Andy Jackson presenting to a board

An independent mind at your board table.

I've sat where you sit — building, scaling and steering businesses through the moments that matter. As your NED I bring challenge, governance and a network that opens doors.

Not a passive observer for the minutes: a proactive, solution-driven director committed to adding tangible value.

Common questions

What's the difference between a NED and a consultant?

A NED isn't there to manage the day-to-day — it's an independent mind on your board that challenges, supports and holds leadership to account, with skin in your long-term success.

When's the right time to appoint a NED?

Before the storm — when you're scaling fast, preparing for investment, entering new markets or feeling growing pains. Most founders wait too long.

Do you take equity or fees?

These packages are fixed monthly fees. Equity-based arrangements can be discussed for the right long-term fit.
