Paul Donoghue

CEO, Orlebar Brown

I have a working relationship of more than fifteen years with Stephens that spans three different companies. I have worked on a lot of initiatives with Tony over the last ten years. He invests his time in getting under the skin of a company so he can base his advice squarely behind its strategy. I find all interactions to be considered, rational and pragmatic. Today, as we are expanding Orlebar Brown across channels, territories, and categories he has built a framework that will allow us to be consistent and efficient with our time and operate at pace when needed. I have found our partners respect and acknowledge the approach as being professional and as clearly setting out to ensure we can get through ‘legals’ and start building something together quickly. The breadth of disciplines, understanding and experience that is offered from the Stephens team goes well beyond expectations. I can’t imagine a situation where a brand wouldn’t benefit from working with them.
