Our Team

A small group of experienced practitioners who deliver our work directly — without delegation to more junior staff.

The People Who Do the Work

Every Meridian engagement is delivered by the adviser who agreed it. We do not subcontract, and we do not substitute personnel without client agreement.

Dr. Eleanor Marsh
Founding Director & Senior Adviser

Dr. Eleanor Marsh

Eleanor founded Meridian Advisory Group in 2012 following a seventeen-year career in management consulting and executive education. She holds a doctorate in Organisational Behaviour from the London School of Economics and has published research on leadership transitions and organisational resilience.

Her advisory practice focuses on board-level mentoring, senior leadership transitions, and strategic planning support. She works with a small number of clients at any one time and is known for the rigour and frankness of her engagement approach.

Why a Small Practice Matters

We have made a deliberate choice to remain a compact practice. The advisers who meet clients and agree engagements are the same advisers who deliver the work — at every stage, throughout.

This model produces more consistent outcomes, stronger advisory relationships, and a level of accountability that is harder to maintain in larger organisations.
