How I Can Help You

Business operations is the engine behind how a team and company runs — the systems, processes and structures that turn ideas into results. It connects strategy to execution, making sure the right things get done efficiently, by the right people, at the right time. Here are my focus areas:

Operational
Excellence

Improving the way teams work so they are aligned, effective and focused on what matters.

Project & Portfolio Management

Ensuring initiatives are well-prioritized, resourced and tracked from start to finish.

Team Enablement

Building trust, creating clarity around roles, responsibilities and how work flows across functions.

It is not just about productivity — it is about building a team and business that runs with 
clarity, focus and momentum.

The Creative Reset: Finding Structure & Momentum

Industry: Fashion
Individual: A creative director and entrepreneur
The Challenge: Feeling overwhelmed and unmotivated, struggling with disorganization and inconsistent results

The Solution:
1. Optimized scheduling based on peak productivity and lifestyle.
2. Prioritizing client acquisition to focus on high-impact actions.
3. Creating clear workflows to reduce chaos and increase efficiency.

The Result: With a clear head and structured approach, creativity flourished, leading to three new clients within a month. Now, success feels natural and in control, replacing overwhelm with confidence and momentum.

 

Bridging Gaps, Creating Impact

Industry: Agriculture
Team: 15 team members in Cameroon
The Challenge: Limited access to global IT systems, making communication difficult and preventing knowledge-sharing. No documented processes or visibility on best practices, leaving the team disconnected from global operations.

The Solution: 
1. Integrated the team into the global IT system, enabling real-time communication.
2. Developed and documented clear processes to improve workflow.
3. Created knowledge-sharing channels for cross-country collaboration.
4. Connected with leadership to align with company-wide supply chain strategies.

The Result: The team finally felt included, empowered, and part of the global network, leading to stronger collaboration and a deeper sense of belonging. Some team members were so moved by the transformation that they became emotional, recognizing the impact of finally being connected, seen and valued.

 

Building Trust in a Diverse University Team

Industry: Education
Team: 26 teachers (13 nationalities, 4 generations)
The Challenge: The team lead sought to build trust, but the team itself resisted the idea. Hidden tensions affected collaboration.

The Solution: A 3-Step Workshop Series focusing on:
Session 1: Foundations of Trust
Session 2: Applying Trust in Real Scenarios
Session 3: Integrating Trust into Daily Work

The Result: Open communication and structured feedback helped the team acknowledge underlying issues, leading to improved trust and collaboration. Post-workshop feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
