Hi, I'm Charlie Riggs
Ā

24 years of strategy experience. One clear mission.
IĀ help businesses unlock their full potentialĀ by cutting through the noise and finding the focus that drives real growth.
Over the years, Iāve worked alongside some of the sharpest strategic minds, distilling the most powerful elements of strategy into a framework that delivers absolute clarity, alignment, and impact.
Now, Iām here to share it with you.
Why Work With Me?
Take advantage of my 24 years of developingĀ strategy and save yourselfĀ time and money.
I built my foundation with a Masters in Marketing from Manchester Universityās School of Management, then spent many years agency-side as a freelanceĀ Strategist, working with some of the brightest strategy experts in top London agencies like Ogilvy.
Beyond agencies, I'veĀ worked client-sideĀ in leadership and managementĀ teams, learning first hand what drives business success. I've trained with world-class strategists with Hoala, qualified as a Business Consultant and Coach with Evercoach (realising I prefer consulting over coaching!) and have helped many clients lead with clarity and confidence.
All of this experience has given meĀ a unique advantageĀ - spotting patterns andĀ essentials separating thriving businesses from struggling ones.Ā
At the heart of it all? The Strategic EssenceĀ®.
Iāve spent years distilling the most powerful elements of strategy into a proven framework that cuts through the noise, unlocks clarity, and provides a springboard to growth.
Itās tried and tested. And Iām excited to help you use it to push forward with confidence.
