I’m an all round organiser of projects, people and moving parts. I’ve spent the last decade working in environments where things change quickly and structure matters. I come in, make sense of what’s going on and put the right frameworks in place so work runs smoothly. My work sits on the project and operations side. I set up workflows, timelines, systems and communication patterns that support delivery. I’m NZ based and work primarily in US time zones. Most of my work has been with teams juggling a lot at once, where clarity and calm make a real difference. If you need someone who can quickly assess what’s needed and build the right structure around it, let’s talk.

He led a comprehensive audit of our current operations, analyzed our sales and fulfilment workflows, and presented us with improved workflows tailored to our needs and future growth.
