The idea for FastCEO hatched as a result of a gap in the current ecosystem for catering for the development of founder-CEOs or COOs transitioning to leadership roles.
We help startups CEOs, COOs, founders and teams to evolve their leadership capabilities and culture so that they create businesses that excel in the 4th industrial revolution.
We work with ambitious tech entrepreneurs, c-suite leaders, key managers and their teams to accelerate leadership capability in a way that is fast, sustainable and simple that is geared to improving business performance and social impact.
We know first-hand how easy it is to feel the burn of new venture creation therefore we also help our clients access more resilience. We do this through realising the human experience via powerful and immersive experiences that shift mindsets and transform behaviours while focusing on solving leadership and business challenges.
