3x Olympian and Co-Founder Unthink
Our actual start-up story is one we would love to tell you about sometime. It involves being dropped from a 4th Olympic Games, pregnancies and brain tumours.
We connect the dots between People, Learning, and Experiences. Before Uber, we hailed a cab by standing perilously close to traffic, with an arm in the air. Waiting. Hoping. After Uber, that now just seems silly. This is what the impact of learning experiences will be to traditional workshops and training.
In an industry that just has not moved on, Unthink and our incredible client partners are changing the game on learning. Importantly we are Enjoying the Journey with every one of them. Unthink proudly has been recognised as the ‘Most Dynamic Leadership Consultancy 2023’. Our CEO won the best leadership development solutions, 2023 and we won the 2023 UK Start-Up award for most innovative consultancy.
You can see the founders in the video, but since then we’ve had more Star Catchers join the team (and the founders look way more tired than this). All fully bought into our vision, who live the Unthink way, bringing our values alive – Take Dirt tracks, NOT highways. Don’t be a 6 (see the video). Enjoy the journey. Partner like the Uber Map. Bring the Giddy Up. Work the Problem.
Between us, we’ve got an exciting TROPHY CABINET featuring…
- Winner: Employee Experience of the Year: 2023
- Winner: CIPD 2023 Learning Leader of the Year 2023
- Winner: Personal Today Employee Experience of the Year, 2023
- British HR Leader of the Year 2024, finalist (TBA)
We also have two Olympic medals, European, World, German, Japanese, British championships. A 40 under 40 and a PHD. Owen also twice, consecutively, got relegated in the National Rugby Leagues since joining Esher rugby club.

Including a couple of award panels, here’s a few that we picked up in 2023 (without paying for a table even!) and helps prove to our parents we know what we’re doing…
Most Dynamic Management & Leadership Development Company 2023
Best Leadership Development Solutions CEO 2023 – Janne Muller Wieland
Business, Consulting & Management StartUp of the year, 2023
We believe that we can't go back to normal, normal wasn't working.
In an attempt to make a difference we wanted to provide an addictive learning experience, at a revolutionary price, that leaves a lasting impact. Fuelled by our belief that small actions and passionate people can create a big change. Current learning experiences are typically expensive, outdated and with people from the same backgrounds.
Yet, we wonder why nothing changes?
Being Olympians, Entrepreneurs and Leadership Development experts, we decided we had to create something better. We believe that to be a leader, you don’t have to be the CEO or superstar entrepreneur… All of us are born with unique talents and it’s those that have the courage to share, regardless of obstacles and the fear of the unknown, that become leaders.
Hence we created an alternative.
By providing unexpected speakers who have incredible stories, designing learning bursts and engaging with meaningful charities, we help people truly apply their learning; resulting in a higher quality experience that connects powerful minds and inspires people to be and do better.
Unthink is the platform for curious people to do extraordinary things.
