We help CEOs, CHROs & CLOs with leadership, talent and culture transformation when the stakes are high, through real choices and real decisions in the moments that matter.
Senior advisors who have sat where our clients sit.
Our leadership team brings decades of experience inside organisations, alongside CEOs, CHROs and leadership teams. Together with our global faculty of 50+ senior practitioners across 36 countries, we bring deep expertise, local context and real-world experience to every client.
We call it OneDNA. Different experiences, perspectives and strengths. One team around the client.
Different by design
There is no single mould for a DNA facilitator/coach.
Our people come from different countries, cultures, careers, disciplines and life experiences. Some have led businesses. Some are psychologists, coaches or behavioural scientists. Some have spent their careers inside organisations; others have advised them. What connects us is curiosity, character, generosity and the confidence to bring our whole selves to the work.
Personal energy & personality
Beyond content and expertise, our people bring themselves. Energy, warmth, character and presence matter. We want clients to feel the person behind the expertise — someone who can connect, challenge, read the room and bring the work to life.
The DNA Experience
You get the best of us, not just the person in the room.
Behind every engagement is the collective experience of our wider DNA community. We share what we are seeing, challenge one another’s thinking and bring the right expertise in when it matters. No silos. No protecting territory. Just one team focused on doing great work for the client.
Relationships that last
We stay close.
Many of our client relationships have lasted years, across roles, organisations and different chapters of leadership. The same is true of our own people. We know each other beyond the work. We challenge each other, laugh together, disagree, support one another and stay connected. That trust shows up in how we work with clients too.

The book behind the approach
CorporateDNA: How Great Companies Build What Competitors Can't Copy and clients want to emulate
What if the greatest competitive advantage isn't your strategy, products or technology, but your organisational DNA?
Drawing on nearly two decades of advising CEOs and executive teams around the world, Rhea Leckie reveals the principles behind organisations that consistently outperform, adapt and endure.
More than a leadership book, this is the story of how a boutique consultancy scaled through financial crises, wars and a global pandemic by intentionally building a CorporateDNA that clients now seek to emulate. Blending real-world leadership stories with a practical framework, the book explores how culture, leadership, decision-making and human behaviour become an organisation's greatest source of resilience and growth.
For leaders who want to build companies that thrive through uncertainty, not just survive it. This is a blueprint for creating a legacy that lasts.
“There is a true leader in all of us and Rhea Duttagupta insightfully reminds us that our own unique qualities combined with crucible earning moments and some humility can unlock the inner compass for a meaningful and rewarding life.”
“Whoever we are each one of us faces a moment which calls on us to lead. This book prepares us for those moments.”
“Origins and roots are important. If you can't remember and respect where you have come from, it's hard to drive where you are going.”
“Attitude, Belief, Creativity and Instincts, being ingredients we are born with, create closer human connections releasing the natural leadership in us all.”
What is changing, and where does leadership need to go?
