Strategic Planning for Business and Life

What CEOs say:

"What I’ve always appreciated about Judit is not just the peer relationship, but her depth as a management thinker and coach. She has an ability to cut through noise, challenge assumptions constructively, and bring clarity to complex leadership issues. Our conversations are never superficial — they’re rigorous, thoughtful and often uncomfortable in the best possible way.

If you’re in a leadership role and don’t yet have someone who stretches your thinking while having your back — I’d strongly recommend finding that person. It changes the game. Maybe you should find Judit Petho" - Tony Veverka, seasoned PE backed CEO, NED, Chairman

My name is Judit [pronounced like Judith but with a t] Petho and I work with SMEs on diagnosing and solving critical business issues and coaching senior executives for high performance or helping them transition to a portfolio career. As a 4xCEO and ex-global COO I bring knowledge and understanding that only comes from having been in the room, holding P&L responsibility, facing investor and board pressure, building and transforming revenue generating companies from startup to 100m revenue.

When you work with me you will go from feeling overwhelmed with strategic choices and uncertainty to having clarity on critical issues and making better decisions, faster. So you can finally achieve that ambitious 3-year goal, be that a successful exit, multiplied profits, or increased market share.

I have decades of experience leading complex organisations as CEO and Global COO through high-stakes decisions and transformational change. I served at the helm of prominent companies spanning multiple sectors, navigating economic upheavals, restructuring, and growth with a steady hand and clear vision.
