Principal consultant

Feroz Khan

Senior Transformation Consultant, Programme Delivery Leader and Global Operations Expert. Britlon Consultancy Ltd is the company through which engagements, contracts and delivery are provided.

Profile

I turn complex, high-stakes change into measurable business outcomes. Over 20 years my career has spanned two distinct worlds — the rigour and regulatory discipline of global banking at HSBC and Lloyds Banking Group, and the pace and scale of high-growth SaaS at Flixmedia, where I spent 11 years leading operational and digital transformation for a platform serving 1,200+ global retailers and 120+ brands.

I specialise in bridging the gap between legacy complexity and modern digital operating models: designing Target Operating Models, governing large-scale programmes, building global delivery and offshore capability, and embedding the continuous improvement frameworks that make change stick.

Britlon Consultancy Ltd is the delivery engine for that practice — the vehicle for client contracts, consulting engagements, interim delivery roles and managed workstreams. Where specialist input is needed, Britlon draws on a trusted network of independent practitioners, with the principal remaining accountable for the advice.

PRINCE2® Practitioner and Lean Six Sigma Practitioner. British citizen with full right to work in the UK; available for senior contract and consulting engagements across the UK, hybrid or remote.

Other workstreams

Extolix Build — the entrepreneurial venture.

Alongside client engagements, I run Extolix Build, an AI lab where I design and ship digital products and applications using AI to remove friction — from voice-first customer feedback capture to professional persona tooling and banking simulation environments.

It is a deliberate second workstream: hands-on product building keeps the consulting practice honest about what AI and automation genuinely deliver, and gives clients advice grounded in build experience rather than vendor decks.

Working beliefs

Advice should be attributable

A single named consultant is accountable for every recommendation, in the room when it is challenged and still there when it is implemented.

The operation tells the truth

The most useful days of any engagement are spent in the detail, with the people who run the process.

Leave less behind, not more

Success is a client who no longer needs the consultant — a working model, a clear cadence and a confident team.
