Senior advisory, shaped around
judgment, not bureaucracy
Scroll
Background
& Approach
MarcWhittaker advises a focused group of founder-led and family-owned businesses facing complex decisions.
We are typically brought in when the stakes are high, the path is not obvious, and internal perspectives alone are not enough.
We operate without layers, handovers, or diluted thinking.
We bring a suite of skill-sets to the table with a broad, integrated capability across finance, strategy, and execution.
Our role is not to produce analysis for its own sake, but to bring clarity to situations where decisions carry long-term consequences.
Global Posture
MarcWhittaker is led by Chris Saye, a former Big 4 partner with experience across transaction advisory, audit, and complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
His background spans cross-border work in Southeast Asia, Europe, US and beyond - advising founders, boards, and ownership groups through situations involving growth, restructuring, and transactions.
This experience informs a style that combines technical depth with practical judgement - navigating not only the numbers, but the people, incentives, and realities behind them.
Today, MarcWhittaker operates across geographies, with a focus on situations that require discretion, clarity, and senior-level involvement.
