Based in South Africa, serving leaders in the US, UK, and South Africa. Not coaching. Structural advisory with measurable results.

## About Brendan Levin

Brendan served as Managing Director of a VC-backed fintech, running the turnaround that grew revenue 150% and lifted EBITDA margins from 15% to 30%. He has led teams of 600+ people, worked with more than 200 businesses, and built his own business from scratch. He now works privately with a small number of executives at a time, helping them install the operating structure their expanded role demands.

His methodology, The Momentum Engine, is built on three pillars: Direction, Decisions, and Delivery. It was developed under real operational pressure across 20+ years in senior roles, not from research or frameworks.

## The Momentum Engine Methodology

The Momentum Engine is a complete operating model built on three forces every executive role runs on:

1. **Direction** (Pillar 1, delivered via The Private Role Reset): Clarity on the strategic mandate, the Executive Compass, and the First Domino. This is where a stalled role unblocks fastest.
2. **Decisions** (Pillar 2): Where decisions start resolving below the executive, not routing back up.
3. **Delivery** (Pillar 3): Where work moves through the team instead of through the executive.

The Private Role Reset delivers Pillar 1 standalone in four weeks. A continuation (The Momentum Engine Accelerator) builds Pillars 2 and 3 for those who want to keep going.

## Ideal Client Profile

- First-time VPs, Directors, or senior executives
- 0 to 18 months into the expanded role
- Scope has outgrown their operating structure
- Decisions routing back to them, progress stalling without their presence, delegation creating rework
- Working harder than ever but influence shrinking
- B2B, SaaS, tech, media, or manufacturing background preferred
- US, UK, or South Africa based
