Business consulting that puts your context first.
Many tools can give you common knowledge. We bring the insight, experience, and independence to make that knowledge work for your business — bespoke, collaborative, and focused on results.

We chose the name deliberately. Common knowledge is everywhere — AI tools, frameworks, and textbooks can surface it in seconds. Uncommon knowledge is something different.
Uncommon Knowledge is what happens when deep experience, genuine independence, and real curiosity meet your specific situation. It's not generic advice applied to your business — it's thinking shaped by your context, your people, and your goals.
Founded in New Zealand, we work with business leaders who want a trusted partner to help them think clearly, plan boldly, and act decisively. Every engagement is bespoke. Every recommendation is independent. Every conversation is one we'd want to have ourselves.
No off-the-shelf solutions. Every engagement is shaped around your unique situation and objectives.
No agendas beyond your success. We tell you what we think, not what you want to hear.
We work with you, not at you. The best answers come from genuine partnership.
We look for what's possible. Practical optimism and constructive challenge go hand in hand.
We work across the areas where strategy, leadership, governance, and commercial reality intersect — because that's where the real work gets done.
Helping you get clear on where you're going and how you'll get there. From strategic direction-setting to practical roadmaps, we help you build plans that are ambitious, grounded, and executable.
Confidential, independent support for leaders navigating complexity. Whether you're stepping into a new role, working through a significant challenge, or simply want a trusted thinking partner — we're here.
Building the structures, disciplines, and frameworks that allow organisations to perform at their best. From board effectiveness to business model design, we help you govern and operate with clarity.
Practical commercial advice grounded in real business experience. Whether it's deal structuring, commercial negotiations, pricing strategy, or revenue model design, we bring rigour and pragmatism in equal measure.
Uncommon Knowledge is built on the quality of the people we bring to each engagement. That means deep expertise, genuine care, and real commercial experience.
Gareth is an owner and principal consultant of Uncommon Knowledge. With a career spanning strategy, governance, executive leadership, and commercial advisory, he brings the kind of hard-won experience that only comes from doing the work — not just advising on it.
He founded Uncommon Knowledge because he believed businesses need alternatives to more generic consulting. Every client gets his genuine attention, honest perspective, and commitment to making real things happen.
