When did you last change your mind
because someone challenged you?

FRACTIONAL COO · OPERATING PARTNER · BOARD ADVISOR МИЛА МИЛИЋЕВИЋ

I work with founders and leadership teams when growth makes the business harder to run — building the structure, challenging the thinking and bringing governance before it becomes urgent.

BUILD the operating layer.
CHALLENGE the assumption.
GOVERN before it is urgent.
01
BUILD

Fractional COO

Inside the business. I build the operating structure growth requires: clearer ownership, stronger processes, better reporting and the infrastructure to scale without quietly breaking.

02
CHALLENGE

Operating Partner

Alongside the founder. I pressure-test decisions before they become expensive — surfacing assumptions, asking what others aren't asking and connecting strategy to what the business can actually carry.

03
GOVERN

Board Advisor

Around the table. I bring independent judgement across strategy, risk, organisational effectiveness and governance — particularly when the business is moving faster than its structures.

not adjectives.

THE PROFESSIONAL DEVIL’S ADVOCATE

Good decisions need more than agreement.
They need challenge before consequence.

Three expressions.
One operating mind.

BUILD

NexaStrategic

My operating work. I step inside founder-led businesses when growth has outpaced the way the company runs — building the structure, systems and accountability required for what comes next.

CHALLENGE

Professional Devil's Advocate

My point of view. Good decisions need more than agreement. I challenge the assumption, test the logic and ask the question that changes the conversation.

CREATE

Concentric

The company I'm building. Curated peer Councils for professionally established women navigating significant professional transitions — built from original research into what women need when important decisions are still in play.

Work,
not theory.

Three examples of operating judgement applied where the problem was bigger than the brief.

01

Scaling operations.

Built the operating layer around a fast-growing UK business: organisational structure, people infrastructure, capacity planning, client lifecycle, governance and US expansion.

02

Commercial judgement.

Identified £250K in unpaid revenue, delivered a £100K annual platform saving and built commercial frameworks now used across 60+ active client relationships.

03

Building from zero.

Researched, positioned and built Concentric from first research question through proposition, operating model, member experience and launch.

WORK WITH ME

Better decisions.
Not more opinions.

If something in the business is getting harder as you grow, you don't need to know which job title you need. Tell me the problem.
