@alexiuser
Business development and operations professional who builds customer-focused brands, leads teams, and delivers projects end-to-end.
What I'm looking for
I’m a business management graduate with a track record of running two businesses end-to-end and being promoted twice in operational roles—from artist to team manager at a design studio, and from warehouse worker to section manager at a facilities supplier. I built a leathercraft business from the ground up: sourcing suppliers, negotiating price, setting pricing for margin, and growing a customer base through branding and social media.
I thrive managing multiple stakeholders under pressure, with two years supporting surgical teams within the NHS—working within strict protocols, on-call hours, and sterile environments. I also run freelance web and graphic design projects from brief to delivery, using CRM tools like Salesforce and HubSpot alongside design and project-management software to keep work on time and client-ready.
