Everything I do has a social impact lens. Everything.

Strategy, structure, story and systems — for founders, boards, NFPs and organisations that want their work to actually change something. Built on a decade of founding, a global systems-change network, and a habit of seeing what others won't say.

Everything else

Keynotes, workshops, red-team sessions, embedded advisory and longer engagements are scoped to the work — every one starts with a conversation about whether it will actually matter.

Strategy & systems

Systems change & strategy

Systemic design, post-extractive business models and theory of change — informed by direct work with the global systemic-investing community.

Process design & efficiency

Finding the unintended inefficiency that undermines fairness and performance, and designing it out.

Red-team analysis

Your plan, stress-tested by someone whose specialty is saying what everyone else is too polite to. Strategy, comms, deals and structures.

Startup structuring for social impact

Ownership, governance and capital structures that protect the mission — capped returns, steward ownership, community ownership — designed with lawyers who've done it.


Founders & boards

Founder advisory

Raising, ethics under pressure, resilience, and the decisions nobody prepares you for — from a founder who's faced most of them.

Fintech & financial services

Product and commercial strategy from the person who registered Australia's first retail derivative fund and put the first fully managed retail investment product on the app stores.

AI for founders

Practical AI enablement for small teams — what to automate, what to never automate, and how to get leverage without losing your voice.

AI for mature-aged folks

Patient, jargon-free AI coaching that meets people where they are — dignity first.


Story & community

Strategic comms & narrative

Positioning and storytelling that cuts through — the playbook that earned Maslow 6.1 million organic impressions and thousands of waitlist signups in a year, without a cent of ad spend.

Writing strategy

Op-ed and thought-leadership strategy for founders and executives: what to say, where to say it, and how to survive saying it.

Brand voice & content

Making organisations sound like humans people trust — and keeping them consistent as they grow.

Community organising, engagement & stakeholder work

Building genuine communities around missions, and engagement processes that stakeholders don't see through — because there's nothing to see through.


How it works

Short and sharp, or long and deep. Engagements run from a single red-team session or narrative workshop to embedded advisory over months. Every engagement starts with a conversation about whether the work will actually matter.

If your project doesn't have a social impact dimension, Kane will probably still find one. That's rather the point.

"Kane has a gift for cutting through to the stuff that matters… down-to-earth and accessible, with a long view towards shaping economies of care. He also has a wicked sense of humour."
Donna Nelham — founder, Unstitution
"It's an honour to work with you. I'm in awe of the simple elegance of the solution you've created."

"Business is really just leadership, psychology and logistics."
