Hire the Best Strategic Planning Specialists

Companies start looking for a Chief of Staff when the business is growing, but execution isn’t keeping up. You have direction, you have priorities - but turning that into clear plans, ownership, and consistent follow-through is where things break down. That’s where I step in - I work directly with founders and leadership teams to take strategy, and make it real across the business. • Turning direction into clear plans and timelines • Establishing ownership and accountability across teams • Driving cross-functional execution without creating drag • Surfacing risks early and bringing solutions, not just problems I'm most effective when: • Priorities exist, but don’t translate into execution • Initiatives start strong but lose momentum • The founder is the bottleneck for decisions and direction • The business feels harder to run than it should Within the first 30 days: • Priorities stabilize and translate into execution • Ownership is clear across key initiatives • Work moves forward without constant escalation • Leadership has visibility into what’s actually happening My role is simple - bring structure, pace, and follow-through so the business can scale without all the chaos. If that’s the gap you’re trying to close, we should talk.

I am an Expert-Vetted Project and Operations Specialist with close to three decades of experience helping organisations improve execution, operational structure, and delivery consistency across construction, finance, e-commerce, technology, and professional services. I work with founders and leadership teams when priorities become fragmented, ownership is unclear, and delivery begins to lose momentum. My focus is on aligning people, processes, and systems to create clearer ways of working and more controlled execution. I have managed a £550M portfolio of 375 projects over five years, established PMOs, implemented earned value management, and introduced process and system improvements to strengthen control across time, cost, and quality. On a £1.2B healthcare programme, I restructured a stalled design process and increased completion from 53 percent to 96 percent within five months. I also bring strong experience in contract and change management. In one case, I supported a client facing a $60K contractual claim. By reviewing the contract in detail and identifying key breaches, I established a clear contractual position that resulted in the claim being withdrawn and avoided escalation, saving the client a significant cost exposure. Alongside large-scale programmes, I support organisations transitioning from reactive operations to more structured and scalable ways of working. This has included operational transformation work within a major financial institution in Dubai, where I reduced fragmented processes, established a PMO, and onboarded close to 100 staff onto Monday to improve coordination and visibility. As a Fractional COO, I have implemented operating frameworks (EOS), standardised SOPs, improved cross-functional alignment, and rationalised technology stacks to create more efficient delivery environments. I have also introduced practical AI applications to support research, analytics, and operational workflows. In e-commerce, I managed the recruitment of staff, liaising with suppliers, ensuring stock was on hand, coordination of an in-house team of specialists, and the launching of three multilingual websites, along with Facebook and YouTube ads within a two-week period in preparation for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, contributing to measurable sales growth year on year. I have also supported startups and SMEs in developing scalable operating models and structured delivery processes. I am a Certified Monday Partner, have direct hands on experience with ClickUp, Miro, Notion, and am a Primavera P6 super user, amongst other systems. I am currently working towards PMP certification and an MBA, while continuing to expand my capabilities in AI and automation.

Helping founders, leadership teams, and SMEs navigate growth, fundraising, and transformation through hands on execution, cross functional leadership, and alignment across operations, technology, finance, marketing, sales, and organisational growth. ✔ Advised 200+ startups and SMEs globally ✔ Supported fundraising initiatives exceeding $25M+ ✔ 10 years in leadership roles at GE ✔ Top Rated with 100% Job Success Score ✔ Startup Mentor at Surrey University and Ignyte Since 2019, I have worked full time as a Strategic Advisor and Fractional COO, partnering with founders, leadership teams, investors, and portfolio companies across growth, fundraising, operational transformation, and scaling initiatives. I combine the discipline, governance, and execution rigor developed during 10 years in leadership roles at GE with the agility and hands on approach required in startups and growing businesses. Unlike specialists focused on a single function, I operate across the business with a 360 degree perspective, aligning people, processes, technology, finance, operations, culture, and governance around common objectives. My role is often to act as the glue between leadership, investors, teams, and external stakeholders, ensuring priorities are clear, communication flows effectively, and execution remains on track. How I Help ✔ Fractional COO and Operational Leadership ✔ Strategic Planning and Execution ✔ Startup Growth and Scaling ✔ Fundraising Readiness, Financial Modelling, and Investor Materials ✔ KPI, OKR, and Performance Management Frameworks ✔ Business Transformation and Process Optimisation ✔ Cross Functional Leadership Across Product, Technology, Operations, Finance, and Commercial Teams ✔ Stakeholder Management Across Leadership Teams, Investors, Boards, Clients, and Partners My Approach I do not just provide recommendations. I work closely with leadership teams to drive execution, remove bottlenecks, align stakeholders, improve communication, establish accountability, and ensure initiatives translate into measurable business outcomes. I am highly data driven, hands on, and comfortable operating in ambiguous environments where priorities evolve quickly and information is incomplete. Whether supporting a startup preparing for its first funding round or a growing business navigating a complex transition, my focus is always the same: helping leadership teams make better decisions, align priorities, and execute with confidence. If you need a strategic partner who can operate across the business, connect strategy with execution, and help your organisation move forward with greater clarity, alignment, and momentum, let's talk.

Tired of a Notion workspace that looks fine but falls apart the moment your team relies on it? I fix that, and build it to actually run. Scattered tools. SOPs nobody updates. A CRM that's three weeks out of date. Tasks that only get done because you personally chased them. None of that is a Notion problem. It's a systems problem, and it's costing you hours every week that should be going into growing the business, not holding it together. I help founders, agencies, and growing teams replace that chaos with a Notion Company HQ: one centralized, automated workspace for projects, CRM, and documentation that your team actually uses without you having to explain it every time. One client came to me juggling three separate tools just to track what their team was working on. Tasks lived in one app, notes in another, and half of what mattered was scribbled somewhere nobody else could find. Nothing connected, so nothing got finished on time. I rebuilt it as a single Notion system: one workspace where tasks, projects, and notes lived in the same place and pointed back to each other automatically. No more switching tabs to figure out what was actually happening. They told me it was the first time their team stopped asking "wait, where is that?" That's the result I build toward every time: a system that disappears into the background because it just works. Specialized systems I build: •Notion Company HQs & Business Operating Systems •Notion CRM & Client Onboarding Systems •Notion Systems Consultant •SOP Libraries & Documentation Systems •Project & Task Management Systems •KPI Dashboards & Reporting •Database Architecture — Relations, Rollups, Formulas •Workflow Automation — Zapier, Make com, Notion API •AI-Assisted Workflows — Claude & ChatGPT integration •Migrations — Trello, ClickUp, Airtable, Spreadsheets → Notion •Workspace Audits & Optimization My process: ✔ Audit — I look at your current setup and tell you exactly what's breaking and why ✔ Design — I map the system structure before building a single page ✔ Build — full workspace build: databases, automations, dashboards ✔ Handoff — a walkthrough so your team can run it without me ✔ Support — I stay reachable after delivery, because a system that breaks in week two isn't a system I don't disappear after delivery, and I don't build anything I wouldn't want to maintain myself. If your Notion workspace needs a tutorial every time someone opens it, it's already telling you something's wrong. Send me a message with what's breaking, and I'll tell you exactly what it would take to fix it. No generic pitch, just a straight answer.
