Who we are
Based at Foundry Farm, inside the Northern tip of the New Forest, we are a small, driven team with great ambition. We are passionate about helping CEOs and business leaders succeed by taking the mystery out of growth.

Carlos Mampel Balsera
Accountability Coach
Carlos has a Master’s and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management, as well as a Bachelor degree in Law from Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. After finishing his studies, Carlos decided that staying in Spain wasn’t for him. Instead, he spends most of his time at the office, ensuring every client gets the best coaching experience (also between sessions).
He recently started his own fitness coaching company, so when he’s not at the office, he will be working on growing his own business along with his partner.

Karol is a Scaling Up Business Coach and Certified Gallup Clifton Strengths Coach. His purpose is to make growth simple. He helps CEOs and their executive teams create a clear vision and a plan on how to achieve it.
