Nathaniel Forsythe
Founder

Nathaniel Forsythe spent seven years as a senior strategy adviser at Meridian Infrastructure Partners in Bristol before founding MindWave CoreVault in autumn 2019. He trained originally as an organisational psychologist at the University of Exeter, then spent three years at a management consultancy in Edinburgh before moving in-house. The decision to go independent came after one too many strategy days that produced a great deal of energy and very little clarity. He works from a small office in Bristol, starts every morning with a walk along the Avon before the city wakes up, and keeps a running notebook of questions he has not yet answered. He reads slowly and on purpose.
