AldergroveAdvisory

Management consultancy · Founded 2011

Fewer decks.
Better decisions.

A senior-only advisory firm. We take a small number of mandates a year and stay until the change actually sticks, not until the readout.

Approach

We are hired to be useful, not to be around.

A

Two partners, or we pass.

The people you meet in the room are the people who do the work. No pyramids, no bench of juniors learning on your time.

B

A number, or it is an opinion.

Every recommendation carries the model behind it. If we cannot quantify the case, we will tell you it is a judgement call.

C

We stay for the build.

Strategy that nobody implements is theatre. We sit with your team through the first quarter of doing it.

D

Fixed scope, fixed fee.

We price the mandate, not the hours. You know the number before we begin and it does not move.

The practice

Twelve people, one floor, no offshore.

Nadia Kessler, Managing Partner

Aldergrove was built on a plain idea: that the person who sold the work should be the person who does it. We have kept the firm small on purpose, and we intend to keep it that way.

Between us we have run divisions, closed deals, and carried the P&L we now advise on. It is why we tend to argue with the brief before we accept it.
