Time to think.
Time to lead.
Time to build the business,
and still be home for dinner.
Executive Operational Support
for founders and leaders
Is this you?
- You're spending hours on formatting and document tidy-ups instead of client work.
- Meetings end with a long list of actions, and half of them quietly go missing.
- Nobody is quite sure who's doing what, so things fall back on you.
- Strategy and business development keep getting pushed to "next week".
Where we start
We start with the task you've been putting off. The one you dread, the one that eats hours and moves nothing forward, the tedious one that always slides to next week. That comes off your plate first.
I also join the meetings that cause the most friction. I take the notes, track the actions and keep everyone accountable. Often that alone makes a noticeable difference. From there, we agree what else comes off your plate.
How much support
Most engagements start with a small weekly base that flexes up during busy periods, from a few hours a week to more when the pressure peaks. You only use what you need. If you'd prefer a firm budget, we can agree a weekly cap, and I'll give you a heads-up ahead of busy periods or milestones that might need more.
Why work with me
Senior, without the permanent hire. C-suite-level experience, flexing to what you need week to week.
You never have to remind me. If I say it will be done, it's done.
I work alongside your team, not over them. I strengthen how your people already work rather than disrupting it.
Support shaped around you. Every leader works differently. I adapt to how you operate, not the other way round.
Australian experience across construction, real estate, hospitality and professional services.
A VA completes tasks, a consultant gives advice and leaves, and a permanent hire takes months. I step in quickly, at a senior level, and stay as long as you need.
Knowing when to bring in a specialist
I'm practical and hands-on, but I'm also clear about where a specialist will do the job better. Bookkeeping, IT systems, marketing and social media are good examples. In those areas, I help you find the right professional, brief them properly and manage the work through to completion, so it's done right the first time
and you aren't left coordinating it yourself.
In practice
A small professional services firm brought me in when its directors were stretched across client work, events and the daily detail of running the business. I started with notes from every key meeting and a weekly summary of outstanding actions, so nothing slipped. When a major client event needed three times the usual support, we agreed the extra hours in advance, and I coordinated the detail behind the scenes so the directors could focus on their client.
The result
The directors no longer carry the constant question of what else needs doing.

Executive support often goes hand in hand with structural work: support for you now, and structure so the same pressure doesn't keep coming back → Operational Structure and Management
