What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, allowing me to drive impactful change.

I help companies and founders design lean operations, build scalable systems, and create processes that make growth predictable and clear.

My style is calm, empathetic, and direct. I quickly pinpoint what’s blocking progress, align teams on the few priorities that matter, and install operational rhythms that feel natural and stick. I blend foresight, organisational design, and hands-on execution with HubSpot, Notion, Zapier, and AI to move from strategy to shipped.

Beyond work, I skydive and practice indoor flying, habits that sharpen focus, decision-making under pressure, and a methodical, safety-first approach that I bring to complex projects.
