Senior operating leadership on a simple monthly retainer — so your business runs calmer behind the scenes and performs better at the front. Without the cost of a full-time hire.

I'm not a deal desk and I'm not a bystander. One experienced operator, in your business every week — building the rhythm, the numbers and the habits that let it run without you.
The aim isn't to make you dependent on me. It's a business that runs itself, with the systems and discipline owned and embedded by your team.
Quick, thorough, no fuss.
A 90-day plan you can actually deliver.
Sleeves rolled up — built with your team.
Coach, hire and hand over so it runs without me.
Senior operating support for a fraction of the cost of a full-time COO — no recruitment risk, notice periods or on-costs.

Short interviews, pull the numbers, map the work. Ship the basics: weekly routine, KPI pack, stop/keep/start, pricing & cash rules.
Plan goes live. SOPs in use for the top 5 jobs. Margin & pricing tweaks. Cash tidied. First client-experience wins.
Hiring/upsizing plan, monthly board summary, a 2–3 quarter roadmap, and handover so the team runs the systems.
A full-time COO is a senior salary, on-costs, recruitment risk and a long notice period — a big commitment before you know it works. This gives you the same operational thinking on a flexible monthly retainer, starting now, with a 3-month minimum and no long-term lock-in.
No. Consultancy tends to produce a report and leave. I show up every week, work on what's actually stuck, and leave systems, SOPs and habits embedded and owned by your team — so the business runs itself, not depends on me.
Founder-led firms and SMEs that have outgrown informal ways of working — well past running everything from your inbox, but not yet ready for a full-time COO.
