We help growth-stage companies, family-owned groups and their boards grow, strengthen their finances and govern well, and we develop technologies of our own. Our partners have run a national airline, a $4B logistics platform and the finance functions of global businesses.
Most of our work comes by introduction. We are glad to hear from you directly.
Start a conversationFor owners, CEOs and founders deciding where to grow, how fast, and with what capital, or how to turn a business around.
Where to compete, how to enter a new country or sector, and what it will take in people, partners and capital. Shaped by building national platforms from zero across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the US.
The operating cadence, team shape and capital plan the next stage needs, and preparation for the investors, lenders or listing that will fund it. Where we see the fit, we sometimes invest alongside our clients.
Operating model, performance and restructuring work for established businesses, delivered hands-on alongside management. We have returned loss-making operations to profit in months.
Where to incorporate, how to structure holding and operating companies, where intellectual property and trade marks should sit, and how to bank across borders. We coordinate your lawyers and accountants so their time goes on judgement, not basics.
Sectors we have run: aviation, transport and logistics, climate technology, battery and energy storage recycling, software, sport, consumer goods and industrial.
For founder-led and growth-stage businesses that need a forward view of cash, board-ready numbers, or an experienced executive in the seat without a permanent hire.
Weekly cash discipline, budgets and forecasts, investor and lender reporting, and board packs, from a CFO who has led finance across Europe, Asia Pacific and the US.
A decision tool built on your real bank, receivables, payables and payroll data, with base, upside and downside scenarios and a one-page summary for your board. Yours to keep.
The controls, systems, reporting and HR processes a growing group needs, and company secretarial and governance work brought in-house when the time is right.
A former CEO, COO or chief commercial officer in the seat for the months that matter: a launch, a raise, a restructuring or a leadership gap.
We provide financial forecasting and advisory, not tax, audit or legal advice, and work alongside the specialists who sign those off.

Start a conversation hello@gritsylimited.comIndependent and resident directors for private companies and family holding structures, with board experience across the UAE, Singapore, Europe and the United States.
Challenge and counsel on strategy, capital, risk and people from directors who have been chief executive and CFO themselves, and who have raised capital and dealt with regulators and governments.
A small number of resident directorships for private companies and family holding structures, with board meetings held where the company is based. Statutory records stay with the licensed corporate services provider you appoint.
Board effectiveness reviews and advice on who the board needs next, from people who have advised Fortune 500 boards and sovereign funds.
Introductions to senior private and commercial bankers, and coordination of a holding company's move between jurisdictions with advocates in both places. No commissions taken from any bank.
Every client gets a partner.
We work alongside founders and companies to create new businesses, brands and products, and we design the experiences and the brand and product capabilities that bring them to life. Our approach is progressive and iterative: we test our assumptions early, learn from real people, and refine as we go.
We help shape what a new venture, brand or product should be, who it serves and how it wins. Then we design the customer experience, the brand and the product capabilities needed to launch it, and stay to help it grow.
We treat every assumption as a hypothesis to be tested. We start with the people the solution is for, build simple prototypes, put them in front of real users, and tweak the idea and the process along the way. Each round builds on the last, so what we launch is shaped by evidence and centred on the people who will use it.
We apply the same method to our own technologies. Our most advanced programme is modular and mobile pre-treatment for industrial lithium-ion and EV batteries, taking the first steps of recycling to where batteries are. What we develop is sold or applied with clients on a consulting basis.
Gritsy Limited is continuously innovating and testing new ideas across energy transition, logistics, consumer brands and industrial operations. If you have a problem that existing solutions do not solve, we would like to hear about it.

Speak to a partner directly.
Start a conversationTwo decades of building, scaling, financing and fixing businesses in regulated markets across four continents, as founders, chief executives, CFOs, directors and investors. We judge ourselves on results, so these are the ones we can point to.
Took a new airline from licence application to scheduled operations in one of the world's most regulated aviation markets.
Turned a ports business into a multi-modal logistics group spanning rail, trucking, warehousing, airports and air cargo.
Built an industrial battery recycling and critical minerals company across the UK and US, and prepared it for an AIM or NYSE listing.
Scaled a SaaS platform from MVP to a strategic transaction, and built a second SaaS business inside a private equity portfolio.
Ran a $1.8B industrial business across 17 Asia Pacific countries and returned its failing China operation to profit. Later served as operating partner across a private equity portfolio.
Set up a regional finance hub in Singapore, hired the team and implemented the ERP for expansion into six Asia Pacific markets. Led planning for a business aiming to grow from $2M to $100M+, and later served as CFO of a PE-backed US business operating across several states. A CFO who has sat on both sides of the board table, in business and in diplomacy.
Set up, run and, when the time came, closed companies in several jurisdictions, from incorporation, banking and group filings to an orderly wind-down. Built the controls, systems and governance behind finance and HR functions, and brought company secretarial and governance work in-house.
Advised Fortune 500 boards and sovereign funds as a principal at a global board advisory firm, led a first-of-its-kind board review for a Singapore-listed company, and has held board roles in the UAE, Singapore, Europe and the United States.
Navigated aviation, ports and logistics regulators in Asia and federal and state energy and environmental regulators in the US. Represented a European government at senior international forums, including the UNICEF Executive Board, and led business diplomacy for market-entry partnerships.
