Minerva

Minerva is a people decisions firm that helps founder-led companies get a better return on their investment in people. As businesses grow, people become their largest expense - and often their biggest source of risk. We help CEOs make high-stakes decisions about leadership, organisational design, and talent so they can build companies that scale with greater clarity and confidence. Our work spans executive hiring, leadership architecture, and organizational decision-making, always with one goal: ensuring every people decision creates measurable business value. Usually, founders, CEOs and boards reach out to us when: They're ready to build their leadership team but don't know who the right hire would be They promoted their best individual contributors to managerial and leadership roles and now they're not performing They scaled fast and culture, processes and performance has suddenly broken - the team is slower, friction is higher and nothing is moving the needle Their best team members are leaving and they don't know why They want to find out if they're making the most of their HR budget, where the possible leaks are and what fix will actually show up in the P&L They found an HR software but it didn't solve the problem because the software is only as good as the input it gets.
