Every business
has a pulse.
Sharper strategy. Better people. For founders, established businesses, organisations and private clients across technology, media, film, music, healthcare and beyond.
The premise
No layers.
PULSE is deliberately small. No account managers. No handovers. No strategy written by someone you will never meet.
Brief it once. The person who takes the brief does the work. Nothing thins out on the way through.
Access is easy to buy. Judgement isn't.
Anyone can send a shortlist or a strategy deck. The value is knowing which name on it will actually work, and which recommendation is worth the disruption it will cause.
Advisory
Direction, structure, momentum. Strategy, operations, organisational design, investor readiness. Plus the unglamorous part where it actually gets done.

The people who change everything. Executive support, chiefs of staff, leadership appointments, private household and family office. Every application read by a person.

A record label runs on different instincts to a hospital group. A production company runs on different instincts again. Knowing the difference is most of the job.
And the businesses that don't fit a category yet. Usually the interesting ones.
Who PULSE works with
- Founders
Turning an idea into something that runs without one person holding it up. - Established businesses
Growth, restructuring, or finding direction again after a period of drift. - Larger organisations
Defined mandates where an outside view beats another headcount. - Private clients and family offices
Discreet support across business, household and personal interests.
Reach
Wherever the work is.
PULSE works globally. Europe, North America, the Middle East and further out. Remote as standard, in person where it changes the outcome, across time zones without making that your problem.
Searches run internationally too. The right person is rarely in the same postcode.
How PULSE works
Bottom up
Understanding starts with how the work actually gets done, not with the org chart. The answer is usually already inside the business. It just hasn't been asked for.
With intention
Every recommendation has to survive one question: what changes on Monday morning? If nothing does, it doesn't make the final page. Short documents that get used, not long ones that get filed.
With heart
Businesses are people. So are candidates, founders and families. That holds for the ones PULSE turns down, and for the days when the useful thing to say isn't the comfortable one.
Next
Start with a conversation.
No pitch. No obligation. No charge. Describe the situation and you'll get an honest answer on whether PULSE is the right fit, and a pointer elsewhere if it isn't.
