Our Story & Our Mission
We have over 40 years combined experience working in and alongside SMEs and enterprises, helping leadership teams build capability, deliver strategic projects, support growth and generally improve performance KPI's.
Over time, we realised a consistent challenge that many organisations have is ambition doesnt materialise into outcomes. Especially in SME's, we see strong people and real business potential, but the strategic skills and expertise are frequently not considered a requirement.
In our experience, businesses mistake desired outcomes as strategies. Scenarios such as:
- We want to grow revenue by 40%
- We want to launch a new business division to specialise in X and add 30% new revenue
Corvanta Solutions was created to help businesses identify if and how the desired outcomes are achieved by implementing clearer direction, stronger planning and more confident decision-making.
We believe organisations achieve more when they understand their core advantage, set the right priorities and apply disciplined strategic thinking to the decisions that matter most. We want to bring a senior, independent perspective that helps leadership teams sharpen direction, strengthen planning, and turn strategy into focused, practical action.
Leadership
Corvanta is led by Michael Keane and Tara McLaughlin.
Michael brings strength in strategy, commercial direction and growth. His experience spans business development, strategic planning and advisory support, including consulting work with national critical infrastructure transport operators on business cases and transformation plans. His Executive MBA further strengthened this foundation, including exposure to international strategy through study and business experience in Vietnam, Silicon Valley, Israel, Palestine, and the wider Middle East.
Tara brings strength in brand, communication, growth support and people-centred business development. Her experience includes working closely with public sector stakeholders, including the Department for Education, alongside building strong capability in leadership, communication and organisational support. Her Level 7 qualification in Leadership and Management reflects a commitment to practical, effective leadership.
Together, we combine strategic, commercial and people-focused capability.
Our wider experience includes helping to establish and grow a successful business in the Netherlands delivering contracts across Europe, as well as ongoing exposure to complex client environments including policing, airports, rail, housing associations and combined authorities.

If you are ready to focus, improve planning and prepare effectively for change, we will bring the discipline to achieve tangible progress.
Our mission is to support the SMEs who will make the leap and lead the way forward in their markets.
