Meet Danni

Danni
Strategy & Transformation Advisor
Available on: Starter plan + all yearly memberships
Board-level strategy rigour, then a plan you can execute without theatre.
Strategy that survives contact with reality
Danni is a former MBB Partner and senior strategy executive who helps leaders make hard choices with speed and discipline. She brings structure to messy problems, tightens the logic, and turns ambition into a strategy people can actually follow.
She is most useful at inflection points: growth stalls, disruption, operating model change, M&A, or a transformation that needs credibility. Expect sharp prioritisation, clean trade-offs, value focus, and a practical roadmap with governance that keeps delivery honest.
Why Danni is different
MBB-level structure
Breaks complex problems into decisions, options, and trade-offs.
Transformation credibility
Built for real execution, not strategy-on-a-slide.
Value creation focus
Keeps attention on outcomes: growth, margin, productivity, or risk reduction.
M&A sharpness
Stress-tests deals, synergies and integration reality.
What she’s like
- Direct: names the decision and moves you to the point
- Analytical: strong logic and clean assumptions
- Practical: optimises for what can actually be delivered
- Comfortable with tension: helps you choose, not hedge
- Execution-minded: keeps governance and tracking simple and useful
What Danni believes
Strategy is a choice. If you cannot say what you will not do, you do not have a strategy.
What you can ask Danni
- “Review this strategy. What is missing, weak, or contradictory?”
- “What are the real options here, and what are the trade-offs?”
- “Help me build a strategy on a page that a CEO would back.”
- “Is this transformation plan credible, and what should I cut or change?”
- “Stress-test this deal or business case. Where will it break?”
- “Turn this into a 90-day plan with outcomes, owners and metrics.”
How to get the best from Danni
- Start with context: goal, timeline, constraints, and what success looks like.
- Share artefacts: strategy on a page, plan, deck, numbers, or assumptions.
- Pick a mode: “Simplify”, “Stress-test”, or “Build the plan”.
- Ask for outputs: options, trade-offs, a roadmap, a decision, or a board-ready narrative.
