Superpower
I see what others miss and turn conflicting agendas into alignment — so growth doesn't break the team or the numbers.
Specialises in
- Operational pivots, scaling and finance
- Governance, risk and compliance
- Aligning stakeholders with competing agendas
- Board and investor reporting
What that looks like
- Scaling a high-growth start-up across 4 continents — building local teams and offices, growing headcount from ~40 to 350+
- Designing and implementing a C-level structure that holds as a business scales
- Turning board reporting into decisions, not just updates
- Preserving operational stability and stakeholder confidence through periods of turmoil
