Who we work with
We work with businesses that have strong capabilities, valuable services or promising ideas, but need greater commercial direction, access or execution to realise the opportunity.
Our clients range from founder-led specialist businesses to established organisations entering a new market or channel. Most are in Sydney and greater New South Wales; many operate nationally.
There are no layers of account management. Clients work directly with the founding partners throughout the engagement.
How we work
Our approach has three stages. We understand the business, the opportunity and the people involved. We connect the right organisations, capabilities and decision-makers. We develop the opportunity until it has commercial structure and momentum.
In practice that means honest commercial diagnosis, considered introductions and disciplined follow-through — not a document handed over at the end of a process.

Led by founding partners Stefan Braga and Kif Chowdhury.
Stefan Braga
Founding Partner & Director
He brings structure to ideas, accountability to action and discipline to the conversations that can move a business forward.
Stefan is a commercially driven business-development specialist with a strong background across B2B sales, relationship management, marketing and growth strategy. He understands how to take a business from broad ambition to a clearly defined commercial pathway.
At Arise Consulting Group, Stefan leads commercial strategy, business development and execution. He can identify where an offer needs refinement, determine which markets and decision-makers matter most and develop the systems, messaging and follow-through required to create consistent commercial momentum.
Kif Chowdhury
Founding Partner
The strongest opportunities do not begin with a sales pitch. They begin with understanding the person on the other side of the conversation.
A natural relationship-builder with a strong instinct for people, opportunity and commercial alignment. He has built his career around high-trust conversations, complex negotiations and relationships that require clarity, credibility and genuine personal connection.
Kif leads strategic relationships, commercial partnerships and opportunity development at Arise Consulting Group. He works closely with clients to understand where they want to go, identify who can help them get there and shape conversations that create value for everyone involved.
Sydney based, working across Australia
Arise Consulting Group is based in Sydney, New South Wales. We meet clients in person across the Sydney metropolitan area and work remotely with businesses elsewhere in Australia, which suits engagements built around scheduled working sessions rather than constant presence.
Growth often starts with one conversation. Let's have it.
Tell us where you want the business to go and we will start with the conversation that matters.
