The person
behind the edit

I'm a London-based ecommerce and operations consultant with over 10 years of experience in retail — from luxury brands at LVMH to trading strategy at QVC, and supply chain planning at Estée Lauder and B&Q.

I work with founder-led brands who need experienced ops support but don't want the overhead of a full-time hire. Whether it's a one-off project or ongoing monthly support, I slot in quickly and get things done.

The kinds of problems I solve: stock going out of sync, ecommerce performance falling behind, processes that live in someone's head, teams that are stretched too thin.

"I bring ideas, execution, and a genuine passion for helping retail brands unlock their potential."
