Description
With over 15 years in property, sales, and business innovation, I specialise in transforming struggling or stagnant businesses into scalable, profitable operations. My approach blends strategy, structure, and smart systems to help clients achieve what they once thought impossible — faster and more efficiently than they imagined.
I began my career as an online estate agent, managing hundreds of listings under intense deadlines. Within six months, I developed AI bots and automated workflows that reduced a 12-hour workday to two — years before the AI boom. Since then, I’ve continued to apply this innovative mindset to help entrepreneurs and SMEs streamline processes, boost profits, and expand.
