I build order out of chaos.
My foundation was the paratroopers, where leadership meant making decisions, shaping plans, and driving execution under pressure. Today I carry that mindset into executive life, leading transformations, FDI strategies, and turnarounds across Europe, the GCC, and East Africa.
I founded Leverage Experts (LE) in Zurich. Today LE operates in Zurich, Frankfurt, Dubai, and Nairobi, guiding boards and investors through moments when the room turns quiet and decisions can no longer be postponed. Alongside practice, I lecture on FDI and corporate transformation, bridging academic research with scars from the field.
My concept of Situations of Rapid Change (SRC) captures these moments - when transformation accelerates faster than an organization can adapt. I operate where strategy stops being theory and becomes execution - aligning capital, leadership, and delivery to keep companies moving forward as markets shift faster than plans can hold. www.koljarafferty.com
