Melior Esse

Vince Hannant has spent his career at the intersection of building businesses and developing the people who lead them. As co-founder of a nich telecoms business - taken from start-up to IPO - he learned first-hand that growth exposes leadership gaps faster than most founders expect.

That experience sits at the core of Melior Esse, the leadership and management development consultancy Vince founded to help organisations build leaders who are genuinely ready for what comes next.

Having operated at Programme Director level inside large corporates - managing significant budgets and leading sizeable teams - Vince understands how leadership has to evolve as organisations scale. The disciplines that hold a complex business together: structured communication, clear accountability, repeatable process - are essential. But imposed too early or too rigidly on a growing business, they kill the very agility that got it there. Vince's work with SMEs is built on that understanding - helping founders and leadership teams build just enough structure to be sustainable, without locking themselves into something they'll need to dismantle later.

He also works directly with founders navigating growth, succession, and exit - drawing on both his own founding experience and two decades of leadership development practice.
