DEVA NAIDU
Founder of The + Group
Above all things I am dedicated to activating people’s strengths, to help create positive leaders. To help
build business services firms and sustainable communities.
I am a passionate advocate and supporter of entrepreneurs, as they are the lifeblood of any
economy. Dreamers, change makers, that sacrifice so very much to help create a new paradigm. Yet many entrepreneurs never achieve full financial freedom.
That is why I help CEOs and Managing Directors of business services firms achieve financial and operational stability, scale and wealth via M&A, innovative capital events, joint ventures and IPOs.
Over 25 years experience with leadership roles in the
UK, Ireland and AsiaPac. Previously a Country Manager for a boutique private equity firm and Country Head
for a global talent consultancy. Launched over 17 successful financial and business services
companies and products. Instrumental in building a €100m recruitment group and winning €21 million in
new revenue in 18 months.
Read Executive Finance at the University of Oxford.
Leadership at Henley Business School UK,
Management at the Irish Management Institute, Ireland and Drama at University of Melbourne, Australia.
Studied Applied Positive Psychology and qualified as a Coach with Dr Robert Biswas - Diener.
I started my working life as an actor and was a self defense instructor for 1 day. (Ask me what happened)!
