Operator. Not consultant. I run distressed SMEs for owners, administrators, search funds and family offices. Currently CEO of aeXea Capital — the entity that acquired Claire's Poland from Interpath administration in October 2025. Six acquisitions, three exits across the UK, Poland and Lithuania over twenty-plus years. What I'm hired for: · Interim COO or CFO seat in a stalled, distressed or turnaround-stage business — typically £1M–£20M turnover · Operator's diagnostic on a business that's underperforming, pre-acquisition or post-acquisition · UK–Poland M&A and post-deal integration for buyers operating across both markets · Commercial and operational due diligence for search funds, family offices, and PE doing UK SME deals What I do in the seat: · Cash, stock and creditor reality first. Banker fluff doesn't pay wages. · Landlords, suppliers, and HMRC handled directly, in plain language, no lawyers between us unless the situation actually needs them. · Headcount and HQ rationalised against revenue, not against the org chart someone inherited. · Polish-language operations a real working asset — Polish supply chains, Polish staff, Polish acquisitions. What I don't do: · Long retainer engagements with no measurable end-state. If you can't tell me what better looks like in 90 days, I'm the wrong hire. · Coaching, founder mentoring, generic "growth strategy" decks. · Pre-seed capital raising. I exited that line of work in 2024. If your situation is distressed and the timeline is short, message me with the headline numbers and the deadline. I'll tell you in 24 hours whether I'm the right hire or not. Also an author of The Last Industry (2025) (endorsed by Liat Ben-Zur, former VP Microsoft).
