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.
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.
Inside the business. I build the operating structure growth requires: clearer ownership, stronger processes, better reporting and the infrastructure to scale without quietly breaking.
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.
Around the table. I bring independent judgement across strategy, risk, organisational effectiveness and governance — particularly when the business is moving faster than its structures.
