Work with me

Three to five days a month, with a three-month minimum.

As an operator. It starts with seeing how work really flows, which means talking to the people who do it. By the end of the first month there is a short list of where the time goes, in order, and the first fix is under way.

As a founding partner. For a new organisation: registration, governance, the business plan and the first deliveries. At UNA Global South, where I’m a director, that meant the company set-up, the fundraising plan and a first flagship event.

The background: COO and CEO of my own company, then a project manager inside the business that bought it.

For a specific delivery with a start and an end, scoped in a proposal before work begins.

I spent two years as a Senior Project Manager at Learnlight after it bought the company I ran. I led the integration, then cross-functional technology projects and the move to Agile. Before that I was the founder a project manager has to work around.

The result: a clear plan, honest reporting, and someone who knows what the project looks like from the seats of the people it affects.

Advisory is for a decision, not a delivery. Usually a handful of working sessions, with notes and next steps after each.

Founders. I co-founded Learnium, raised £550k, led a turnaround as CEO and sold it to Learnlight in 2023. I can help with raising money, steadying a company, preparing for a sale and what comes after one.

Teams weighing up AI. I use AI tools every day and I’ve talked clients out of most of the AI they first asked for. I’ll help you work out where it would pay for itself and where something simpler would do.

New charities. I set up the operational groundwork for UNA Global South, where I’m a director: company registration, governance, a business plan and the materials for approaching funders.
