Milne & Co is a two-principal executive advisory practice providing fractional and interim C-suite leadership, transformation and board advisory across the GCC, UK, Europe, Southeast Asia and Africa.

Founded by Ben Milne and Joanna Anastasiou-Milne, we work directly with founders, CEOs, boards, family businesses and investors to accelerate growth, improve performance and deliver strategic change. We don’t produce reports and walk away; we work alongside leadership teams to turn strategy into execution.

Together we bring over 45 years of executive experience across logistics, distribution, supply chain, procurement, sourcing, food manufacturing, foodservice, food safety, agri-food, FMCG, retail, fashion sourcing, e-commerce, fulfilment, last-mile delivery, 3PL/4PL, QSR, hospitality, commercial growth, operational excellence, business transformation, strategic diversification, start-ups, scale-ups, turnarounds and private equity-backed businesses.

Ben has held CEO, COO and Commercial Director roles across logistics, express parcels, postal networks and food distribution. He helped reverse an £80m projected loss at City Link, grew Chef Middle East from $225m to $300m in 14 months, advised the Chairman of Qatar Post on transformation and recently served as Acting CEO of Tameem Logistics. Together with Joanna he also built successful food distribution and hospitality businesses from start-up.

Joanna has held board-level procurement, supply chain and commercial leadership roles with Compass Group, Sodexo and Cravia, delivering multi-million-dollar savings, leading sourcing, product development, food safety and operational transformation. Earlier in her career she managed international sourcing programmes globally within food and across Asia for major fashion retail brands, giving her deep experience in global manufacturing and supplier development.
