What I'm looking for

I want to lead operations and strategic projects in a mission-driven organisation—building scalable systems, KPI-driven execution, and stakeholder coordination that deliver measurable impact without chaos.

I’m an Operations & Strategic Project leader who helps CEOs, founders, executives, NGOs, and mission-driven organisations move from chaos to clarity—then turn that clarity into execution. I build the structure, systems, and workflow discipline that make growth sustainable, not temporary.

Over 8+ years, I’ve led operations across education, humanitarian initiatives, social impact, and business environments—always with a focus on KPI-driven performance and process improvement. I’ve streamlined admin load by 30%, coordinated complex multi-stakeholder responses, and designed onboarding that cut ramp-up time by ~50%.

In my recent Director of Operations work, I oversee day-to-day management and strategic delivery across admissions, visa support, client consultation, ticketing, IELTS training, hotel reservations, social media strategy, HR, finance, and stakeholder management. I’ve built 30- and 90-day onboarding structures, implemented a KPI-driven performance culture, revitalised digital presence through structured content, and strengthened partnerships with universities and international education providers.

Earlier, I led school-wide operations for 100+ students and 19 staff, including scheduling, parent relations, curriculum, and budgets. I also coordinated post-earthquake relief for 100+ families, managing logistics, vendors, volunteer scheduling, and communications across a 3-month intervention—grounding my work in accountability, coordination, and measurable outcomes.
