“I founded Guru Business to help senior leaders deliver better commercial outcomes through stronger strategy, higher performing teams and sharper leadership at the top”

Mat Shepherd, Founder at Guru Business Ltd

Since 2003, I have worked with CEOs, boards, executive teams and senior leaders across consumer healthcare, engineering, manufacturing, financial services, travel and consumer goods.

My deepest experience is in consumer healthcare, but the situations that bring clients to me are remarkably consistent: growth targets that are not being achieved, teams that are not performing at the level the strategy demands, or a leadership challenge that is showing up directly in commercial results.

I work with a small number of clients at any one time. Every engagement is bespoke, and the person you hire is the person in the room. I lead the work myself rather than handing it to junior consultants.

I am also a volunteer mentor for the Association of Business Mentors, the UK professional body that promotes and develops high-quality business mentoring.

“After becoming CEO, I engaged with Mat to help the leadership team and me define and create an ambitious strategy for our business. This was received well both internally and externally, and in the following year we grew our revenues by 12% and profit by 21%”.
