How we work

Deri Hughes
Meet the expert
Deri is a consultant turned operator. He spent many years at top strategy consulting firm Bain & Company, and subsequently built his own practice supporting corporates & private equity to maximise value in deal environments.
More recently, he was CFOO of Credo Business Consulting where he built the operations team from scratch - learning many valuable lessons along the way!
