Welcome.
I work with ambitious organisations on what comes next - finding new opportunities, bringing the right people around them, and helping turn them into something real.
My work sits across growth, venture building and ecosystems. Sometimes that means working closely with a team on strategy. Sometimes it means getting outside the usual four walls and finding the people, perspectives and conversations that can move something forward.
If you're working on something interesting you're puzzling over how to take further, I'd like to hear about it.

About Me
About Me
Chelcie Poole
I’m a strategist and operator working across growth, new ventures and ecosystems.
A lot of my work starts with a question that doesn't yet have an obvious answer: where could this business grow next? Who aren't we talking to? What would need to be true for this idea to work? Who should be in the room?
I work across strategy and execution, but I'm particularly interested in what happens when you bring together people who don't usually find themselves in the same conversation.
Never one to keep my hands clean or comments boring, I aspire to make our time together the most fun you'll ever have while doing good work.
Away from my desk, I'm usually outside - skiing, trekking, horse riding, surfing, or finding another reason to disappear into the mountains.
