What’s the Why?

A Blend of Strategy and Action

After spending decades climbing the corporate ladder to reach executive levels in operations and support, I realized my true passion lay beyond the conventional confines of corporate roles. In the corporate world, there’s often a demand for strategic minds, yet a hesitancy to engage in the ‘hands-on’ work. I pride myself on being ‘stratactical’ – a blend of strategic thinking and practical action. This unique approach allows me to not only devise plans but also actively participate in their execution.

The aspect of my work that brings me the most satisfaction is aiding small to medium-sized businesses in discovering and navigating obstacles that impede their productivity and growth. My career journey often revolved around resolving complex challenges, only to find myself replaced once the solutions were implemented and the path ahead seemed smoother. This experience highlighted a recurring pattern: businesses tend to seek out transformative skills for critical phases, but revert to more conventional, less experienced hands for ongoing operations.

My experience led to an epiphany – my skills and passion are best utilized in environments where change is embraced, not feared. Now, I dedicate my expertise to businesses that are not just seeking help but are eager and ready for transformation. This shift has enabled me to focus on empowering companies to scale and thrive, leveraging my unique blend of strategic insight and practical know-how.
