Are you looking for someone to bring structure and clarity - and run operations - so you can focus on being CEO? Are you looking for someone to manage and improve your operations? Do you need someone to handle pressing projects or support your daily priorities? I am a COO with 15+ years of experience bridging the gap between vision and execution. I specialise in resolving scaling friction for founders by implementing the structures, clarity, and accountability needed to move from a "startup" mindset to a high-performance engine. Proven track record across 30+ projects in defining clear ownership, building SOP playbooks, and establishing real-time KPI visibility. I own the "How" of daily operations so leadership can reclaim their time to focus on the "Why" of strategy and growth. Examples of recent projects: Operational Turnaround: Restored profitability for a US-based firm by implementing cost discipline, margin management, and a new governance structure. Structure and Clarity: Established roles, roadmaps, and communication protocols for a French startup; increased team output by ~3x in two weeks by eliminating duplicate work and improving accountability. Operational Oversight: Owned end-to-end Finance, Sales, and Reporting processes (incl. Governance and KPIs), ensuring executive visibility and 100% accountability across remote teams. Core Competencies: Clarity & Structure: Defining roles, roadmaps, and SOP playbooks to eliminate scaling friction and ensure every team member understands their priorities. Execution & Visibility: Managing daily operations and accountability through OKR implementation, team syncs, and "single source of truth" dashboards (Asana/ClickUp) for real-time KPI tracking. Strategy & Growth: Leading business model innovation, rigorous P&L management, and venture architecture to secure long-term profitability and scalability.

I build structure where none exists. I'm that right hand person you want on your side to manage, structure, and execute everything while you're busy expanding your business. I specialize in supporting both startups and well-established businesses. No matter what stage you're at, my motive is simple: to help you win. I take pride in helping my clients hit their targets, build systems that last, and move from chaos to clarity. Iโ€™m a detail-oriented multi-tasker with a wide range of skills across operations, systems, and execution. Over time, my work has evolved from traditional VA support into Operations & Systems Management, where I help businesses not just run, but run efficiently and predictably. My passion lies in automation and AI and so, I LOVE to integrate AI tools (like ChatGPT, Claude) and automation platforms (Zapier, Notion) into operations, helping reduce manual work, improve decision-making, and create scalable workflows. I describe myself as self-motivated and solution-focused. I enjoy taking on messy, unstructured environments and turning them into clear, organized systems that teams can actually rely on. What I can help you with: โ€ข Executive / Virtual Assistance (high-level support, not just task-based) โ€ข Operations Management & Business Support โ€ข Ecommerce Business Management (end-to-end including Inventory); Shopify, Woo commerce, Wix โ€ข Project Management & Research โ€ข Process Improvement & Workflow Design โ€ข SOP Creation & Documentation (clear, scalable systems) โ€ข AI-powered workflows (ChatGPT, Claude, automation design) โ€ข Tool setup & optimization (Notion, CRMs, ClickUp, Asana, Monday, Zapier) โ€ข Business systems setup (operations, knowledge bases, internal processes) โ€ข Video editing (YouTube, explainers) & podcast audio editing โ€ข People Operations and HR (This is my Forte when I work full-time) โ€ข Helping founders get clarity and focus on what actually matters A strong strength of mine is communication - whether it's over email, calls, or async team collaboration. I work closely with founders and teams to ensure things donโ€™t just get done, but get done right. Education & Background: I hold a degree in Computer Science, and I bring over 10 years of experience as a Virtual / Executive Assistant. Before freelancing, I worked as a Business Analyst / Project Manager, which shaped how I approach systems, problem-solving, and execution today. If you're looking for someone who can own operations, bring structure, and quietly make things run smoothly behind the scenes, weโ€™ll work well together. Nice to connect with you ๐Ÿ™‚

Ecommerce Operations Manager and Shopify Developer | DTC Brands | Subscriptions and Logistics I build Shopify stores and run the operations behind them. Most people do one or the other. I do both, and that's what makes me useful to brands that are actually growing. For 4+ years I've been the sole ecommerce and operations manager at a UK meal kit subscription brand. Owning the Shopify stack, 150+ supplier relationships, cross-border logistics, subscription infrastructure, customer service, and retail distribution all at once. No team to hand things off to. On the development side I build custom Liquid templates, Shopify 2.0 sections and blocks, B2B wholesale setups, native bundle builds, theme customisations, and metafield configuration. I also handle app integrations across subscriptions, inventory, and fulfilment and make sure everything actually talks to each other. Some recent work: Full custom Horizon theme build for a UK pram resale brand. Dawn-based B2B wholesale store with gating and minimum order logic for a ceramics brand. Bilingual Arabic and English Shopify 2.0 store for a Kuwait children's brand, live in 5 days. 6,500+ SKU migration from X-Cart to Shopify with full freight tagging. At HomeCooks: 12.5% month on month revenue growth, 50% reduction in delivery costs, 15% reduction in operational costs, retail scaled from zero to 60+ locations. If you need someone who can build your store and keep it running, get in touch.
