I'm a hands-on business consultant and fractional COO who works with business owners, founders, and operational teams to bring structure, clarity, and action to growing businesses.
With over 25 years of leadership experience across real estate, IT, property services, systems implementation, and SME operations, I’ve led companies, advised startups, supported property funds, and built practical systems that solve real business problems..
My approach is pragmatic and collaborative — I don’t bring generic advice, I bring sleeves-rolled-up support. Whether it’s simplifying a process, streamlining your team’s structure, or aligning systems with strategy, I help leaders move forward with confidence..
I enjoy working with people who are building something — founders with heart, operators with ambition, and businesses trying to find their rhythm again. If you're growing, stuck, or navigating transition, I bring the experience, steadiness, and energy to help you through it.
I also bring deep experience with MRI Software, offering support for implementation, workflow redesign, and ongoing optimisation for property-focused teams.
