An operating partner for founders, at every stage.

Fractional COO and strategy support for founders building from zero, scaling through chaos, or professionalising for what's next. Operator brain, commercial rigour, and the discipline to make it all run without a full-time hire.

Who is this for?

Whether you're sketching the first version of a business on a whiteboard, scaling through the messy middle, or running a mature business that needs more rigour, the underlying need is the same - an experienced operator in the room who can turn intent into execution.

Starting out

Pre-revenue and early-stage founders building the first version of the business, and need help turning an idea into an operating plan, a financial model, and a roadmap you can actually run.

Scaling up

Scaling businesses where the team has grown past what the founder can hold in their head. Time to install the operating cadence, the planning rhythm, and the commercial reporting that lets the business run without you in every meeting.

What's next

Established businesses preparing for what's next. Whether that’s a capital raise, a sale, a new market, or a leadership transition, and need additional senior operator capacity for a defined chapter.

What I do

I understand what makes a business run. And I do the work to make it run alongside your team, until the change is real.

Operating cadence and rhythm.

Cross-functional execution.

Commercial and financial rigour.

Strategy and direction.
