Senior operating leadership one or two days a week on a monthly retainer, so the business runs better day to day, for less than a full-time hire.
I'm not a deal desk and I'm not a bystander. One experienced operator, in your business every week — building the rhythm, the numbers and the habits that let it run without you.
The aim isn't to make you dependent on me. It's a business that runs itself, with the systems and discipline owned and embedded by your team.
Quick, thorough, no fuss.
A 90-day plan sized to what your team can deliver.
Sleeves rolled up — built with your team.
Coach, hire and hand over so it runs without me.
Both are monthly retainers and cost a fraction of a full-time COO's salary.

Plan goes live. SOPs in use for the top 5 jobs. Margin & pricing tweaks. Cash tidied. First client-experience wins.
Hiring/upsizing plan, monthly board summary, a 2–3 quarter roadmap, and handover so the team runs the systems.
A full-time COO is a senior salary, on-costs, recruitment risk and a long notice period — a big commitment before you know it works. This gives you the same operational thinking on a flexible monthly retainer, starting now, with a 3-month minimum and no long-term lock-in.
No. I work in the business every week on whatever is stuck, and leave systems, written procedures and habits that your team owns, so the business keeps running without me.
Founder-led firms and SMEs that have outgrown informal ways of working — well past running everything from your inbox, but not yet ready for a full-time COO.
