00The Vantage Point

Most strategy decks get read once, then filed.

I'm not here to write another one.

I sit inside the business until the decision gets made — and stay long enough to see if it actually worked.

— That's the whole method. Everything else is detail.

01The Operating Method

Four stages. No slide deck theater.

Every engagement runs the same discipline, whether it's a five-month operating model rebuild or a three-week pricing sprint.

01

Diagnose

Two to three weeks inside the business — data, interviews, the meetings you'd rather I didn't sit in on. I'm not here to summarize what you already know.

A written view of what's really going on
02

Design

Not a 90-slide deck. A short set of genuinely different paths, each with a cost, a timeline, and the tradeoff nobody wants to say out loud.

2–3 real options, priced and sequenced
03

Decide

I bring the leadership team to a single call, argue for it directly, and put my name on the recommendation — not a menu of options with no owner.

One recommendation, made in the room
04

Deliver

I stay on through the first quarter of execution. If the plan was wrong, we find out fast and say so — not eighteen months later in a retro nobody runs.

90 days of built-in accountability
02Selected Engagements

Four decisions, made and delivered.

01

Regional Logistics Group

Logistics · 900+ employees
Operating Model Redesign
Challenge
Three regional business units running on three different P&Ls, duplicating overhead and quietly competing for the same customers.
Approach
Mapped real decision rights against the org chart, found 40% didn't match, and redesigned around four accountable business lines instead of geography.
Result
Consolidated overhead, cut decision latency, and gave the CEO a structure she could actually run — not just draw.

Series B Fintech

Fintech · MENA
Go-to-Market Strategy
Challenge
Burning runway acquiring customers in four segments at once, none of them clearly winning, board losing patience.
Approach
Ran a two-week segment-economics teardown, killed two segments the founders were emotionally attached to, and rebuilt the GTM motion around the one with real payback.
Result
CAC payback cut in half within two quarters; the round that followed closed on the back of that one number.

Family-Owned Retail Group

Retail & FMCG · Third generation
Succession & Governance
Challenge
A founder unwilling to let go, two siblings who wouldn't sit in the same room, and a business that hadn't updated its governance since 1994.
Approach
Built an independent board seat, a written decision charter, and a succession timeline the founder actually signed — after six individual conversations, not one group one.
Result
First formal board meeting in the company's history; a succession plan now in writing, not in the founder's head.

B2B SaaS Scale-up

SaaS · Series C
Pricing & Growth Strategy
Challenge
Land-and-expand pricing that stopped expanding — net revenue retention flat for three straight quarters.
Approach
Rebuilt pricing around a usage metric customers actually felt, tested it on 12% of the base before full rollout, and rewired sales comp to match.
Result
Net revenue retention back above 115% within two quarters, with no measurable increase in churn.

06From The Room

What clients say once it's over.

“
She was the only advisor who told us to kill two of our four product lines. It was the right call, and it was the one nobody in the room was willing to say out loud first.
Rahul MenonCEO, Series B Fintech
“
Most consultants hand you a deck and disappear. Meera stayed through the first quarter of execution and flagged when part of the plan wasn't working before we had to ask.
Sara Al FarsiCOO, Regional Logistics Group
“
We'd avoided the succession conversation for a decade. She got my father, my sister, and me into the same room and out of it with a written plan — that alone was worth the engagement.
Karan VasantManaging Director, Family Retail Group
