Who we are
The people behind the counsel
We work in small senior teams on a handful of engagements at a time - so the thinking stays sharp, and the partner you meet is the one who does the work.
Our story
We built the firm we could not hire
Palladio started in 2019, after twenty years of watching capable boards pay a great deal for careful advice that nobody could act on, and then quietly shelve it a quarter later.
We kept the parts that worked - a partner in the room, a fixed fee, the workings shown in full — and left behind the bench of juniors and the scope that quietly grows on you.
Mandates delivered across industrials, financial services and technology.
Years advising leadership teams through market entry, restructuring and succession.
Boards and founders advised, from owner-led businesses to listed groups.
Of clients extend past the first term, and nine in ten come back within two years.
Trusted across six sectors

Careers
We hire rarely and carefully
Every role here is senior, and every one of them is in the room. If you have run the meeting before, we would rather hear from you than from your recruiter.
Nothing that fits?
Write to us anyway. We have made a role for the right person more than once, and we would rather meet you early than not at all.
Insights
Things worth writing down
What we keep finding in boardrooms, written plainly and without a gate in front of it - no email wall, no download form, just the argument itself.
Six years of notes, published as we go.
Questions
Asked before you ask
The twelve things boards want to know before they call, answered the way we would answer them in the room.
Still not answered?
Ask it on the call. Thirty minutes, no commitment, and you get a straight answer either way.
