About us

Steph, Guy and Lizee joined forces when they worked together on a series of transformations related to:

  • Process and operational design 

  • Marketing

  • Finance

  • Technology platforms & integration

The trio found that their individual fields complemented each other. Eager to cultivate their own practice, they combined their talents to create sdr.advisory.  In December 2024, ARN published a profile:
How experience brought sdr advisory to fruition.

Their working process is initiated through analysis & other evidence collection, qualified by wider context, such as scenarios, risk assessment and logical argument. Best practice methodologies & frameworks are applied with our expertise & experience.

Each team member is an adviser with Catallyze - the entrepreneurs catalyst.
