    With a long-standing background in office, event and project management, executive assisting, and business administration, I’m an expert in taking care of the minutiae, the boring bits, and the jobs that keep getting put off but really shouldn’t. My forte is organisation with a beady eye for detail. That's what makes me ideally suited to companies who need to be focusing on their own specialties and palm off the admin-based tasks they've been putting off - or suddenly need - on someone else who they can trust to get on with it. With experience in office management, coordination of published premium business reports, and internal project assisting across a range of businesses, I'm best called upon for project coordination, streamlining processes, copy, proofing and editing as well as a breadth of other admin-based skills gained from these roles. So for all those niggly time-consuming tasks you don’t have time for, let me help you get them out the way.

    🎖️Top 3% of freelancers on Upwork 📝 Featured on Business Insider, Yahoo! Finance & FOX 🤠 12+ years seasoned operations executive Want to enjoy working on your business instead of in it? Looking to remove yourself from the day-to-day grind? How about doing all of that whilst maximizing top and bottomline performance? 🚒 Founders come to me when they are DONE with daily fire fighting. 📈 Scale ONLY happens with robust systems. My name is Jody Taylor 👋 I help founders engineer their company towards operational excellence 👨🏼‍🔧 For more than a decade I have helped countless startups, scale ups and everyday businesses from around the world. From manufacturing, design, fashion, tech, web3, hospitality, F&B, FMCG, import/export and more. Additionally, I have created digital twins of the biggest hotel brands in the world, launched fully automated (and profitable) businesses, raised $20M from investors and so on. My area of competence are: 🛟Business process & workflows 🛟Fractional COO services 🛟ERP analysis 🛟Operations audit 🛟SOP documentation 🛟Cost reduction planning 🛟Sales strategy 🛟Management consulting 🛟Systems architecture 🛟Customer experience 🛟Business plans 🛟Financial modelling 🛟Human resource processes 🛟Go-to-market playbooks 🛟Business intelligence systems 🛟Corporate establishment 🛟Capital raising 🛟Web3/blockchain operations 💼 My firm RUN-OPS is all about helping founders run optimal operations. Here are some of my client's reviews: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Modern Mantra (Venture Design Firm, USA) "Jody is one of those rare breeds who can both set a clear strategy and roll his sleeves up to execute. He is both an operator and a leader, who thrives on solving complex challenges with clear, straightforward solutions. Jody helped our organization recognize critical gaps in our management and operations, and worked hands-on with our team to drive solutions. After working with Jody, we began keeping better score in our business, and winning more often." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Read Lighting (Lighting Supplier, USA) "We hired Jody initially just to help us revamp our operations and bring them into the 21st century. 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. He is now helping us implement his recommended changes and helping us build our first e-commerce site! Jody’s guidance has been invaluable in bringing clarity and organisation to our processes. Highly recommend working with him!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Core Capital Asia (Investment Advisory Services, Hong Kong) "RUN-OPS helped with understanding and structuring a complex international business transaction.

He knew exactly the right questions to ask to identify our pain points with the business. With his focus on our success we established a number of areas with “low hanging fruit” that we didn’t even realize was there. He actually spoke to our accountants directly to take care of issues that we didn’t have the capacity to solve. Working with Run Ops was the best business decision we could of made. Thank you for everything." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Prizma (Design Agency, Russia) "Working with Jody was an absolute pleasure! We needed a development strategy for our studio, specifically to enhance the value of our services. Jody meticulously analyzed every aspect and proposed a step-by-step action plan.

Thanks to Jody for his professionalism – we truly appreciate it!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Identimark (Safety Equipment, New Zealand) "Jody did a great job and evaluating the ERP options for our company taking into account our bespoke workflow requirements and reporting requirements. Communicated well and presented a clear outcome for us to base our forward decision on." 🕰️ My current time zone: UTC+8 (Singapore, Hong Kong, Bali, Malaysia, West Australia) Interested in upgrading your business?
