Strategic Advisor · sc.arisman.co.uk
Founder, executive leader, and architect with 28 years of experience spanning real estate development, governance, contracts management, and business transformation. Advisory for decision-makers who cannot afford to be wrong.
I combine the structured thinking of an architect, the commercial awareness of a contracts professional, the practical experience of a project leader, and the strategic perspective of a business founder — applied to mandates where the stakes are high and the margin for error is low.
Twenty-eight years of professional experience across real estate development, construction, contracts management, dispute resolution, governance, and institutional development. Founded three organisations. Served as general manager, technical director, contracts director, and construction dispute resolution expert across the career.
Currently focused on real estate asset management, governance systems, professional standards, certification architecture, capability development, knowledge systems, and AI-enabled organisational transformation.
Board structure, decision rights, accountability frameworks, and the institutional design of how consequential choices are made, validated, and held to account.
