Project Management and D&I Consultancy for Startups and SMEs | Z-twist consulting

Our services

Z-Twist is a specialist intervention firm led by a senior operator with over two decades of experience stabilising high-risk delivery in regulated and capital-sensitive environments.

The work has spanned SaaS, healthtech, housing, legal technology, and portfolio-owned software businesses, often at the point where delivery confidence is eroding, but visible failure has not yet occurred.

Z-Twist is known for restoring control rather than prescribing transformation, clarity over optimism and for operating calmly in situations where reputations, capital, and regulatory standing are already exposed.

Engagements are typically initiated through executive, investor, or board referral.
