Most of my work has been in small, founder- and owner-led businesses, running the day to day and building the systems they were missing.

From July to October 2026 I ran operations for Underdog Sales, a founder-led sales-training business. On my second day I took over a breaking-down relationship with the external development team. I kept the product live through the dispute, then negotiated a new contract within a month that removed a revenue-share clause and added termination and refund protections. I ran the online academy (170–200+ members) and managed the developers and content contractors. While the founder was away, I ran the business day to day. I also built the Notion operating system the business now runs on.

Before that, I was an affiliate business development executive at TAG Media, a remote UK-based iGaming agency. I was the acquisitions-side contact for 6 client accounts and 50+ affiliate partners, and had the highest close rate on a six-person team (21% vs a 14.5% average) as its least experienced member.

From 2020 to 2024 I ran George’s Material Shop, an 8-person retail business in Cyprus, reporting directly to the owner. Over those four years it more than doubled its monthly revenue, through demand-based pricing, new product lines and an online sales channel I launched during the COVID lockdown.

I’m looking for a remote role in operations, or managing partners, clients and contractors, ideally in a lean team or alongside a founder. EU citizen, open to employee or contract work, available immediately.
