I Diagnose Critical Business Issues and Help Leaders Be Their Best
Uncertain business environment. Pressure to grow the business. Conflicting priorities. A demanding board and investors. Integrating AI into the business. Unmotivated managers and staff. Burnout.... The list of business-critical issues that occupy your mind is long.
My name is Judit Petho and I work with CEOs, Boards, Directors, senior executives on high-impact issues.
I focus on two areas
- diagnosing critical business issues and putting in place the right actions to address them
- mentoring/coaching executives for high performance leadership
Why work with me?
I am a seasoned CEO and business advisor with decades of experience leading complex organisations 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.
"Judit is respected for her pragmatic approach, strategic insight, and the ability to inspire and mobilise teams under pressure. Working with her it is clear she is committed to decisive action and ethical leadership and helping senior leaders achieve the same." - TV, serial CEO and Chairman
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.
What's keeping you up at night?
Leadership can be lonely if you don't have the right team around you.
If you are
- a CEO in a demanding environment that requires fast, high-impact decision making
- a Director navigating uncertainty, transition, rapid growth
- a developing Leader seeking an experienced guide
I can help you. I've sat where you sit. I understand the stakes, constraints and opportunities.
"Judit's contribution to our development and growth has been very valuable and I personally really appreciate that she is not an academic or executive coach but a leader and operator who has lived the realities at the core of her advice." - AS, Founder and CEO
My leadership and guidance has produced measurable results - from transformations and right-sizing operations, to strengthening financial footing and increasing profits.
Business Critical Issues and High Performance
I advise CEOs, Boards, senior executives of SMEs and high-growth companies on business critical issues from operations, financial viability, measuring and managing performance (KPIs, OKRs), and expansion to organisational structure and leadership issues.
In addition to longer assignments and projects, I also support CEOs via ad hoc, short and sharp sessions that can be booked below (no long term commitment):
