Hi, I'm Charlie Riggs
24 years of strategy experience. One clear mission.
I help CEOs navigate post-merger complexity by cutting through the noise and aligning what matters most
Over the years, I’ve 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, I’m here to share it with you.
Why Work With Me?
Take advantage of my 24 years of developing strategy and save yourself time and money.
I built my foundation with a Masters in Marketing from Manchester University’s School of Management, then spent many years agency-side as a freelance Strategist, working with some of the brightest strategy experts in top London agencies like Ogilvy.
Beyond agencies, I've worked client-side in leadership and management 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 me a unique advantage - spotting patterns and essentials separating thriving businesses from struggling ones.
At the heart of it all? The Strategic Essence®.
I’ve spent years distilling the most powerful elements of strategy into a proven framework that helps CEOs align people, vision and priorities after major change.
It’s tried and tested. And I’m excited to help you use it to push forward with confidence.

"I worked with Charlie, whilst developing an idea for a new startup. She really helped get us to our raison d’être, our reason for existing, or what she calls The Strategic Essence. I really recommend her process. Once you have it nailed, decision making, strategy, everything flows much easier. I found her sessions really powerful. I strongly recommend"
