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)!
