About SAXON
Different seats. Same growth problem.
Startup. Acquisition. Global enterprise. Big Four. Founder. Different logos, different budgets, surprisingly similar problems.
Founder & CEO, SAXON
How we got here
I didn’t set out to build another consulting firm.
I’m Heather Saxon-Simon, founder of SAXON. 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.
More about Heather →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.

Founder-led
Practical by design.
SAXON is founder-led for a reason. Senior-level thinking stays close to the work, from figuring out what matters to making decisions, building momentum and getting things done.
No unnecessary layers. No big strategy reveal followed by a disappearing act.
Just smart thinking, practical execution and people who care whether it actually works.
Ready when you are.
Do the right things.
Make them work harder.
Tell us what’s stuck. We’ll help figure out what deserves attention—and what doesn’t.
