Most founders bring me in when revenue is growing but the business is starting to crack underneath it. Reporting is unreliable. Cashflow is unclear. The CRM is leaking. The team is busy but nothing is quite landing. And you're still stuck in the middle of everything. What you need isn't a consultant who talks strategy from a distance. You need someone who actually comes in, takes the wheel on day-to-day operations, actively manages the team, and gets things moving. That's what I do. I've built and scaled my own business to £10M revenue at 30% EBITDA before exiting, and held VP roles at Getty Images and Kodak. Because I have over 25 years of commercial leadership experience, I don't need an extensive ramp-up period. I've seen almost every operational bottleneck before, which means I spot leaking revenue faster and stabilise teams quicker. The work I'm most proud of is the hands-on stuff inside growing companies — fixing the operational chaos that builds up when a business scales faster than its systems. Where I typically focus * Team accountability & operating rhythm: Managing day-to-day delivery, running stand-ups, and leading the team so performance stops depending on you. * Cashflow forecasting & P&L visibility: Making sure you always know exactly where you stand financially. * CRM & revenue pipeline rebuilds: Tightening conversion tracking so leads don't fall through the cracks. * KPI dashboards & reporting: Creating practical data systems that actually support real-time decisions, not just tick a box. Recent work includes rebuilding CRM and revenue pipelines into a single operating model, improving follow-up discipline, managing remote teams, and installing reporting systems to support multi-million revenue growth. I work best with decisive, growth-minded founders in SaaS, e-commerce, and service businesses who are ready to hand over the day-to-day to someone who'll roll their sleeves up and drive it. If that's you, we'll hit the ground running.

You can’t do everything. You started this business with a vision and you’re the reason it’s a success, but you’re also the reason it's stalled. Because when there are no systems, every customer, every decision and every problem run through you. You need a partner who can build these systems. Someone who can design lasting processes, create clear SOPs and implement technology that sticks. Someone who is equal parts strategy and execution. ✅ I build systems and processes that transform the way your business operates. My number one objective is to partner with you to shape and execute your vision. I do this through: → Commercial lifecycle management → Project leadership → Supplier and contractor coordination → Strategic thinking and planning → Process improvement and workflow automation → Software design and implementation ✅ Here’s what my clients are saying about me: "I’d definitely recommend him - solid work, good communication, and someone you can rely on to get things done properly.” “A very professional freelancer who adds real value - I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to others." “Working with Jordan has been a game changer for my business. He’s helped us to re-evaluate our priorities, what we invest our time in and prepare for scale. Couldn’t recommend him enough!” Great businesses are built on great partnerships. Could this be yours?

I'm Maïa, an Online Business Manager and content lead with 8+ years running the operational and content side of B2B, SaaS, and lead-generation businesses. So founders and teams can focus on growth instead of the day-to-day. I manage people, projects, and content in parallel: coordinating writers, designers, and translators against brand guidelines; running content plans and campaigns across multiple brands at once; and keeping delivery on track without needing to be micromanaged myself. I'm equally comfortable setting the strategy and doing the hands-on work , writing, project planning, campaign execution, when a lean team needs someone who can just get it done. My broader experience spans: - B2B lead generation and partnership development - Multilingual content and SEO across English and French markets - Script writing and content strategy for YouTube and digital brands - Direct response copy: email sequences, ad copy, landing pages, funnels - Fast adaptation to new tools, workflows, and business contexts
