Why Setu Advisory
A boutique firm, built around senior attention.
Setu Advisory is currently staffed entirely by Tom Schneider. That means for every project, you get direct access to Tom — the person designing your strategy is the same person who sees it through, with no juniors and no handing off to a delivery team once the proposal is signed. If a piece of work genuinely needs more than one person, Tom will say so upfront and discuss your requirements with you, drawing on a small network of trusted associates rather than scaling up a team you haven't met.
How Tom works
- Evidence-based. Recommendations are grounded in analysis, not assumptions or unsubstantiated opinions.
- International perspective. Tom has worked with US large corporations, global development agencies, UK government departments and private sector organisations scaling in emerging and mature markets.
- Built to outlast us. We focus on embedding new ways of working and building our clients' own capability, so the change holds long after we've left.
