Background and Context
Casey went on to add; “Our initial plan was to actually start just as the two of us. We met Tony Nicol (CEO) in early 2024 to help validate our business ideas, but it was clear after our first conversation there was a lot of synergy. After Tony and Tim Mannah, (AUS New South Wales Lead), explained their plans for Vivanti, it was what you call a no-brainer. From the start, when we met Tony and Tim, we wanted to create a consultancy that stood for something more. We've all worked in great, fast-growing businesses, but when the exit event is solely based around selling the business, it can drive the wrong behaviours, purely focusing on the destination and not the journey. Our view, completely aligned with that of Tony and Tim, is that we can grow a sustainable business that truly gives our consultants the empowerment to grow, but just as important, the time and space to do that. Sam and I are both over the moon to finally get going – it's going to be a rollercoaster, but a journey we're excited to start.” “I’m looking forward to having the London office headed by such like-minded colleagues. It will be an exciting ride gathering the best technical talent to grow out Vivanti - a company built by Consultants, for Consultants.” Added Tony.
