my skills
I'm beyond a typical freelancer; I'm an AI-enabled change agent. No job is too small—I thrive on every challenge, mapping processes to eliminate duplication and data gaps, then turning them into profit streams with bespoke AI tools. Read on to discover how I deliver short-term projects that secure ongoing success.
Operations, marketing, admin, recruitment, HR… no process is too small. I log tasks for a morning, spot the duplication, and hand you a simple plan that saves ££ straight away.
Need cover for a week or a month? I slot in remotely or on-site, use Grok or Claude to cut waste fast, and leave your team running smoother—without big consultancy fees.
Xero, Slack, Gmail, Excel—whatever you already use, I link it to EfficientMinds or a quick AI script. No rip-and-replace, just smarter workflows you control.
I start small: one leaky process, one £ estimate. Typical first-week find? £500–£2k/month in meetings, emails, or double-entry. Scale up only when you see the cash.
No jargon. I draw your process on one page, highlight the fixes, and train your people in an hour. You own the improvement; I’m just the kick-start.
Half-day diagnostic = £295 or free if I find no savings. Full handover docs, 30-day check-in call, and a relationship that grows as your business does.
