strategist & negotiator

helping you achieve your ambitions

Strategy is achieving your ambitions as stuff outside your control tries to stop you.

It’s essential to success, but it’s often misunderstood and poorly practised.

This is where I can help.

As chief strategist for Rhia Health, I’ve overseen the creation of two brands and several products, negotiated with distributors and stakeholders around the world, and brokered partnerships with large corporations.

I want to help your organisation achieve its full potential:

strategic “therapist”

understanding your challenges and providing guidance

CEOs, founders, and C-Suite executives deal with intense pressure everyday.

As a strategic “therapist”, I act as a confidential sounding board.

This helps my clients clarify their vision and their priorities.

    I facilitate discussions to ensure leadership goals are in sync with company objectives.

    And I provide tools for maintaining alignment during periods of change.

strategy summits

bringing together decision-makers and driving through projects

It’s easy to believe that everyone within an organization is on the same page.

My summits bring together leadership teams to ensure that they are.

I act as a mediator - facilitating discussion, resolving issues or bottlenecks, and making sure everyone can see the big picture.

  • I facilitate the creation of clear, measurable, and achievable strategic goals.

    I ensure alignment of individual, departmental, and organizational objectives.

    And I establish a roadmap with milestones and KPIs to track progress.

“blank slate” advocacy

giving you an edge in negotiations

A problem negotiating with long-term stakeholders is that they know how you operate.

This is where I step in, acting as an advocate for my clients.

As I’m new to the opposing party, they are unaware of my approach and my tactics - giving us a strategic advantage.

  • I ensure that the opposing party stays unaware of my negotiation tactics and strategies.

    By presenting myself as a "blank slate", I prevent them from discerning your approach or objectives.

    This strategic concealment gives us a significant advantage, allowing us to control the negotiation narrative and outcome.

  • I employ dynamic tactics that keep the opposing party guessing and unable to predict next moves.

    Through constant adaptation and unpredictability, I maintain the upper hand in negotiations, preempting any attempts to manipulate or undermine our position.

    This ensures that our negotiation strategy remains agile and responsive to changing circumstances

  • I review outcomes, assess performance, and identify lessons learned.

    Through debriefing sessions, I offer insights and recommendations for future negotiations based on our collective experience.

    I remain available to address any post-negotiation issues or follow-up negotiations, ensuring continuity and ongoing support.

“Aaron’s involvement was a game-changer. He outmanoeuvred our competition and we got the settlement we wanted.”
