Fractional Growth Partner for Your Business
A Strategic Partner & Embedded Team to Launch & Scale Your Program Business
For founders with vision and momentum but no time to hire and train an in-house team. I lead strategy and plug in my handpicked experts to execute across marketing, delivery, CRM, systems, content and more.
How It Works
Over the years, I’ve led programs for global brands, built teams in a high growth start up, scaled my own business to six figures and supported founders doing the same. I’ve marketed, sold, built, launched and delivered. This gives me a unique lens to plug in exactly where your business needs support.
1
Define the Outcome
I start with a deep dive into your business your data, offers, systems and goals . This is to pinpoint what’s working, what’s not and where we need to focus for the fastest impact.
2
Lead the Strategy
Together we shape your growth roadmap and I lead strategy across marketing, product, delivery and operations. We meet weekly and keep aligned on what matters most.
3
Move the Needle
I plug in one day per week to execute and move key projects forward from campaigns to client journeys to backend systems. No wasted time just focused action.

Attracting the right clients without a clear marketing engine
Delivering excellence without burning out or dropping quality

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this for?
This is for founders of learning, coaching, or program-based businesses who want to grow without hiring a full-time team. If you need strategic direction and someone to help you get things done, this is for you.
What kind of results can I expect?
Clients see clearer strategy, better delivery systems and faster execution without the overwhelm.
I've scaled programs from 10 to 700+ learners, managed $25M+ in revenue, achieved Net Promoter Scores (NPS) of 50+, achieved retention rates of 97.5%, and maintained Customer Satisfaction scores of 4.5/5 consistently. I’ve built businesses with conversion rates over 7.5% (more than 3x their industry average), and helped clients hire A-player talent to strengthen their core teams.
This isn’t theory, it’s a proven track record of results across both strategy and execution.
What support is included in the package?
You get me, embedded 1 day/week leading strategy and executing across marketing, delivery, operations and systems. I also provide async support via Slack or video to keep momentum between calls.
Do you bring in other team members?
Yes, but only if needed. I can bring in trusted specialists (like a video editor or complex CRM experts) for specific tasks. You stay in control and I remain your main point of contact.
How is this different from hiring an agency?
You don’t get a bloated team or generic playbook. You get one partner experienced, strategic and hands-on working directly with you to drive results.
Do I have to manage anything?
No. I lead the work, manage priorities and deliver what matters. If we involve additional support, I coordinate it all.
How long does the engagement last?
Most clients start with a 3–6 month engagement. You can scale support up or down afterwards depending on your growth goals and team needs.
How much does this cost?
The core fractional package is £3,995/month + VAT. Optional add-ons or custom projects can be scoped as needed.
What kind of businesses have you worked with before?
I’ve built programs for global brands like Google, Meta, Sky and many more in my role as the Senior Global Operation Manager at Multiverse, Europe's fastest growing EdTech Unicorn (a $1.7B company). My clients range from solo founders, charities all the way to funded startups and enterprise teams.
Do I need to have a team already?
Not necessarily I’m here to fill that gap. If you do have a team, I work alongside them to lead and support delivery. If not, I cover multiple roles and bring in trusted help as needed.
