With Rigour, Wit, and Results


Fractional Leadership

For organisations who need embedded leadership without the FTE overhead. I step into critical functions—delivery, operations, transformation, governance—and bring clarity, cadence, and calm.


Strategy & Governance Advisory

When strategy reads like aspiration and governance has become performative, it’s time for a reset. I work with boards and management to reconnect ambition with accountability and decisions with reality.


Leadership Development

Less charisma, more character. I support leaders—emerging and established—to grow in discernment, manage complication, and lead without becoming accidental chaos agents.


Research &
Thought Leadership

From white papers to board briefs, I help organisations say what matters and say it well. I bring research rigour and rhetorical clarity to writing that persuades—internally and externally.


A more informed life.

Successful people do not make good decisions though luck, they make them by being well informed. Subscribe to The Bulletin for weekly insights that help you to think critically and be better informed.
Portrait of Dr Robert N. Winter

I have over two decades of experience across publishing, national standards, health, performing arts, and charity sectors. I’ve led transformations that create shared value without destroying morale—clarifying strategy, sharpening governance, and building sustainable cultures that consistently deliver. My work centres on restoring clarity, discipline, and legitimacy to institutions that have begun mistaking activity for progress.

I write, I podcast, and I occasionally provoke, all in service of helping organisations endure with purpose, prudence, and just enough poetry to keep it human.

"Robert brings rare value: counsel that’s wise, grounded, and deeply attuned to context—and the willingness to act on it. ThunderLabs don’t just get advice; we get results. That combination is as uncommon as it is invaluable."
