing high-cost contractors with a directly hired technical workforce, and secured a five-year utility master service agreement.
Sales & Channel · Growth Strategy
Designed and led a growth strategy for the electrical contractor channel of a $1.6B go-to-market organisation — mapping wallet share across 70,000 contractors, exposing zero-coverage accounts and realigning field sales around them.
Manufacturing · Footprint Strategy
Led multi-year manufacturing footprint strategy for a global electrical products division — plant dedication, make-vs-buy and regional sourcing across the Americas, EMEA and APAC, including €9M in savings from structured competitor teardowns.
How We Work
Every engagement is shaped around the decision at hand — but most begin in one of four ways. All of them are led personally, end to end.
Two to four weeks to get to the truth of a situation — margin leakage, growth stall, operational drag — and a clear, prioritised path forward. Often the start of a larger engagement; always valuable on its own.
Three to twelve months alongside your team, designing and delivering the change — operating model, footprint, pricing, turnaround — with governance built for momentum, not meetings.
A senior operator in the seat when you need one — interim VP or executive roles, or a fractional strategy and operations leader for businesses not yet ready for the full-time hire.
A standing relationship with founders, boards and investors — monthly counsel, deal support, 100-day plans and an experienced second opinion before the decisions that matter.
Every engagement begins the same way: a conversation, a candid view on whether we’re the right fit, and a scope defined in your outcomes — not our hours.
Insights
Perspectives from the front line of strategy and transformation — written for decision-makers, not for the archive.
Operations
Outsourced labour looks flexible until you price the quality, reliability and rework. The case for owning your workforce — with the numbers to prove it.
Full perspective — publishing soonStrategy
Reverse engineering a rival’s product reveals more than its bill of materials — it exposes their factory economics, sourcing choices and where you can win.
Full perspective — publishing soonPricing
Value-based pricing on low- and mid-volume products routinely lifts margins by double digits — and almost nobody does the work to capture it.
Full perspective — publishing soonWho We Are
Inflection Partners was founded on a simple belief: the most consequential decisions deserve someone who has made them before — not a leverage model. We are deliberately small, deliberately selective and personally accountable for every outcome we put our name to.
Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, we work globally — operating out of hubs in London, Dubai and Singapore, with active client work spanning North America, Europe and the Middle East. We bring the rigour of the world’s leading consultancies with something most of them can’t: a principal who has owned the P&L, run the operations and answered to the board.
You work with the principal — on every engagement, at every meeting.
Our only interest is your outcome. We have nothing else to sell.
We define success in your numbers, and we stay until it shows up in them.
A footprint built in the field, not from a head office — business reviews, operating roles and engagements across 40+ countries on six continents.
Founder & Principal

He has lived and led in Vancouver, London, Boston and Singapore.
