EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP CONSULTANCY & COACHING

Growth ↔ Governance ↔ Culture

Structured executive leadership for private and public sector organisations seeking stronger governance, performance, and sustainable growth.

ACCESS LEADERSHIP DIAGNOSTICS

EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP GROWTH, GOVERNANCE AND CULTURE

At London Business Network, we believe growth, governance, and culture need not be competing propositions. We believe they are complementary dimensions of organisational performance.


Delivered through London Leadership Review, in partnership with London Business Network, our Principals, Wilford Augustus and Lori Ann Powell, bring decades of international, commercial, and UK elected office experience to the fore, delivering world-class executive leadership and performance consultancy and coaching for senior leaders in both business and government.


I. International Experience 


With combined experience across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, Augustus and Powell bring perspectives from distinct cultural, commercial, and geopolitical jurisdictions to leadership challenges across complex global environments.


II. Commercial Experience


Their extensive cross-sector experience includes working with EY, Xe, Santander-backed growth ventures, IKEA, Kimberly-Clark, the United Nations, LVMH, Harrods, Tiffany & Co., and a host of SMEs.


III. Elected and Civic Office Experience


Augustus also draws on elected office experience as Former Mayor of Chesham, Buckinghamshire, England, political acumen from the City of Westminster, London, and international experience supporting government-backed investment promotion agencies from around the world, seeking bilateral trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) between the UK and international markets.


Combined Experience


Combining private-sector leadership with public-sector insight, Augustus and Powell bring complementary perspectives to organisational performance. 


Together, their shared proposition connects the executive leadership dots across: Growth ↔ Governance ↔ Culture.

Core Question: How do we grow and govern organisations that outperform the competition to drive sustainable growth?


Background


Operating from London, England, and serving a global audience, Wilford Augustus is a fractional AI-Ready Board Adviser & Executive Leadership Coach to businesses and governments, specialising in cross-border growth and governance advisory. 


Driving growth when it matters most, Augustus helps mid-market businesses (£3M–£100M) scale and governments attract bilateral trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) across UK-anchored Global Economic Corridors. 


Deploying an integrated growth model and decision-making framework, Augustus derisks complexity, enhances efficiency, and builds outcome-led growth and governance systems that create value across four distinct mandates: Leadership • Revenue • Digital • International Markets. 


These four mandates, Leadership, Revenue, Digital, and International Markets, correspond to four organisational growth outcomes: Leadership Growth, Top-line Growth, Bottom-line Growth, and International Growth.


With international experience servicing multinationals across the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Americas, including EY, Santander-backed growth ventures, Kimberly-Clark, the United Nations, cross-border FDI agencies, and a host of SMEs, and as Founder & Director of the London Business Network Ecosystem™, Augustus brings proven commercial experience to the fore.


Drawing upon a wealth of public sector insight and political acumen from the City of Westminster, London, together with elected office experience as Former Mayor of Chesham, Buckinghamshire, England, Augustus helps clients create civic impact, engage in public-private partnerships, and make complex decisions, including under public scrutiny. 


As an Executive Leadership Coach Augustus' principal lens is how organisations govern complexity, make better decisions, create value, and achieve outperformance and sustainable growth.
