A Note from our Founder
“In over 25 years of advising boards and leading digital transformations, I have seen a consistent pattern: many organisations treat technology as a cost centre rather than a strategic driver. A disconnect between high-level vision and operational reality often stalls critical change.
I founded Galvin Advisory to bridge this gap. We don’t just offer abstract advice; we provide seasoned perspectives born from decades of navigating complex organisational challenges. Our mission is to move beyond basic integration and foster a digitally fluent, adaptive culture that can withstand the evolving risks of the modern landscape.
Whether acting as an interim leader or a strategic advisor, my goal remains the same: to provide the decisive guidance and hands-on leadership needed to deliver rapid value with the confidence that only deep experience can provide."
