Meet Paraag Amin

Paraag Amin spent three decades in public markets, the C-suite and the boardroom, including Goldman Sachs and Citi. A CFA charterholder, he has raised over a billion in equity across his career and held every chair in a business, from analyst to CFO, COO and CEO, to the board seat. As a lead analyst and corporate broker he took technology companies public, including Wolfson Microelectronics and EEMS, and advised acquirers such as GB Group and Smurfit Kappa. As CFO of dotdigital Group, an AIM-listed plc, he led the Comapi acquisition and its integration. Across private technology companies he has sat as CFO, COO and CTO, raised equity from seed to Series B, and turned a loss-making business profitable in three months.

At forty, a type 2 diabetes diagnosis forced the question he had been professionally excellent at avoiding: what was actually running underneath the high-functioning surface, and how much longer it could run before something broke. He came off all medication within three months. The longer rebuild that followed took years, and mattered more. The diagnosis was the entry point. The question it surfaced was the real shift.

In the years since, Paraag has built a private mentoring practice for entrepreneurs ready to take their business to its next stage. They arrive from four positions but with one practical thing in common. Most are founders who have built a real, scaling business and want its next stage without it running entirely through them. Others are senior executives and partners weighing what the next ten years are for, performers thinking about what follows a career built on one thing, and people still climbing who want to choose the path rather than inherit it.

What they share is one underlying thing in different shapes. The way they have been operating built the current stage, and the next one asks for something different. The plan and the person running it move together, and the work treats them as one. The practice runs at deliberately small scale, around a dozen clients at a time, through three phases. A Diagnostic that maps how the business and the person both operate and finds the one thing most holding the next stage back. A Reset that restores the clarity and capacity to decide well. A Rebuild that redesigns the strategy and the way it is run, so the business moves into its next stage and keeps growing. Alongside strategy, finance and operations, Paraag draws on a set of less obvious instruments, including psychology, Vedic astrology, Human Design and energy work, used as working tools rather than belief systems, because together they surface patterns faster and more accurately than self-report alone.

The practice is based in London, and clients work with Paraag from across the world. The first conversation is a thirty-minute private call. By the end you will know what is holding the next stage back and what working together would look like.
