Masteri Group Ltd

What Masteri Group Ltd does

Masteri Group Ltd is a London-based governance, risk management, and programme delivery consultancy founded in 2016 by Michael Tabirade. The firm operates as a practitioner-led advisory practice delivering four service lines: Senior Delivery Leadership (programme management for digital transformation and operating model implementation), Risk & Assurance (framework design and implementation), Portfolio Review (strategic portfolio assessment), and EMCC-accredited Executive Coaching. The firm has no proprietary software or technology platform and delivers all engagements through direct practitioner involvement, drawing on a small network of named collective partners (Rosemary Bonney for NHS/health-system delivery, Karen Safo-Barnieh for legal/contractual work) for larger programmes. The stated headcount is one (the founder), operating from a UK registered office.

The firm targets two primary customer segments: boards and executives of UK membership organisations, and senior programme leads and senior responsible owners (SROs) within the NHS and wider UK public sector. Its go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, with engagements initiated through no-obligation discovery calls booked via the company website and converted into bespoke, quote-based consulting agreements under separate written contracts. Publicly disclosed client engagements include the Natural England Strengthening Delivery Programme, the NHS England & NHSX Digital Child Health Programme (migrating 52.5 million data points and impacting 14+ million children), the UKHSA Genomics Workforce Programme (recruiting 50+ specialist roles in 12 weeks during the pandemic), and work at University Hospital Southampton and DEFRA.

The business is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped, with no institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no parent company. Marketing is limited primarily to founder-led channels (a YouTube thought-leadership channel and an email newsletter) and a small library of detailed case studies supporting direct relationship-building. Geographic scope is domestic (England), with no global footprint claim.
