Brendon helps accomplished leaders and leadership teams create clarity and movement at consequential moments: forming strategy for a different future or stepping into greater responsibility.

A former chair and CEO of multi-award-winning SenateSHJ and now a consulting partner to the firm, Brendon understands senior leadership from the inside. He has carried responsibility for strategy, culture, people, clients, change and commercial performance, and knows what it feels like to make difficult decisions when the answers are incomplete and the consequences are real.

His coaching and advisory work combines three perspectives rarely found in one person: the lived experience of a chief executive and chair; the strategic discipline of an experienced adviser; and the curiosity, challenge and skilled conversation of a professionally trained coach.

Brendon has supported CEOs, CFOs, CSOs, CPOs, CCOs, partners and barristers across significant organisations in New Zealand and Australia. For five years he taught Strategy Essentials for the New Zealand Institute of Directors.

Clients describe his approach as personalised, candid, non-judgemental and grounded in the real world. They value his ability to cut through the noise, see what is really going on and turn a good conversation into clearer thinking and purposeful action.
