Startup Consultant

My services offer practical solutions, strategic insights, and hands-on leadership for your business at every stage from startup to exit.

Business Review

Let's crank up your business to the next level with my deep-dive business review. I'm all in to dish out insightful nuggets, strategic advice, and a no-nonsense game plan for growth and scaling up.

Fractional COO

Think of me as your secret weapon – a seasoned expert who brings a wealth of experience and strategic thinking.

Interim COO

I'll integrate into your leadership team full-time, spanning from several months to over a year. Whether your requirement is short-term or a more extended and critical interim period.

Retained

Think of me as your trusted partner in operations, by your side every month. Forget feeling like you're battling operational challenges in a silo.

Founders Den Podcast

The Founders Den podcast goes deeper than business. It unveils the human behind the entrepreneur.

By The Hour

Sometimes, you need a helping hand to tackle a specific operational challenge without the commitment of a full-time hire. That's where my Fractional COO by the Hour service comes in.
