Strategic Mentoring for Alumni 10-Session Growth Package

Strategic Mentoring for Alumni 10-Session Growth Package

Arianna Cerrito
Strategic Consultant and Business Mentor
StartUpAndRise

Strategic mentoring for founders who’ve completed the Help to Grow Management Course and want to continue their growth journey with focused, high level guidance grounded in execution, without the pressure of a full-time retainer.


I'm an award-winning business mentor (National Mentoring Matters Award 2025) with over 20 years of experience on the client side, including senior leadership roles in global corporations and founder-led SMEs. I’ve supported founders across multiple sectors, from £250k turnover to £20M+, to lead with clarity, restructure teams, refine pricing models, and scale without burning out.


Through my proprietary frameworks, The P.A.C.I.N.G. Principle™ and The Quiet Edge™, I help founders implement meaningful change where it matters most.


What’s included:



  • 10x 60-minute 1:1 strategy sessions, to be used over 4 months

  • Fully tailored to your business: pricing, systems, leadership, growth strategy, team, etc.

  • In-depth follow-up materials after each session:
    ▸ Personalised action steps
    ▸ Frameworks, templates, and strategic tools
    ▸ Suggested implementation tasks between sessions

  • Optional voice/email check-ins for accountability


What it’s not:


This is not philosophical or surface-level coaching. It's grounded in real business application, whether you’re building systems, reworking your pricing model, or getting ready to grow your team. You’ll leave each session with clarity and concrete next steps.


Investment & Payment:



  • Total: £1,950 + VAT

  • Pay in full or via flexible blocks:
    ▸ Start with 3 sessions upfront (£585 + VAT)
    ▸ Continue in blocks of 2 or 3 sessions
    ▸ All 10 sessions must be used within 4 months


Who it’s for:


If you’ve completed the Help to Grow Management Course, and are looking for expert strategic support that moves you from insight to execution, this is your next step.

I’m a Sustainable Business Growth Expert and award-winning Business Mentor, recognised for my contribution to scaling a £20M business and featured in The Times and Forbes. I bring over two decades of experience spanning global corporations, high-growth SMEs, and founder-led startups, supporting leaders to scale with clarity, purpose, and commercial strength. My early career began in Banking and the Fiduciary sector before I spent a decade leading international beauty brands (Beiersdorf and Coty Prestige). In 2017, I transitioned into SME leadership, holding C-suite roles including CMO, CCO, and MD, and serving on the Director’s Board of a scaling health & beauty company. Today, I mentor and advise founders across the UK and internationally, combining strategic insight with hands-on support to help them build impactful, sustainable businesses. I use my proprietary frameworks: The P.A.C.I.N.G. Principle™, which helps leaders master the timing of sustainable growth, and The Quiet Edge™, a philosophy designed to help founders scale without spiralling, to ensure momentum is aligned with meaning. I also serve as a mentor for the LSE Generate Accelerator and the UK government's 'Help to Grow' programme, where I support early-stage and scaling businesses. My work blends empathy with execution, helping founders lead with confidence through growth, complexity, and change.
