I work with clients from both the Customer (the Buyer) and the Supplier (the Seller) sides of the B2B commercial world. My clients include:
• Global FMCG and manufacturing companies looking to transform supply chains, procurement, and operations.

Across all engagements, I partner with those who value systems thinking, strategic foresight, and practical guidance to turn complexity into meaningful, future-focused outcomes.
Mission of Janet Standing Consultancy
My mission as founder is rooted in a career that began in food and baby food, where I learned the enduring importance of trust, transparency, and quality. I have always believed that people deserve to know “how it was made” and “where it came from” and that organisations thrive when they can answer those questions with clarity and confidence.
That ethos guided my work in global executive roles across FMCG, Clean Tech, and now into AI enablement — building stronger B2B relationships, resilient supply chains, and purposeful partnerships along the value chain.
At Janet Standing Consultancy, we bring this experience forward to help leaders think from a different perspective, through the lens of the customer. Consider us your thinking partner: combining systems thinking, sustainability, and foresight to embed trust into the way you do business. We are driven by the belief that business success is measured not only in shareholder value, but also in the positive impact we create for people, communities, and the planet.
I understand what corporate customers look for; how they perceive value and their approach to risk management.
