Growing companies navigate two simultaneous challenges: scaling the business fast, and building the leadership capability to sustain it. We help founders solve both. I've scaled a £12m business across eight markets. I understand what you're navigating. And I partner with certified leadership coaches to help your team develop the capability your growth demands.
We work with multinationals, large corporates and high-growth companies in India, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Organisations serious enough about scaling to invest in sustained coaching — not one-off training events.

Coaching for founders operating across multiple markets, cultures and regulatory contexts.

Essential for companies expanding internationally.
India's fastest-growing companies face a double bind: scaling the business fast, and building the leadership team to sustain it. Founders are navigating currency volatility, market complexity, operations across regions, scaling without inherited infrastructure. That's where business coaching makes the difference. I've done it. I understand what you're solving for.
I've built at scale. I understand the pressures your business faces — growth, complexity, managing across difference. I don't deliver generic programmes. I work with your context, your business, your actual challenges.
Our approach: sustained coaching (6 months minimum), founder clarity + team capability development, real-workplace focus, behaviour change and business outcomes measured.

Investment varies. A founder scaling their first leadership team budgets differently than an MNC preparing regional directors. Let's talk about what you're solving for — we'll be honest about whether we're the right fit.
India is our primary market. We're building expertise in Asia, Africa and the Middle East — each with its own character and approach.
From Singapore's mature coaching market to Southeast Asia's rapid growth, the region spans very different business contexts. We're focused on Singapore-based multinationals expanding across APAC and high-growth companies in Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia — typically at a premium engagement level.
Africa's business coaching market is early-stage, which means first-mover advantage alongside real infrastructure challenges. The strongest opportunities are in public sector transformation, fintech and telecoms. South Africa is the natural entry point, with regional expansion to follow as partnerships develop.
The coaching market is growing here, driven by economic diversification and the professionalisation of family businesses. Cultural context shapes every engagement — we're building this through local partnerships rather than a remote model.
Converge Global helps founders scale their businesses AND build the leadership teams that sustain scaling. Founded by Michael Costello — a UK-based business builder with 25+ years scaling operations across multiple markets — and partnering with certified leadership coaches. We don't sell frameworks or theory. We help founders and their teams navigate real complexity.
Michael founded and scaled Oak Automobile Ltd to £12 million across eight international markets. That experience taught him something most consultants don't know: what complexity actually does to a business — and how coaching fixes it. Currency volatility, cultural difference, decision-making with incomplete information, building trust when you've never met someone face-to-face. These aren't abstract challenges. They're the daily reality of scaling founders.
That's why Converge Global exists. Not to sell workshops or frameworks. But to coach founders who are navigating real complexity. Who need to inspire teams across borders. Who believe how you scale matters as much as how fast you grow.
We are practical, grounded, and values-driven. We don't deliver theory. We deliver coaching that sticks — because we've lived it.
