Hi there, I’m Claire, a creative and capable UK-based Chief Operating Officer. —> Book your FREE, no-pressure consultation here: bit.ly/3FyMleD If your business and brain currently resemble a tangled plate of spaghetti, or perhaps a can of worms, look no further. I’m a fully certified spaghetti straightener, who colour codes the heck out of everything, and should own shares in automation software. I’ll untangle your business processes, organise them, and slot them neatly back with some documentation to keep everything on track. It’s a fun metaphor, but what can I actually do for you? Well, along with overseeing annoying, time consuming, and often complex operational tasks for your business, I have the skills and experience to help you find innovative solutions to ongoing issues that are holding you back. If it’s time to admit that your business is in a pickle, I’ll help you design new systems, implement streamlined new processes, and produce standard operating procedures that help you carry out routine operations in your sleep (or while sipping a cocktail, whatever floats your boat). Why should you pick me over the next efficient, organised, and creative candidate? I’ve worked across a bunch of different industries (creative digital, tech, education, fashion and consumer electronics to name but a few!) so there isn’t much I haven’t seen, fixed and documented. I’m a self-starter who loves learning - if I don't know how to do something, I consider it a challenge to learn it until I can do it right, then I keep learning until I can't do it wrong. I’m a self-confessed techy, and a little bit in love with automations and processes - literally nothing slips through the net. That doesn’t mean I’m not creative, in fact I have a real flair for design and LOVE to think outside the box when it comes to problem solving. Trust me - you want this imagination on your team! Did I mention I’m organised to the point of obsession? I’ll approach your company’s problems like a military operation (albeit one covered in rainbow Post Its). I work with entrepreneurs, startups, and ambitious companies who want to grow and become more profitable faster, and who need support to solve problems quickly. I don’t just show you how to fix things, I implement, manage, and monitor solutions, working at your level to take tasks off your ‘to do’ list, and supporting you with the stuff you find difficult, so you can focus on the stuff you actually want to do. When I’m not helping businesses to scale and colour coding everything that is’t bolted down, I enjoy cooking, coffee, coding and, conversely, yoga - all with my kiddo and cat in tow. If you have big dreams for your business, but lack the time, experience, or expertise to put them into practice, drop me a DM and start leaving the office on time for the first time in forever. Put your company in a safe pair of hands - an experienced freelance COO with a back catalogue of happy clients. You can find me at @thecreativecoo for business ops or @diamondmindsdigital for system strategy.
