From Respected Litigator to Trusted Strategist

Kyle began his career as a commercial litigator, co-founding Sajen Legal in 1997 and guiding it to become a respected commercial firm serving high-growth enterprises. As Managing Director until 2024, he led teams through intricate business disputes, strategic pivots, and high-stakes transformations—all while emphasising genuine, values-based leadership.

Over the years, Kyle’s breadth of experience revealed a crucial insight: when leaders truly enjoy their work, they’re more innovative, resilient, and effective. This conviction underpins his approach today, as he advises firms in engineering, architecture, law, finance, and other professional services to transform complexity into clarity—and rediscover the genuine satisfaction of running a thriving practice.

Leadership Beyond the Boardroom

Kyle’s dedication to ongoing learning is evidenced by executive programs at institutions like the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School, the Nederlandse School voor Openbaar Bestuur, and University of Queensland—all reinforcing his belief that growth should be a continuous, values-driven journey, not a one-off goal.
