Your operation is growing faster than your systems can handle. Things are getting missed, nobody's sure who owns what, and you're the one holding it together by memory. I fix exactly that. I've spent years inside an ecommerce agency working with brands doing six and seven figures in revenue, making sure their projects actually ship. My role was leading across departments: developers, project managers, designers, AI engineers, whoever was on a given project. I'd assign ownership, keep everyone accountable to their piece, and step in the moment something stalled. Before that, I built HR and operations from scratch for a marine engineering company running across several countries, again starting with nothing and putting a working structure in place. What both roles taught me is that my strongest skill isn't process, it's people. I know how to organize a team, make sure everyone knows what they own, and get a project from "in progress" to "shipped." What I actually do: โœ”๏ธLead cross-functional teams so projects move and deadlines hold โœ”๏ธManage client relationships and onboarding โœ”๏ธTake ownership when something's going wrong and needs a person in charge of fixing it โœ”๏ธAutomate or cut whatever's manual and shouldn't be โœ”๏ธHandle the admin and paperwork side too (contracts, invoicing, documentation, SOPs, etc.) Results: โœ…Led the team behind a 136% increase in output and 22% increase in productivity โœ…Helped generate $400K+ in new client revenue through better account management and delivery โœ…30+ projects shipped at 100% client satisfaction โœ…Built an onboarding system still used by 100+ people that cut hiring time by 30% I work well solo and I work well inside a team. I ask the right questions upfront so I'm not guessing later, I keep you updated without you having to chase me, and once I understand what you need, I move on it. I'm fluent in English, Lithuanian, and Russian, and I've managed distributed teams across time zones for years. If you need someone to lead a team, own a project end to end, or bring order to an operation that's outgrown its systems, message me. Happy to hop on a quick call to see if it's a fit.

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 ยฃ10M 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 โ€” 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.
