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 interrelated projects also engaged analytical techniques such as data integrity, statistical analysis and financial forecasting.

The trio found that their individual fields complemented each other. Eager to cultivate their own practice, one that would intersect their expertise with their respective interests, 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 the analysis of data & other evidence, which is qualified by wider contextual analysis, such as scenarios, and logical argument. Industry methodologies are applied where appropriate as are the insights garnered from previous experiences.

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

Our values are to act with Integrity in our clients’ interests; guarantee the Quality of our work to enhance our clients’ strategies; and stay committed to Innovation as the means to advance our clients’ futures.
