What we do
Advice built around the decision in front of you.
Focused engagements can address one defined question or stay alongside a wider strategic process—from initial analysis and board preparation through negotiation and execution.
M&A and transactions
Confidential preparation and decision support for acquisitions, disposals, due diligence, transaction structuring, negotiation and other strategic corporate events.
Strategic consultancy
Independent, ethically grounded analysis for boards, owners and management teams working through growth, transformation, complexity or competing priorities.
AI strategy and projects
Practical advice on AI opportunities, operating models, product concepts, governance and implementation—connected to commercial objectives and accountable decision-making.
Selected experience
Transaction and leadership experience behind the advice.
The following selected experience reflects the professional track record brought to Prima Ordia across consulting, finance, audit, legal, technology and board work. It does not imply that every engagement was undertaken under the Prima Ordia name.
Buy-side acquisition
Advised a purchaser on an agricultural cattle-station acquisition, including commercial and financial analysis, due diligence, structuring and stakeholder coordination.
Dual M&A takeover
Advised the target and subsequent purchaser in the takeover of a Las Vegas resort and casino group.
Fintech growth and exit
Led fundraising and market launch from initial investment through to a US$150m market capitalisation and subsequent exit.

Built and led distributed teams while developing senior client, investor and adviser relationships across finance, technology and regulated sectors.
Institutional and sector exposure
Experience across complex and regulated environments.
Professional experience has included work involving Morgan Stanley, AXA, Boeing and Wynn Hotels, alongside financial institutions, government-related organisations and businesses across property, aviation, hospitality, agribusiness and technology.
Governance and execution

Experience includes cross-border structures, joint ventures and investment vehicles; board papers and executive presentations; governance and compliance frameworks; cyber-security education; and senior board and advisory responsibilities.
AI and emerging technology
Practical AI projects, governed with business judgement.
AI is treated as a strategic and operating question—not a novelty. The starting point is the business outcome, the information involved, the risks that need to be controlled and the people accountable for the result.

When we can help
Bring structure to a decision before momentum takes over.
- A transaction is being considered, prepared or negotiated.
- Capital is required and the available routes need to be compared clearly.
- A board or owner needs an independent view before committing.
- Financial information must become a credible, decision-ready story.
- An AI investment, product or operating model needs commercial and governance scrutiny.
- A complex initiative needs disciplined analysis, stakeholder alignment and attentive execution.
