THE APPROACH

Strategy is only the beginning.

From the boardroom to implementation, I take a personal, hands-on approach to the mandates I accept.

One senior partner. Direct involvement. Clear accountability.

ABOUT

Strategy in the boardroom.
Ownership in the field.

Remya Onattu
Founder, Governaissance

My career spans international management consulting, financial services, technology and industrial development across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

At Accenture and Simon-Kucher, I developed my foundation in strategy and transformation. At ARISE IIP, as Chief of Staff and Head of Strategic Initiatives, I worked directly on CEO priorities, institutional partnerships and the execution of complex international programmes.

Today, I combine that experience with independent strategic judgment and hands-on leadership to help organisations advance their most important mandates.

Let's move what matters.
