About SALT
Services
Strategy is easy. Execution is where things break.
SALT partners with founders and leadership teams at inflection points. Things are moving, but not fast enough, not cleanly enough, or not holding together under pressure.
Some engagements are short and surgical. Others are embedded and long-term. All are designed to do the same thing: Turn intent into outcomes.
Where SALT typically operates:
SALT works across the areas where strategy and execution meet, including:
-
Operations and systems
-
Product and delivery
-
Go-to-market and early commercial strategy
-
Team structure and ways of working
-
Internal processes and decision-making
-
Commercial positioning and activation
-
From brand and narrative through to market-facing execution, including curated events and rapid proof-of-concept initiatives.
-
90 Day Sprint Execution
When something needs to move. FAST. And it’s not.
Most teams have lots of ideas but they lack alignment, prioritisation, and sustained follow-through.
The result:
-
Too many priorities
-
Slow decision-making
-
Work starting but not finishing
-
Momentum that never compounds
SALT steps in to change that.
This is a focused, high-intensity engagement designed to create visible, measurable progress within 90 days.
We don’t only define what should happen. We make it happen.
What this looks like in practice:
-
Clarifying the few priorities that actually matter
-
Aligning leadership on decisions and direction
-
Establishing execution cadence (weekly, monthly, cross-functional)
-
Driving delivery across teams
-
Unblocking stalled initiatives
-
Bringing structure to areas like product, operations, go-to-market, or internal processes
No two engagements look identical because no two businesses are.
However, outcomes look similar:
-
Things that were stuck start moving.
-
Things that were messy become clear.
-
Things that were planned get delivered.
Best suited to:
-
Businesses with a clear direction but poor execution
-
Teams overwhelmed by competing priorities
-
Critical initiatives that need momentum now

Operational Founder (Interim/Fractional COO)
When the business has outgrown how it’s being run.
This is where most growing companies hit friction:
-
The founder is stretched across everything
-
Teams are growing but not aligned
-
Decisions slow down or constantly revisited
-
Execution becomes inconsistent
Vision isn't the missing link. It's operational structure and leadership capacity.
SALT steps in as an interim or fractional COO, working alongside the founder to stabilise, structure, and scale the business.
What this includes:
-
Translating vision into operational plans
-
Building structure across teams and functions
-
Creating clarity in roles, ownership, and decision-making
-
Establishing systems that don’t rely on constant founder intervention
-
Supporting hiring, onboarding, and early team design
-
Bringing discipline to execution across product, operations, and go-to-market
This can also include stepping into areas like:
-
Marketing coordination
-
Brand direction
-
Early-stage commercial strategy
Always with the aim of making the business work as a system, not just solving problems in isolation.
The outcome:
A business that:
-
Runs with more clarity
-
Executes with more consistency
-
Scales without everything (or everyone) breaking
Best suited for:
-
When the founder IS the bottleneck
-
Leaders who are too often pulled out of their zone of genius
-
When growth outpaces structure
-
Businesses that are moving from MVP to repeatability
-
When capital is in place, and so is pressured delivery
-
When it is too soon for fulltime COO, but lack of senior leadership is palpable
Strategic Sounding Board
For leaders who need a space to think out loud, pressure-test decisions, and see things from angles they wouldn’t reach alone.
At a certain level, the challenge isn’t information. It’s:
-
Competing priorities
-
Unclear trade-offs
-
Decisions with real consequences
SALT acts as a trusted, embedded thought partner. Someone close enough to understand context, but independent enough to challenge it.
What this looks like in practice:
-
Pressure-testing decisions before they’re made
-
Cutting through noise to identify what actually matters
-
Bringing clarity to ambiguous or complex situations
-
Calling out what others won’t
-
Ensuring thinking translates into action
This is not passive advisory.
It’s active, engaged, and grounded in the reality of your business.
Best suited to:
-
Founders making high-stakes decisions
-
Senior leaders operating without strong peer challenge or support
-
Situations where clarity matters more than consensus
-
Founders carrying the full weight (and mental load) of every decision
1 Day Bright Eyes Intensive
A sharp reset when things feel scattered, stuck, or unclear.
Sometimes you don’t need a long engagement.
You need:
-
Clarity
-
Focus
-
Direction
Fast.
This is not a workshop. It’s a forced reset.
In a single day, we cut through noise, align on what matters, and leave you with a clear, structured plan for what happens next.
In a typical intensive, we:
-
Identify what actually matters (and what doesn’t)
-
Align on priorities and direction
-
Break down ambition into structured, executable steps
-
Define what happens next, by whom, on what deadline.
You leave with:
-
A focused execution plan
-
Clear priorities
-
Defined next steps
No fluff. No theory. No “nice workshop energy.” Just clarity you can act on immediately.
Best suited to:
-
Businesses juggling too many priorities, questioning what actually matters
-
Leadership teams that aren’t fully aligned, leading to slow or inconsistent execution
-
Situations where decisions are being revisited, delayed, or avoided
-
Companies that know something is off, but can’t yet articulate exactly what
For some, this is enough. For others, it becomes the starting point for deeper execution support.
