Ongoing Fractional Work and Consulting

About me
I have 10+ years of experience across operations, sales, and strategy in the tech, media, and healthcare industries. As a generalist builder, I thrive on tackling white space problems and turning desired outcomes into reality experimenting with hands-on solutions and building the processes, teams, and systems needed to drive sustainable growth.
Who I’ve worked with
How can I help....
A non exhaustive list of the type of work I can deliver. I don’t take on project where I can deliver tangible outcomes. Best approach is to grab some time with me, let me know your biggest problem and I’ll let you know if I am the right person for the job.

Operations
Operationalise your team and processes by building repeatable systems and feedback loops that will support your growth.

Strategic Projects
Execute impactful initiatives beyond BAU, freeing your team to focus on core responsibilities.

Sales Enablement
Need to drive more sales - not sure who to hire, how they should be KPI'd, what's the core pitch, and what systems they should work in. I've got you covered.
My services
Ongoing Fractional
If you’re an early stage founder looking for a resourceful generalist to manage projects and solve challenges quickly, step in as an extension of your team helping you scale efficiently without the cost of a full time hire.
Project Based
Have a clearly defined challenge or initiative? I take on high-impact projects with a clear scope and deliverables—getting in, getting it done, and getting out of your way.
Pick my Brains
Not sure where to start? Book 2 x 1 hour sessions to dig into your biggest operational or growth challenges. It’s a fast, flexible way to get clarity and direction before committing to a bigger engagement.
Not sure if we're a fit but got a lot of problems to solve. Schedule some time, I'm obsessed with outcomes so I'll be the first to let you know if I can't help you.
