Strategic Guidance for Business Leaders
Running a business means constant decisions about growth, people, structure and strategy. As organisations grow, those decisions become more complex and the margin for error shrinks.
Amigo Ventures was founded by Chris McBride MBE after more than 25 years building and leading a multi million pound SME from start up through to successful exit while navigating economic disruption and market change. Having experienced the pressures and isolation that can come with leading a business, he created Amigo to give leaders trusted perspective and honest challenge.
Today Amigo Ventures brings together a trusted network of experienced business leaders who work alongside founders, CEOs and leadership teams as an independent strategic partner helping businesses navigate complex challenges and move forward with clarity and confidence.
