Legacy businesses, rebuilt around AI.
I founded and run Linden Group, which acquires established, owner-led businesses, rebuilds how they run with AI and holds them for the long term. My current focus is Linden Agents, the group's AI implementation company.
Building the next generation of AI‑native legacy businesses.
Linden Group
Linden Group is the long-term work. It acquires established, owner-led businesses and rebuilds how they run with AI, keeping the people, the name and the trust their customers rely on. It brings the discipline of private equity to permanent ownership, with an operator's attention in place of a fixed exit.
Linden Agents
Linden Agents is the group's AI implementation company and where the work happens today. Our team learns how an owner-led business runs, then builds AI into the work it already does.
About
My background is in AI engineering and consulting. Before founding Linden Group I designed and built the AI operating system and delivery platform of a Melbourne consultancy, and I now lead the same work for clients at Linden Agents.
Writing
There are no essays here yet. Field notes is my letter on building and running businesses with AI, and it will go out once a fortnight from the first issue.
