Founder

Experience that resonates

A Life Lived Across Systems, Cultures, and Communities

Reson8 was founded on the belief that the best strategy comes from lived experience,

not theory alone.

Having lived and worked across three continents, the founder of Reson8 brings a rare, holistic perspective on business, community, and change. This global experience shapes a calm, grounded approach to strategy — one that understands people, systems, and cultures before technology.

From Global Corporations to Grassroots Communities

Over the course of a diverse career, Reson8’s founder has worked across the full spectrum of business and organizational life:

• Project Manager at Siemens AG, delivering complex projects within global engineering and technology systems

• Engineering Systems Specialist at Xerox, working at the intersection of technology, process, and performance

• Restaurant Owner, gaining first-hand experience of front line operations, margins, staffing, and customer experience

• Development Director for Africa Vision and the World Song Contest, leading international, purpose-driven initiatives

• Director of The Oxfordshire Project, building and hosting 16 business network groups across Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, supporting local enterprise and sustainability

• Owner of an international award-winning Bed & Breakfast in St. Augustine, Florida, blending hospitality, branding, operations, and customer connection

• Founder and Director of a grant-funded non-profit music and arts foundation, supporting creativity, community, and cultural impact

This breadth of experience means Reson8 understands business, not just from the boardroom, but from the ground up.

Why This Matters:

Few consultants have: - Led projects inside global corporations - Built and run small businesses from scratch - Worked within non-profits and grant-funded organisations - Supported creative, cultural, and community-led initiatives.

This range creates a deep empathy for business owners and leaders— because the challenges they face have been lived, not just studied.

A Human-Centered Philosophy

Businesses succeed when they resonate — with their people, their audience, and their purpose.

That belief has been shaped by: - Working across cultures and continents - Navigating both success and uncertainty - Building businesses, communities, and creative ecosystems
