Leon Prescott

I am a C-suite executive and executive consultant with over 25 years of international leadership experience, specialising in business turnaround, digital transformation, and board-level alignment. I bring a rare combination of operational depth, technology fluency, and behavioural insight, having led organisations through growth, restructuring, and complex change across technology, engineering, defence, and professional services.

What differentiates me as an advisor and board member is my ability to operate comfortably at both altitude and ground level. I help boards and founders translate strategy into execution, challenge assumptions with data and pragmatism, and maintain focus on commercial outcomes without losing sight of people, culture, and governance. As a PCC-certified executive coach with a psychology background, I am particularly effective in navigating board dynamics, founder transitions, and leadership inflection points where decision quality matters more than consensus.

Companies that benefit most from my expertise are founder-led or private-equity-backed organisations facing scale-up challenges, margin pressure, or strategic repositioning, particularly in technology-enabled sectors. I am especially valuable to businesses undergoing digital transformation, enterprise IT or ERP modernisation, AI adoption, or post-merger integration, where strong governance, disciplined execution, and leadership alignment are critical.

I am a commercially minded, independent voice in the boardroom, focused on value creation, risk management, and sustainable growth. I do not advise from theory. I advise from experience, pattern recognition, and a clear understanding of what actually works when markets tighten and expectations rise.
