“Ken has been an essential part of my group of business advisors for over a year now. I initially hired Ken in a corporate advisory capacity to assist with equity capital raising and I am also now using him in a more traditional business advisory role. In each role, Ken has provided high level advice which has been accurate and detailed. He always challenges me to think further and deeper about my business and his recommendations, guidance and advice have always impressed me and often far exceed my expectations. I am a detailed business person and expect a high level of output from everyone. I highly recommend Ken and this really says a lot about his service. I know that he can help a wide range of businesses achieve their goals.” (Aaron Upcroft – CEO More Group)
Ken is quick to pick up the situation, drives you hard to create the results required & most importantly is a good bloke whilst doing it. His mentality is very much about results achieved and value provided and he’s now very much considered both a friend as well as business associate (John Guest – General Manager – The Farm Digital)

Ken led the business planning process – where the major outcome was the establishment of our company. He covered all areas from the initial planning through to company establishment, detailed budgeting, management reporting, marketing and now works with us to make sure we stay on track. I have personally benefitted from his mentorship and would not hesitate to recommend him.” (Brenton Tong – Head of Strategy Financial Spectrum)
Ken has a number of strengths. These include (but are certainly not limited to): an ability to see the big picture and the detail simultaneously; understand how systems work (and why they aren’t working), and to lead those in a financial pickle through their difficulties.
He also has some amazing stories and is great to work with. (Sarah Hyden – CEO Giraffe Group)
