Helping leaders turn strategy into impact

Leading a school, growing an EdTech company, or managing change in a complex organisation can be challenging to navigate alone. Azimuth provides expert strategic consultancy to help schools and education-focused teams bring clarity to complexity and momentum to their goals.

Through tailored support in leadership, learning, and performance, I help organisations build confidence and capacity, fostering cultures that are reflective, purposeful, and built for long-term impact.

Practical, collaborative, and shaped by lived experience, my approach turns strategy into sustainable progress.

How I can help

01. Digital strategy

World-class digital strategy consultancy, grounded in education, not devices. With almost two decades’ experience in senior leadership, I help schools design purposeful, sustainable digital strategies. Flexible, expert support without the cost of a full-time strategist. Because the real innovation is not technology, but better learning.

02. Schools & multi-academy trusts

Leadership coaching and consultancy that helps individuals, teams, and organisations navigate purposeful change. Grounded in evidence, guided by reflection, and driven by values, I support leaders to think clearly, act with intent, and build thriving learning communities. Flexible, expert support—tailored to your needs and rooted in coaching, not command. Because great leadership starts from within.

03. Corporate & non-education organisations

The best organisations never stop learning. I bring educational expertise to workplace challenges, helping teams rethink digital training, build strategic learning initiatives, and embed reflective, growth-oriented cultures.

04. Education businesses & EdTech companies

Bridging the gap between innovation and adoption, I help EdTech teams position their products more effectively within schools. From implementation design to educator training, I offer insight grounded in real classroom practice and senior leadership experience.

“José’s perspective cuts through the hype that can sometimes surround innovation in our field, advocating instead for technology that genuinely supports teachers and learners - not technology for its own sake.”
Harley RichardsonChief Product Officer, Ubongo Learning

“José has depth and breath of experience in school leadership and strategic business, and will give you a space to think and consider. Most importantly, he knows that whilst there might be a few quick wins, he also knows that school improvement and high-performance take time to nurture and space to grow.”
Mike BuchananDirector, Positively Leading, and former HMC Head

“José's work has always been a shining example to follow, not to mention his book that became my go-to "bible."”
