Team
Not your average consultancy team
We have been where you are and scaled organizations to tens of millions in revenue with over 100% annual growth. We have grown and sold service businesses to ASX listed companies, technology businesses to billion-dollar Nasdaq listed global software groups and grown local firms from start-up to leaders in their region.
Combined, we have raised over $150m in the private and public markets.
Most importantly, we understand that measurable value for your investment needs to be proven quickly.
Bill Nikolouzakis
Principal Consultant & Managing Director
A multiple company founder, investor and seasoned C-level executive, Bill is currently Managing Director of Levels Growth Consultants and Executive Director at Bond Property Lawyers and Chatham House Property.
Most recently, Bill was COO and CRO at PropTech Group Limited (ASX:PTG). In his time with the group Bill implemented new systems for sales, support and onboarding and a new go-to-market strategy which resulted in growth that saw the business increase revenue by 136% YoY to $21.4m in cash receipts.
Previously, Bill was the founder of Nyko Property which was sold to iBuyNew Group Limited (ASX:IBN) in 2016. In 2018, Bill was appointed Group CEO and later Executive Director.

Bill has raised over $35m in funding from the public markets and is an active investor in both public and private companies.
“I love nothing more than solving complex problems and helping businesses grow. I’ve learnt the hard way that scaling a business is not doing what you do now just with more people. It's about implementing the best systems and processes, while understanding the changing nature of your role and finding the most suitable talent at each stage of the growth cycle to ensure you are growing profitably.”
