Operational leadership that adapts to where your business is right now
Your businesses don’t need more noise, pressure or rigid packages.​
It need the right level of operational leadership at the right time.​
You may want ongoing, embedded support.
Or need help untangling something specific.
Maybe you aren’t quite sure what they need yet, you just know your business feels harder than it should.

That’s where I come in
Ways to Work with Me
1
Fractional Business Manager
This is for you if you want consistent, experienced operational leadership without hiring full-time.
​
I embed into your business and take ownership of the operational thinking — bringing structure, clarity and momentum to how your business runs day to day.
​
This often includes:
-
Shaping and strengthening the operational backbone of the business
-
Designing and evolving systems that support growth
-
Improving how work flows, decisions are made, and priorities are held
-
Acting as a trusted partner to you as the business evolves
This is long-term, relationship-based support.
It works best when your business is growing, changing shape, or reaching the point where everything can no longer sit with you, as founder.
2
Project Based Support
Project-based support is ideal when there’s a specific piece of work that needs focused attention.
​
This might be:
-
A launch or relaunch
-
Scaling or restructuring
-
Implementing or redesigning systems
-
Untangling clunky processes that have built up over time
We agree a clear outcome at the start, focus on what will make the biggest difference, and work towards leaving the business in a stronger, more stable place than we found it.
​
This option will suit you if you need momentum and clarity without committing to ongoing support — or if you want to start with a defined piece of work.

Operational Diagnostics
This is ideal for you if you know something isn’t working, but can’t quite put their finger on it.
​
Your business might look fine from the outside, but internally things feel:
-
heavier than they should
-
reactive or disjointed
-
overly dependent on the founder
An operational diagnostic gives you:
-
A clear view of how your business is actually operating
-
Insight into root causes, not just surface issues
-
Clarity on what needs attention first — and what doesn’t
-
A practical, prioritised way forward
Think of it as stepping onto the balcony and finally seeing the full picture.
Many founders use this as a starting point before deciding what kind of support comes next.

Ad Hoc Strategic Support
Sometimes you don’t need a full engagement.
​
Instead, you need someone experienced to:
-
sense-check decisions
-
help untangle a specific issue
-
think through structure, priorities or next steps
This is flexible, responsive support for founders who value clarity, perspective and calm thinking.
​
It works particularly well when:
-
you’re navigating change
-
you’re at a decision point
-
you want support without adding complexity
This option recognises that leadership isn’t always about doing more — sometimes it’s about having the right person beside you at the right moment.
