Guest brief
Daniel scaled Meridian from a two-person consultancy to a 120-person firm without losing the margin — or the culture. He's obsessed with the difference between delegating tasks and delegating decisions, and he's rebuilt Meridian's org three times to prove the point.
Credibility
- Grew Meridian Advisory from 2 to 120 people in six years
- Kept 38% net margins through the scale
- Advises PE firms on post-acquisition operating models
