OPERATIONS CONSULTANCY FOR FOUNDER-LED SERVICE BUSINESSES.

Your business is growing.

Running it should not keep getting harder.

I help founder-led service businesses improve how their people, projects and systems work together, so the business can run more effectively as it grows.

The work is good. The business behind it feels harder than it should.

Clients are being looked after. The team is busy. Revenue may be growing.

There is no single dramatic crisis.

But underneath the day-to-day delivery, you can feel the friction.

Priorities shift, but the knock-on effects are not always clear

Projects move forward, although visibility and ownership can be patchy

Capable people still wait for decisions, clarification or information

Processes have evolved quickly and now rely on workarounds or memory

Important improvements keep losing out to urgent client work

You know the business could operate better, but it is difficult to see where to start

These issues are rarely isolated. A project problem may really be an ownership problem.

A systems problem may be a decision problem.

Adding another tool or meeting before understanding the cause often creates more activity, not better operations.

An operating model that supports the business you are becoming.

I work with you to improve the practical decisions behind the operation: how work is prioritised, who owns it, how the team works together and how information moves through the business.

That might mean clarifying responsibilities, improving an internal process, creating a better planning rhythm, strengthening team communication or making your systems easier to use. We focus on what matters most and keep the work practical.

People

Roles, ownership, communication, capacity and decision-making

Projects

Priorities, planning, visibility, dependencies and follow-through

Systems

Processes, tools, information, documentation and operating rhythms

Hey, I’m Christina.

For more than a decade in complex corporate environments, I’ve been trusted to recover critical projects, mobilise new teams, design operating models and turn ambitious strategies into work that gets delivered.

Now I bring that experience to service businesses where growth, a busy team or changing priorities have made the operation harder to manage through memory and goodwill alone.

Ops Diagnostic

Understand what is creating operational friction across People, Projects and Systems. You leave with a clear diagnosis, three core priorities and a practical 90-day roadmap.
