What we do
Advisory for the people leading change
Altered works alongside founders, boards and executive teams during moments of transition, including ownership change, succession, restructuring and growth. We help leaders make sound decisions while remaining clear-headed and connected to the people they lead.
Who we work with
Founders, boards and C-suite executives navigating transactions, transitions or significant organisational change.
Founder/CEO advice
At key inflection points, we give founders and CEOs a safe space to discuss, reflect and navigate complex issues. We support transitions, succession and role shifts with candid, confidential advice, backed by a curated network of legal, financial, governance and communications experts to turn insight into action.
Fundraising
Navigating fundraising with more clarity and efficiency. We support founders and leadership teams on story, structure, investor fit and energy management. We also advise on shareholder dynamics and agreement structures to avoid future disputes and bring in the investor perspective to maximise potential funding opportunities. Execution sits with trusted legal, banking and financial experts from our network.
Board composition & organisational structures
Design a board built for the next decade, not just the next quarter. We help you clarify the skills, perspectives and diversity you need and work with specialist advisors and search partners from our network to shape a future-fit composition.
Conflict management
Navigating founder, board and leadership conflict in a way that protects both relationships and the business. We create confidential space for honest conversation and collaborate with specialist mediators and conflict coaches where needed.
Governance
Review and optimise founder shareholder agreements to avoid future disputes. Strengthen board effectiveness, decision-making and oversight in complex, fast-moving environments. We combine Altered's perspective with a network of governance experts, tailored to your context, to sharpen judgement and improve how the board actually works.
Artificial Intelligence, you and your organisation
Defining where AI adds value, setting practical guardrails and designing governance so that technology enhances rather than erodes human judgement. We work with a specialist Artificial Intelligence advisor, John Swain (Artificial Intelligence Specialist) to help organisations and individual leaders balance ambition, risk and ethics in this new era.
