He’s been there, done it and got the scars to prove it. 


"Ross is 'real' in so far as you get the sense that he's been there, done it and got the scars to prove it. He hasn't 'fallen' into his role or got 'lucky' but worked for it over many years and I think he's all the better for it. The fact he can relate to me and the challenges I am facing so easily is what I've enjoyed most while working with him."

Expert guidance that elevates teams and leadership


"Ross Boardman was an excellent mentor and advisor to myself and the leadership team at my company and I would highly recommend his services. Over the course of a 6 month engagement he provided clear, actionable insights that we were able to implement with our teams. By doing so we streamlined many of our processes and improved our overall Product practices to build a better roadmap and influence our decisions with smarter inputs. I personally enjoyed having Ross as a coaching resource to make me a better leader of my Product Management team; his experience and "sounding board" abilities were fantastic. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Ross again."

In the time that Ross has been involved in our business, he has shown an unparalleled level of commitment, expertise, and dedication that has significantly contributed to our company's growth and success. Ross brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table, with both practical and technical experience. His understanding of business is invaluable, providing us with strategic and tactical solutions that have directly impacted the day-to-day business operations. What truly sets Ross apart is not just his professional nature, but also the personal touch he brings to the role. He has not only been a business coach and mentor but has become a trusted friend. Ross has a remarkable ability to connect with individuals on a personal level, fostering a positive and collaborative work environment. His approach goes beyond the conventional consultant-client relationship. The value Ross has added to our company is immeasurable and has also helped myself develop personally outside of the business. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any organisation seeking a mentor with not only a wealth of experience and technical expertise but also someone who can seamlessly blend into the fabric of the company as a mentor and friend.

Ross has had a huge impact on our small team and business growth. Right from the start, he delved deep into understanding our business dynamics - you can tell he cares about the people in every team. Implementing streamlined processes tailored to our needs, makes the chaotic entrepreneurial journey feel much more structured. His guidance ensures that the implementation isn’t a one-time thing; it's an ongoing refinement process, just like the continuous improvement in our services. Our small team, once navigating uncertainties, is now operating with increased efficiency and moving towards growth. Thanks Ross!
