Chiron Impact Consulting
Chiron Impact Consulting was founded by Ellie Boulstridge and is headed by Simone O'Donovan.
​
Ellie's existing businesses, Chiron Hotel Consulting and Chiron Lifestyle Consulting, each complement Chiron Impact Consulting, allowing her to take impact-led clients at cost - with no added profit.
While assisting owner-run businesses in the creative industries and boutique hotel and travel companies, Ellie's strong desire to serve organisations and individuals that are working to create positive impact is realised with Chiron Impact Consulting.
​
Simone brings with her over a decade of experience working with social businesses, nonprofits, impact entrepreneurs and grassroots communities, and has a particular interest in topics such as climate change, sustainability, gender equality and education.
​
Chiron is a centaur from classical antiquity known for his practical guidance and wisdom. In a poem by Hesiod he offered Achilles advice prior to the Trojan War.
​​
We firmly believe that owners know their organisations best of all. Chiron Impact Consulting is here to help with advice and implementation to compliment existing offerings. We care about our clients and want them to be the best they can be and leave a meaningful legacy.
