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)!
