Who We Are

Metaco was founded in 2009 by Barbara Walsh and Danny Tuckwood. The company rapidly grew to become a leader in Executive Coaching and Leadership Development. Metaco currently operates out of Johannesburg and London.

Global thought-leader, consultant and best-selling author Professor Peter Hawkins joined the team in 2016 as a Non-Executive Director and now acts as an advisor to the Board. The Systemic Coaching approach he is renowned for developing now forms the basis of all our work. As a result, Metaco has grown a strong international reputation for enabling high-performing leadership teams to partner with their stakeholders to deliver value across their touchpoints.

Leadership Team Consultancy and Culture Optimisation are at the core of our work in supporting organisations to become resilient, future-fit and achieve their strategic outcomes.

Our ongoing faculty work with thought leaders in prominent institutions and environments worldwide ensures we remain congruent with global best practices.
