Tier-1 banking experience. An unorthodox approach. Built for complex organisations where conventional advice has already failed.
Southpaw Strategy is a specialist advisory firm for senior leaders whose transformation programmes have stalled. We don't diagnose and depart — we get into the work and get things moving.
Our approach combines Tier-1 banking experience with deliberately unorthodox methods for governance, delivery, and executive decision-making. We operate where complexity is highest and the margin for failure is lowest.
Small team. Senior presence. No templates. We exit when things are working.

Governance that enables rather than obstructs. We design decision frameworks, escalation structures, and operating models that give complex programmes a fighting chance.
A trusted advisor for CXOs navigating high-stakes transformation. Confidential, direct, and pressure-tested. The conversation you can't have with your team or your board.
We move fast to understand what's actually stalled — not what's reported as stalled. Interviews, documentation, and honest conversation with the people closest to the work.
We apply pressure-tested methods that break from the standard playbook — because standard playbooks are usually how programmes got stuck in the first place.
We don't hand over a report. We work alongside your team until traction is real and self-sustaining — then we step back.
A short, confidential conversation is the right place to start. No sales process. No deck.
