    Our Story

    The gap between strategy and delivery.

    Peter founded Red Mountain because he kept seeing the same gap. Organisations with strong leadership and good ideas, but a disconnect between the strategy and the people who needed to deliver it. The thinking was often sound. The challenge was making it happen.

    Too often, strategy is developed at a distance from the teams who will carry it forward. By the time it reaches them, it feels like something that has been done to them rather than with them. Ownership is low, momentum fades, and the work quietly stalls.

    We built Red Mountain around one idea. The people closest to the problem are closest to the solution. Our role is to bring the structure, facilitation, and focus that helps your teams get to the right answers themselves.

    What Our Clients Say
    "

    The Red Mountain team was a pleasure to work with. They have a very professional approach, effectively teasing out ideas, winning over others, and building relationships with stakeholders. I really enjoyed all our interactions and felt genuinely listened to and heard as part of these. The product was creative, innovative, energising, and strategic.

    The intrapreneur programme Red Mountain ran enabled us to pivot from a transactional service model to a consultancy approach. It was highly engaging and output-focused throughout.

    Peter Cleary
    Founder and Managing Director

    Peter Cleary

    Peter has spent 20+ years helping organisations get unstuck. Before founding Red Mountain, he led innovation programmes across the public and private sectors, working with teams at every level from frontline staff to senior leadership. He has delivered over 350 engagements and brings a practitioner's understanding of what it takes to move a room from uncertainty to commitment. He still gets energy from watching a room full of sceptics turn into a team with a plan.
