Who we are
We’ve spent our professional lives deep within the corporate world. The human experience of business is crying out for a reboot.

Murray’s craft is finding stories that connect people and inspire change. A diverse management career at JP Morgan taught him about human spirit, but also how much we lose by constraining it. The global financial crisis was a wakeup call for Murray, that highlighted just how disconnected the finance industry had become from its social contract.
Years in strategy, transformation and business management made Murray effective at the ‘head’ stuff, but also taught him just how inhibited and undervalued the ‘heart’ stuff was.

“At a time when society is looking to find a better balance between people, planet and profit, Wading Herons is bringing much needed new ideas to the corporate world. Micael is a unique communicator, connector and deep thinker who is really at the forefront of better business, sustainability and climate change strategy.”

Murray Brown
Over a 20 year career with JP Morgan, complex change was a constant backdrop. Leading business strategy, transformation and COO teams, I also advocated for greater social responsibility, employee impact, and ESG principle adoption.
I now work with leaders navigating their own business transformation and complex change scenarios.
