When an organisation needs executive leadership but isn't ready — or able — to hire permanently, Anthony steps in. Drawing on his experience as President of Avon Canada and CEO of two national associations, he provides hands-on operational leadership that stabilises the organisation and builds toward a sustainable solution.

A rigorous, fair, and constructive CEO evaluation is one of the most important things a board can do — and one of the most poorly done. Anthony brings an objective, experienced eye to the process, designing and conducting evaluations that are credible to both the board and the CEO, and that result in clear, actionable outcomes.

A strategic plan that sits in a drawer helps no one. Anthony facilitates strategic planning processes that are grounded in honest assessment, built on genuine organisational strengths, and result in a plan that leadership actually owns and uses. He brings external perspective without losing sight of internal realities.

High-performing boards don't happen by accident. Anthony conducts thorough, independent board evaluations that give directors an honest picture of how they are functioning — collectively and individually — and provide the board with a clear, prioritised improvement agenda. The result is a stronger, more confident board.
- Boards that haven't been evaluated in two or more years
- Newly reconstituted boards establishing a baseline
- Boards experiencing tension or underperformance
- Organisations preparing for funder or regulator review
- Confidential director surveys and interviews
- Assessment against governance best practice
- Written report with prioritised recommendations
- Facilitated board discussion of findings
Good governance is the foundation of every effective organisation — and for NPO boards in particular, it is both a legal obligation and a strategic advantage. Anthony provides targeted governance guidance that helps boards understand their responsibilities, build the right structures, and create a culture of accountability and transparency that funders, regulators, and communities can trust.
- NPO boards wanting to strengthen governance practice
- New board members needing orientation
- Boards with financial oversight gaps

- Governance training tailored to your board
- Finance for non-finance directors sessions
