Growth that feels good
Experienced growth leadership, embedded in your team
Fractional growth leadership for organisations navigating growth and change.
Gather & Grow is a collective of fractional growth leaders, strategists, coaches and facilitators.
We join your leadership team for three months to a year, bringing strategic direction and hands-on support to the priorities that matter now. Together, we clarify where you’re going, build shared ownership and turn plans into practical progress.
At a certain scale, the leadership gap becomes visible.
Growth brings opportunity, complexity and pressure.
The strategy may need sharpening. Operations need to keep pace. Important priorities require clear ownership. Meanwhile, senior leaders are balancing the direction of the organisation with the everyday work of keeping people aligned and progress moving.
There are moments when you need experienced leadership capacity for a particular chapter. Someone who can see the wider picture, bring clarity to the work and stay close enough to help deliver it.
We step into that gap as fractional growth leaders. For a defined period, we become part of your leadership team, take ownership of agreed outcomes and work alongside your people to move them forward.
That is the work we do.
HOW WE WORKOne partnership. Two ways to move the work forward.
Every partnership begins with the outcomes you need to create.
Sometimes that means adding experienced leadership capacity for several months. Sometimes it means beginning with a focused strategy or leadership journey. Both can become part of a longer-term partnership shaped around your organisation, your team and the chapter you’re navigating.
Fractional growth leadership
Senior leadership capacity for the work that matters now.
A fractional leader joins your organisation for a defined period, usually between three months and a year.
We become part of your existing rhythms, relationships and ways of working. We join leadership conversations, take ownership of agreed priorities and work alongside your team to deliver what needs doing.
Our support can include shaping and leading growth strategy, strengthening operations, guiding cross-functional priorities, supporting organisational change and coaching leaders through the work.
You gain a trusted leadership partner who can hold the strategy, make decisions and roll up their sleeves when delivery needs momentum.
Growth strategy and leadership development
Focused journeys that create clarity and shared ownership.
Our core programmes help leadership teams work through a specific growth or leadership challenge together.
The Growth Map is a focused strategy process that helps your leadership team understand what is creating friction, decide what matters most and turn it into a practical 90-day plan.
The Empowered Leadership Journey helps leaders develop the habits, conversations and shared ways of working that create greater ownership across the organisation.
These journeys can stand alone or become the starting point for a longer fractional partnership, with ongoing support to put the work into practice.
Strategy and delivery, held together.
Our best work happens when we can stay close to the organisation as plans meet reality.
A longer engagement gives us the space to build trust, understand how the team works and respond as new challenges emerge. We can move between strategic thinking, facilitation, coaching and hands-on delivery while keeping the wider direction in view.
The shape of the partnership stays flexible. The intention remains clear: to build stronger priorities, greater ownership and sustainable momentum across your team.
Where is the friction? Start here.
You may know the organisation needs support without knowing which kind will be most useful.
Our five-minute Holistic Growth Check-In offers a quick read across five connected areas of organisational growth. It helps you notice where momentum is being lost and where experienced support could make the greatest difference.
What you’ll get:
A clearer view of which area may be limiting growth
A sense of where misalignment is costing time, energy or trust
A short set of next steps shaped around your current stage
A useful starting point for deciding what support you need
Meet your fractional growth leaders
Gather & Grow is led by Anique Coffee and Leah Zalinski.
Together, we bring commercial growth strategy and operational leadership into one partnership. We help organisations choose the right direction, build the structures and ownership to support it, and stay close enough to help make the work happen.
When the engagement calls for wider expertise, we draw on a trusted collective of strategists, coaches and facilitators.
Anique Coffee
Fractional Head of Growth, growth strategist and coach
Anique is a fractional Head of Growth with 15 years of experience helping organisations turn growth ambitions into commercial progress. Her work brings together sales, marketing and customer experience with the leadership, culture and operating rhythms teams need to deliver well.
Across high-growth technology businesses and more than 20 client organisations, Anique has led go-to-market strategy, demand generation, revenue marketing and cross-functional growth programmes. Today, she works alongside founders and executive teams as an embedded growth leader.
Anique helps teams clarify where growth will come from, align sales and marketing around shared priorities, and build the ownership and leadership capacity to carry the work forward. She is equally comfortable shaping the strategy, coaching the people responsible for it and rolling up her sleeves to help make it happen.
Leah Zalinski
Fractional COO, operations leader and change strategist
Leah is a change management strategist and fractional COO with 20 years in agency operations. Where most people see operational complexity, Leah sees a clarity problem waiting to be solved.
She builds the structures, rhythms, and decision-making practices that let teams carry the work with genuine confidence rather than routing everything through one person. The same qualities she brings to organisations, she brings into the room: structure that sticks, and the kind of directness that makes the harder conversations feel possible.
