Growth Partner Desk

A senior advisor at your side — not on your payroll.

For founders who’ve outgrown going it alone but aren’t ready (or willing) to bring that capability in-house. The Growth Partner Desk gives you a retained senior thinking partner — quietly available, deeply involved, always candid.

What's included

Senior advisory, structured around how you actually run the business.

The Growth Partner Desk is not a coaching programme and not a fractional role. It's a deliberately limited advisory engagement — a small number of founders, each with senior, ongoing access to a partner who knows the business inside out.

Monthly strategy session with Sonja

On-call advisory access between sessions

Quarterly business review with leadership team

Board-level sounding board on key decisions

Access to commercial templates, scorecards and frameworks

Annual offsite to set the next 12-month plan

Investment

From £4,500 / month

12-month engagement. Reviewed quarterly. Capped at six founders at any one time.

Founders typically recover the annual investment inside the first quarter through margin and profit moves alone — long before we get to the team, sales and structural gains.

Is this for you?

The Growth Partner Desk is the right fit if…

01You're the only person who can answer the difficult questions

03Your leadership team is capable but not accountable

05You know there's a step-change in the business — and you can't see how to get there from here

02You're growing in revenue but margin is moving the wrong way

04You're making big decisions alone, at midnight, on the back of a napkin

Having Sonja on retainer changed the conversations I have with myself about the business. I stopped second-guessing. The team got sharper because I got sharper. The numbers followed.
