About Us

Westberi Consulting

In defence and innovation, the stakes are high and the margins for error are razor-thin.

At Westberi Consulting, we help teams navigate complexity with clarity—whether you’re preparing war fighters for tomorrow or scaling a breakthrough idea into new global markets.

We’re not your typical consultancy. We’re operators, strategists, and builders who roll up our sleeves and get in the trenches with you. Our mission? To turn bold ambition into real-world capability.

Meet the Founders

John Tsihlis

Founder

The entrepreneurial engine behind Westberi, John has spent years launching businesses from scratch, turning financial insight into market traction. With a background in finance and a track record of taking ventures from concept to commercial success, he’s the go-to for SMEs ready to scale smart and fast.

Tomas Couch

Founder

A seasoned officer of the Australian Defence Force, Tomas brings deep operational experience and a systems-level understanding of defence environments. He believes that well-designed training doesn’t just prepare teams—it saves lives. His programmes are built to be immersive, mission-relevant, and future-proof.

Together, they form a rare blend of commercial agility and defence credibility — making Westberi uniquely equipped to serve both sectors.

For Defence Companies with training needs

We design training that’s more than instructional—it’s transformational.

• Mission-driven, scenario-based programmes
• Integration with real-world platforms and systems
• Focused on survivability, decision-making, and readiness
• Built to meet the demands of future conflict and innovation

Whether you’re a startup building next-gen capabilities or an established defence Prime refining doctrine, we train teams to think, move, and decide like it’s real—because one day, it may be.

For SMEs with Global Ambitions

No international experience? No problem.

• We craft go-to-market strategies that stick
• Build financial models that attract capital and scale
• Navigate compliance, partnerships, and entry barriers
• Turn pilot projects into repeatable growth engines

We know what it’s like to be the underdog with a big idea. We help you punch above your weight—and land with impact.

Why Westberi?

Because we don’t just consult—we commit. We co-design with your team, deliver with precision, and leave you stronger than we found you. Whether you’re in defence or innovation, we bring the mindset, methods, and momentum to help you win.
