What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-first, fast-paced role where I can own operations and strategy—building scalable workflows, forecasting and inventory systems, and clear communications—while working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver measurable results.

I’m a high-agency operations leader and strategist with an MSc from the University of Oxford and 15+ years of experience spanning business operations, client management, and professional communications. I build scalable systems that keep operational efficiency high in fast-paced, remote-first environments.

In my work as a Freelance Consultant (Research & Strategy) and as a Partner leading daily operations, I’ve managed multi-priority workflows, coordinated cross-functional efforts, and turned complex information into clear, decision-ready steps. I also handle strategic communications—localizing toolkits and delivering policy analysis for broad audiences—while maintaining tight, real-time deadlines.

I’m especially known for operational innovation: developing inventory forecasting to allocate products across multiple showrooms, integrating AI-generated imagery for digital campaigns (cutting production costs by 60%), and applying circular economy principles to repurpose materials and reduce dead stock. Alongside operations and strategy, I’ve delivered editorial excellence and clear reporting through roles as a Senior Editor / Reporter and through copy-editing work for Hachette and Pearson.
