I help founders and growing teams bring structure to fast-moving operations through project management, workflow design, team accountability, and automation. With 5+ years of project management experience and working remotely since 2018, I have coordinated cross-functional teams across North America, LATAM, Europe, and Asia in software, operations, data, and creative environments. My focus is not simply implementing tools. I design systems that improve visibility, accountability, and execution. Whether inside Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Airtable, or custom workflows, I help organizations reduce operational friction, streamline communication, and keep projects moving without constant oversight. I regularly leverage AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Claude Code to accelerate documentation, reporting, process analysis, workflow design, meeting summaries, research, and operational support.

I am an Expert-Vetted Project and Operations Specialist with close to three decades of experience helping organisations improve execution, operational structure, and delivery consistency across construction, finance, e-commerce, technology, and professional services. I work with founders and leadership teams when priorities become fragmented, ownership is unclear, and delivery begins to lose momentum. My focus is on aligning people, processes, and systems to create clearer ways of working and more controlled execution. I have managed a £550M portfolio of 375 projects over five years, established PMOs, implemented earned value management, and introduced process and system improvements to strengthen control across time, cost, and quality. On a £1.2B healthcare programme, I restructured a stalled design process and increased completion from 53 percent to 96 percent within five months. I also bring strong experience in contract and change management. In one case, I supported a client facing a $60K contractual claim. By reviewing the contract in detail and identifying key breaches, I established a clear contractual position that resulted in the claim being withdrawn and avoided escalation, saving the client a significant cost exposure. Alongside large-scale programmes, I support organisations transitioning from reactive operations to more structured and scalable ways of working. This has included operational transformation work within a major financial institution in Dubai, where I reduced fragmented processes, established a PMO, and onboarded close to 100 staff onto Monday to improve coordination and visibility. As a Fractional COO, I have implemented operating frameworks (EOS), standardised SOPs, improved cross-functional alignment, and rationalised technology stacks to create more efficient delivery environments. I have also introduced practical AI applications to support research, analytics, and operational workflows. In e-commerce, I managed the recruitment of staff, liaising with suppliers, ensuring stock was on hand, coordination of an in-house team of specialists, and the launching of three multilingual websites, along with Facebook and YouTube ads within a two-week period in preparation for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, contributing to measurable sales growth year on year. I have also supported startups and SMEs in developing scalable operating models and structured delivery processes. I am a Certified Monday Partner, have direct hands on experience with ClickUp, Miro, Notion, and am a Primavera P6 super user, amongst other systems. I am currently working towards PMP certification and an MBA, while continuing to expand my capabilities in AI and automation.

Behind every creative person, every small and growing business, is an Alfred. There comes a point in the development of every business where if an organizational overhaul doesn't take place, scaling isn't possible. That's where I come in. You might know exactly what you want, or you might have a general sense of unease. Many business owners know there are things that can be done better, but they aren't sure where to start and don't have the time to figure it out. I've spent years honing a carefully curated (but extensive) list of skills by working with small business teams and as a freelancer. These various experiences have given me invaluable insights into different industries, processes, tools and departments. I've had my hands in dozens of different projects and this has allowed me to analyze businesses and develop custom solutions. I've also worked really hard to become acclimated to as much technology as possible. I'm certified in Asana, Notion, Make.com, Quickbooks, Trainual and Gorgias. I'm expert-level in Clickup, Trello, Monday, Processstreet, Jira, Confluence, Hubspot, Hubstaff, Harvest, Front, and many more. Some of my specialty areas include: - Day to day direct executive support, project management or operations management - Acting as team communication leader and project manager ensuring efficient information sharing - Process development - Analyzing, streamlining and automating workflows - Tool recommendations, data migration, set up and training - Financials (Quickbooks, data transfers, budgets, action plans) I am a certified Quickbooks Pro Advisor! I am certified to help you optimize your usage of Quickbooks. - I specialize in choosing, setting up and executing project management software. I am well versed in all major options. I am also an Asana Together Certified Pro and Notion Certified. - Developing, launching and leading initiatives regarding efficiency, organization, team building, marketing, hiring, and more. - Resource management including HR, payroll and employee engagement - Long term goal planning, and breaking down those goals into achievable projects with specific steps and due dates - Putting out fires, reducing bottlenecks, and keeping things from falling through the cracks Certified in: Asana, Notion, Gorgias, Make.com, Trainual and Quickbooks Experienced in: Airtable Calendly Canva Clickup Clockify Confluence Dubsado Etsy Google Data Studio Google Products Harvest Hector Hexnode Highlevel Hive Hootsuite Hubspot Hubstaff Insightly Loomly Monday.com Office/Microsoft Products Paymo Post Affiliate Pro Processstreet Reclaim Shopify Sortly Sunsama Todoist Trello Various form tools (google forms, tidyform, notionforms, etc.) Verious email marketing tools (Mailchimp, infusionsoft, constant contact, keap, etc.) WordPress Wrike Zendesk Zoho And even more industry specific software (NutriAdmin, ServiceNow, ConnectWise, etc.)
