Where We Can Help

The right level of support,at the right time.

Every business needs something different. Sometimes it is an experienced perspective around the table. Sometimes it is a strategic project. Sometimes it is someone alongside the founder, helping to make the plan happen. Rowan & Co. provides flexible support across four core areas.

01Strategy

Strategic Advisory

Helping founders and leadership teams navigate growth, change and new opportunities with greater clarity.

This can include business strategy, positioning, market development, membership models, expansion, organisational planning and the decisions that sit between where a business is today and where it wants to go.

02Commercial

Growth & Partnerships

Building the relationships, partnerships and commercial opportunities that help businesses grow.

From partnership strategy and market activation to membership growth, commercial development and strategic introductions, Rowan & Co. helps turn relationships into meaningful opportunity.

03Operations

Fractional Leadership

For businesses that need experienced leadership and hands-on support without necessarily making a full-time appointment.

Rowan & Co. can work alongside founders and leadership teams as a fractional COO or senior strategic operator, helping translate strategy into the structures, processes, people and priorities required to deliver it.

04Governance

NED & Advisory Board

Independent perspective, experienced judgement and constructive challenge for founders, boards and leadership teams.

Lisa accepts a select number of Non-Executive Director and Advisory Board appointments where her experience can provide meaningful strategic and commercial value.

Selective Board Appointments

Independent perspective. Experienced judgement.

Alongside advisory and fractional engagements, Lisa accepts a select number of Non-Executive Director and Advisory Board appointments. Her experience across membership, hospitality, workspace, investor networks, partnerships and international business development allows her to bring a practical and commercially informed perspective to boards and leadership teams.

Appointments are considered selectively, where there is a strong alignment between Lisa’s experience and the organisation’s ambitions.

How We Work

Flexible support, shaped around what you need.

Rowan & Co. does not operate around a fixed consultancy model. Engagements are shaped around the business, the challenge and the level of support required, from a focused project through to an ongoing strategic or fractional leadership role.

01

Connect

We start with a conversation about the business, the opportunity and where experienced external support could add the most value.

02

Define

Together, we establish the focus of the engagement, whether that is strategic advisory, a defined project, partnership development, fractional leadership or board-level support.

03

Build

We work alongside you and your team to turn thinking into progress, bringing the right level of strategic input and practical involvement as the work develops.

Our Approach

Strategy is only valuable when it can be put into practice.

Rowan & Co. combines strategic thinking with hands-on operating experience. We understand that the best strategy can quickly lose momentum if the right people, processes, priorities and relationships are not in place to deliver it.

That is why our approach moves comfortably between the strategic and the practical, providing independent perspective when you need it, and getting involved when you need an experienced pair of hands. We work collaboratively and selectively, becoming a trusted extension of the leadership team rather than simply delivering recommendations from the outside.

Start a Conversation

Let’s talk about what’s next.

Rowan & Co. works with a select number of clients across retained advisory, fractional leadership and project-based engagements. If you’re building a relationship-led business, navigating a period of growth or looking for experienced support around strategy, partnerships, commercial development or operations, I’d be happy to start with a conversation.
