I've spent most of my career in the gap between strategy and what actually happens next.

I'm Apurva Shah — a strategy and transformation practitioner with 14+ years across EY, Deloitte, and defence-tech. I work with PE/VC funds, mid-market leadership teams, and corporate development functions to turn strategy into measurable commercial outcomes.

Now I run Aethon Ventures, a consulting practice built on one principle: bring the senior practitioner to the problem, not a brand name with junior teams.

What I'm doing now

Building, writing, advising

Scaling Aethon Ventures across PE value creation and transformation mandates. Publishing scenario-driven analysis on geopolitical risk and energy pricing for portfolio companies. Advising TMT and fintech clients on AI-enabled operating models.
