Our Story

Andrew, Anthony and Richard are the three founders of Aletheian.  We met when we were leading teams and building businesses as City bankers, but our real passion is working out how people and organisations tick.

During our careers we have experienced a wide range of corporate cultures, from the very good to the very bad.  We have always been fascinated by the way that culture influences people’s behaviour at work – and how that in turn can have a huge impact on results.

We were committed enough to pursue these interests further while we continued with our City careers.  We went and studied.  Richard trained as a counsellor on the side, Anthony spent his weekends qualifying as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Andrew earned a post-graduate degree in Industrial Relations.

What this means for you

With over 100 years of combined commercial experience, we understand the high-pressure results-oriented environment that you operate in.  We understand what you are trying to achieve and the pressures that you face. 

At the same time, we also know how to get individuals to change their attitudes, their habits and their approach to their work.  We have the tools to change hearts and minds.  

It’s the combination of these two sets of skills and experience that is so powerful.  Not only do we know how to build a culture that maximises personal and corporate performance, but we also know what high performance looks like in a high stakes commercial environment – and how to achieve it.   This means that we can help you to get the very best out of your team and your organisation.

That is why we founded Aletheian Advisors.
