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.
