About Sean Petralia
For nearly 30 years, I’ve helped organisations navigate complex change. In that time, I’ve learned that programmes rarely succeed or fail because of the plan alone. More often, the difference comes down to leadership, judgement, and the ability to stay clear-headed when complexity builds.
My background spans British military service, senior roles across UK government, and more than a decade delivering complex transformation programmes for public sector, law enforcement, and financial services organisations across the Channel Islands.
I’ve built my career in environments where the stakes are high, scrutiny is constant, and decisions need to stand up to pressure.
That experience shaped how I work today. I founded Maroon Consulting to work with fewer clients, more closely, and with a clear focus on outcomes. I support senior leaders responsible for high-stakes programmes who need independent judgement, practical challenge, and experienced oversight, whether at the start of an initiative, in the middle of delivery, or when a programme needs recovering.
If you’re dealing with a complex programme and want a straight conversation about whether I can help, I’m always happy to talk.
