The Founder - Guy
One Forward was created by Guy Riaz as the operating home for the brands and ventures he builds.
Guy works at the intersection of strategy, brand, systems, and human behaviour helping businesses grow with clarity, structure, and long-term direction.
Alongside building companies, he also works directly with founders and leadership teams, and shares the frameworks that shaped his own journey.
About Guy
Guy is a business builder and strategic growth partner with over 25 years of experience across DTC, lifestyle brands, technology, and private-equity-backed environments. He has worked as a founder, operator, advisor, and embedded partner — often stepping in when growth has outpaced clarity and decisions carry more weight. Comfortable at both altitude and ground level, Guy helps shape long-term direction while building the systems that turn strategy into execution. His work combines commercial thinking with a strong creative lens, ensuring businesses are not only effective — but clear, credible, and culturally relevant.
Work With Guy
Guy works directly with founders, CEOs, and leadership teams navigating growth, complexity, or transition. His role is not that of a traditional consultant, but a strategic partner — helping shape direction, build internal structure, and support better decision-making as businesses scale. This work spans strategy, positioning, systems, leadership thinking, and growth planning — always focused on building durable, well-structured companies.

A Founder’s Philosophy
Growth should be intentional, not reactive. Strategy should be usable, not theoretical.And leadership is as much about psychology as it is performance.
Guy’s work — across companies, consulting, and education — is focused on helping people move forward with confidence, not complexity.
