À propos

Introduction

I design, structure and scale operations for organizations that need clarity, efficiency and resilience. I work as a Fractional Operations & Business Director, supporting CEOs, Boards and leadership teams in transforming complex operational environments into clear, efficient and scalable systems. My expertise sits at the intersection of: Operations & governance, Finance & performance management, and AI-driven automation & digital transformation. I typically intervene when organizations face operational overload or inefficiencies, growth without structure, increasing compliance or governance pressure, or the need to modernize processes without adding headcount. I help organizations design robust operational frameworks, optimize financial and reporting structures, automate workflows (Odoo, n8n, AI tools), clarify roles, responsibilities and decision-making, and regain control over time, costs and priorities. My approach is pragmatic, hands-on and strategic: I don't sell theory · I build systems that work in real life.
