Paul brings over 15 years of executive board-level experience across investor-backed and listed companies, having held CFO, COO and CEO positions across a range of high-growth and transformational businesses. He has worked hands-on with more than 50 private companies — from pre-revenue start-ups through to businesses turning over £65m — guiding them through the full spectrum of commercial and operational challenge.

His M&A track record speaks for itself: more than 25 acquisitions completed and integrated, with transactions spanning three continents and markets as diverse as the UK, North America, Asia-Pacific, and mainland Europe. He understands the mechanics of dealmaking as well as the human side — what founders need, what investors want, and how to bridge the two.

Paul founded Eranos with a clear purpose: to bring the quality of senior operational and strategic support that larger businesses take for granted to the ambitious, entrepreneurial companies that need it most. The model is deliberately hands-on and personal — no junior teams, no arms-length advice, no going through the motions.

Joanna is a Chartered Accountant with deep expertise in financial planning and analysis, back-office infrastructure, and the operational finance functions that underpin scalable, resilient businesses. Her career spans two decades across the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors — giving her a breadth of perspective that is rare and genuinely valuable to the businesses Eranos works with.

She spent eight years as Head of Finance at the Chartered Quality Institute, where she led the transformation of the organisation's financial infrastructure — building the planning, reporting, and control frameworks needed to support sustained growth. Prior to that, she held Financial Controller and senior audit roles at Catalyst Housing and BDO LLP respectively, where she developed the technical rigour and commercial instinct that define her approach.

At Eranos, Joanna works with business owners and leadership teams to bring genuine clarity to their financial position — identifying inefficiencies, strengthening reporting, and building the FP&A capability that gives founders and investors alike the confidence to make better decisions faster. She is a Fellow of the ICAEW and holds a postgraduate distinction in Charity Accounting and Finance from Cass Business School.

John is a go-to-market specialist with a track record of building and scaling SaaS revenue products for some of the most recognised names in the global insights industry. He spent six years at Savanta — one of the UK's leading data and research businesses — where he rose to Global Head of Vue Products, leading the commercial strategy and growth of BrandVue: a flagship SaaS tracking platform used by major brands and agencies worldwide to manage brand health and competitive intelligence at scale.

His work at Savanta encompassed the full product growth lifecycle — from positioning and pricing through to customer success, commercial partnerships, and international expansion. He has an instinctive understanding of what it takes to take a product from promising to indispensable, and has operated at senior director level across functions spanning marketing strategy, client services, and product leadership.

At Eranos, John brings that go-to-market expertise directly to bear for founders and business owners — helping them sharpen their product narrative, build scalable revenue architecture, and accelerate growth in competitive markets. He is particularly focused on the Insights sector, where his network and domain knowledge give Eranos clients a material commercial advantage.
