With you all the way!
Start Up
You’ve got the idea. Now you need the systems, strategy, and leadership to make it real. Aart Valiant helps founders build from the ground up—clarifying direction, shaping early teams, and setting up the management backbone that scales. We bring big-firm insight to small-business ambition, minus the overhead.
Scale Up
Growth is exciting—and chaotic. We help you scale with intention: tightening operations, aligning leadership, and building systems that don’t buckle under pressure. Whether it’s fractional exec support, coaching for emerging leaders, or strategic consulting, Aart Valiant keeps your business sharp as it expands.
Grow & Transform
Markets shift. Teams evolve. Tech disrupts. Aart Valiant helps you lead through transformation—retooling processes, refreshing strategy, and unlocking performance across your business. We’re not here to observe change; we help you drive it with clarity, courage, and a plan that sticks.
Exit
Whether you’re selling, handing over the reins, or stepping back, exit is a leadership moment. We help you prepare—cleaning up operations, strengthening succession, and positioning your business for maximum value. Aart Valiant brings experience, discretion, and structure to make your final move your best one.
Who We Are
Our Mission: Making bold moves possible—from first hire to final handshake.
Aart Valiant is not your typical consultancy. We partner with ambitious businesses—who are ready to move with clarity, courage, and real-world impact. With 25+ years of experience inside complex organisations, we bring the kind of strategic firepower that’s usually locked behind boardroom doors. But we deliver it differently: less theatre, more traction.
Whether it’s fractional leadership, business consulting, or coaching, we embed deep expertise without the ego, helping founders, owners and teams make smarter decisions at every stage of growth. From startup spark to exit strategy, Aart Valiant is built for the full business lifecycle. We help you scale without chaos, transform with purpose, and lead with confidence. Our approach is hands-on, honest, and tailored to the realities of growing a business—not the textbook version.
If you’re looking for bold moves, better systems, and growth orientated leadership, you’re in the right place.
