What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote consulting, fractional COO, and sales roles across time zones where I can build systems, strengthen accountability, lead change, and help businesses scale sustainably.

I’ve coached close to 100 business owners, led a retail concept to 12% annual revenue growth over 10 years, and bring practical sales, negotiation, change-management, and team-leadership experience to remote consulting, fractional COO, and sales roles.

Property has a way of teaching you lessons that no business school ever could.
