About SAXON

Different seats. Same growth problem.

Startup. Acquisition. Global enterprise. Big Four. Founder. Different logos, different budgets, surprisingly similar problems.

How we got here

I didn’t set out to build another consulting firm.

I started in software, trying to figure out how to make a growing company matter to the people it needed to reach. That company became Exstream. It grew, was acquired by HP for $371M, and gave me a front-row seat to what happens when growth gets real.

Then came enterprise marketing, PwC, EY and Deloitte. Bigger businesses. More stakeholders. More tools. Same question: what actually changes the outcome?

After enough versions of that problem, the pattern gets hard to ignore: most teams don’t need more ideas. They need a better way to decide what deserves attention.

That’s the idea behind SAXON.

Smart people rarely have an ideas problem.
They have a too-many-things problem.

The work piles up quietly: another campaign, another dashboard, another tool, another “quick” request. Eventually everything is important—which is another way of saying nothing is.

SAXON helps separate signal from noise: what matters, what doesn’t, and what has actually earned more.

Sometimes the most useful answer is: “I don’t think you need that.”

A few things keep proving true

01

More activity rarely fixes unclear priorities.

A team can execute beautifully against the wrong things. Focus has to come before volume.

02

A good business still needs a story people can understand.

Internal certainty does not automatically become market demand. The story has to travel outside the building.

03

Scale should make good work travel farther.

If growth only creates more meetings, more handoffs and more manual work, something is off. Systems, reuse and AI should create leverage—not another layer to manage.

Practical by design.

You’re not hiring SAXON for another layer of recommendations someone else has to translate.

We get close enough to the problem to make the calls, build the first version and help the team put it to work.

Straight answers. Useful work. No strategy deck disappearing into SharePoint.
