Long term, I aim to work in strategy or investment roles that combine analytical rigour with execution ownership\. Areas of focus: • Tech & digital marketplaces • Early\-stage evaluation & GTM strategy • Financial modelling & portfolio value creation • Process optimisation, scaling & ops efficiency • Data\-driven decision\-making & problem solving What I bring: ✔ Experience leading teams of 30–50\+ across ops \+ process improvement ✔ Startup finance \+ cash\-flow management \+ pitch deck development ✔ Strong quantitative and analytical capability \(MBA \+ real execution exposure\) ✔ Stakeholder communication, structured thinking, and results delivery If you’re building, investing, or solving problems in tech, operations, or growth strategy — I’d love to connect\.
