Helping Leaders turn ambition into impact

I work with founders, executives, and organisations to close the gap between strategy and execution, so your business can grow sustainably and consistently.

Lets begin

Embedded Leadership. Real Results

I’m Ketan Makwana. For over a decade, I’ve partnered with start-ups, scale-ups, governments and global organisations to identify bottlenecks, optimize operations, and scale growth. My focus is on solutions that work… not theories that sound good. I take an embedded, hands-on approach, working alongside your team to deliver practical outcomes that last. My goal is simple: help your business execute better, faster, and smarter.

  • £150M+ in capital raised and deployed for clients
  • Restructured operations to support scalable, sustainable growth
  • Built leadership teams that execute with clarity and efficiency

Apex Index

Business growth isn’t luck… it’s readiness.

The Apex Index measures how prepared your business truly is for innovation, investment, and scale. In a world obsessed with valuation, Apex reveals the truth behind it… your ability to adapt, accelerate, and lead.

We don’t just assess; we expose strengths, surface blind spots, and define the altitude your business can reach. Whether you’re raising capital, restructuring, or scaling up, your Apex Score tells investors, partners, and teams exactly where you stand, and what it will take to reach the next peak.

Because growth isn’t about potential. It’s about proof.
