From fundraising to M&A diligence, we bring financial rigour to the moments that matter most — so founders and boards can decide with confidence.

How we work
We begin by listening — deeply. Understanding your organisation, its people, constraints, and ambitions before forming a single recommendation.
The right question is often more valuable than a fast answer. We invest in framing precisely, so our analysis addresses what matters.
Rigorous analysis meets practical judgment. We stress-test ideas, model scenarios, and build recommendations your leadership team can stand behind.
We stay engaged through implementation — not as spectators but as partners. Accountability for outcomes, not just advice.
Why Meridian
We are former operators and advisors who have sat across the table from your decisions before — at Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, and the growth-stage companies we helped scale. We bring that experience without the overhead, without the junior bench, and without the conflicts of a multi-practice firm.
The partnership
Managing Partner
Former Principal, McKinsey & Company · MBA, Harvard Business School
Eleanor founded Meridian following 12 years at McKinsey, where she led growth strategy engagements for technology and consumer companies across North America and Europe. She specialises in competitive positioning and board-level strategic planning.
Partner, Financial Advisory
Former VP, Goldman Sachs TMT · CFA · Wharton School
Marcus brings deep capital markets expertise to complex financing and M&A situations. Over a decade at Goldman Sachs, he advised growth-stage companies on over $6B in transactions. He leads Meridian's financial advisory practice.
Client perspective
Meridian didn't just deliver a strategy deck — they changed how we think about our market. The rigor and the candor were exceptional. We made better decisions as a result.
Sarah Kimura
CEO, Fieldstone Health
Health Technology · Series B
We hired Meridian ahead of our Series C. Their financial modelling and investor narrative work was the difference between a good round and a great one. Precise, fast, and trusted advisors.
James Okonkwo
Co-founder & CFO, Sable Logistics
Logistics Technology · Series C
What sets Eleanor's team apart is that they have real opinions. Not consensus thinking — genuine conviction, backed by analysis. That's rare at any firm, and exactly what we needed.
