Not a normal Chair. Energy, power and momentum at your top table.
A normal Chair runs governance. As your Alignment Chair, I run governance and bring the energy, the network and the presence that align your board, executives and shareholders behind your vision, then keep them moving. For ambitious 8-figure businesses around the world.
Energy in the room
I lift the board and the executive team, not just chair the meeting.
Alignment
Your board, executives and shareholders behind one vision, using the three levels of alignment.
Power and access
Introductions from my network of investors, leaders and decision-makers, opening the doors that take you further.
Your figurehead on stage
An all-company keynote each year, and a voice for your vision with investors and customers.
Momentum, built in
A leadership team alignment workshop each year, seats in The Circle for your executives, and a 90-day commit, review and recommit rhythm.
Also available: non-executive director and advisory roles, with the same energy and the same alignment.
I've led in business and in public life.
Leading a city council and building businesses taught me the same lesson: people achieve extraordinary things when they're aligned. I've made the case for my city in the most senior rooms in the country, and I've sat across the table from owners fighting for their business. Finding alignment and bringing people together is what I do naturally, whether it's a leadership team of ten or a global business.
Alongside my clients, at their table.
Since stepping away from politics in 2024, I've put the same leadership to work as an advisor: sitting down with owners and founders, listening first, and helping them align their people and their plan.
Two businesses, one shared purpose.
In 2019 I brought together Charles Edwardson, business and property finance brokers, and Elephants Child, small business growth advisors. Elephants Child's clients needed finance to grow; Charles Edwardson could provide it.
Together we created a joint venture giving Elephants Child's clients a dedicated business finance brokering package. Five years on, we met at the Harbour Hotel to celebrate, and to work out how to work even closer together.
Bringing the UK and India to the same table.
Working with Amarjit Singh, CEO of India Business Group, on global partnerships, bringing businesses in the UK and India together around shared opportunities.
“Daniel joined RootQuotient as Board Advisor as we launched in the UK. He opened doors quickly, built the partnerships we needed, and brought people together around a shared goal. His leadership and network made a real difference to our UK launch.”
How an Engagement Works
Conversation
We meet, in person wherever possible, and I listen: what's working, what isn't, and where you want to get to. There are no fixed packages; everything starts with your needs.
Fit
We decide together whether I'm the right person. I only take on work where I believe in the mission, can add real value, and can see how to bring the people around the table into alignment.
Commitment
We shape the role around you, whether that's chair, non-executive director or advisor, and agree how we'll work. Then I'm all in: constant communication, honest challenge, and accountability for the results.
