The person who takes organisations from spreadsheets to enterprise scale

Most businesses outgrow their systems before they realise it. I come in before the wheels come off - mapping, redesigning, and building the operational infrastructure that scales with you. AI and automation are how we get there faster.

About

I build the systems that let ambitious organisations actually scale.

Most growing businesses hit the same wall. The way you operated in two markets does not scale to seven. The tools that worked when everyone sat together break down across time zones. The processes that felt fine at 20 people become the constraint at 100.

I help organisations build the digital infrastructure, systems, and operating model that can actually grow with them, so expansion creates momentum rather than chaos.

I have built and led operations across Nigeria, Germany, and the UK, studying and working in Germany before relocating to the UK. That gives me a practical understanding of how organisations operate across different regulatory environments, cultures, and ways of working.

I joined Study Now when it operated across two countries on spreadsheets. Over three years I built the entire technology and business systems function from scratch: four major enterprise platform migrations, a proprietary admissions platform taken from business requirements to production, a Microsoft 365 environment, BambooHR for a growing workforce, and an AI-powered lead qualification ecosystem processing 50,000+ monthly interactions. I then built and led the engineering team responsible for maintaining and optimising those systems, handling full hiring, onboarding, and day-to-day coordination.

Through all of it, the organisation expanded from 2 countries to 7, from 200 annual enrolments to 1,300+, growing to nearly 100 people, without the systems ever becoming the bottleneck.

I led a team of 13 through that transformation and co-managed a £400k+ annual technology budget. That is the work I now bring to other organisations.

How I work with clients

Every engagement starts with understanding the problem clearly. I do not sell solutions before I understand what is actually broken.

Operations Assessment & Roadmap

From £3,000

A structured diagnostic of how your business currently operates - where friction is, where work falls through the cracks, and where the highest-leverage opportunities for improvement are. You leave with a prioritised transformation roadmap and clear implementation sequence.

1-2 weeks

Written assessment and roadmap

Process Mapping & Redesign

From £5,000

End-to-end mapping of your critical business processes - how work actually flows, where handoffs break down, and what a redesigned process should look like. Includes documentation, ownership definition, and an implementation plan your team can execute.

2-3 weeks per process area

Workflow & Tooling Implementation

From £6,000

Design and deployment of the digital infrastructure that makes your redesigned processes run: tool selection and configuration, workflow automation using AI and no-code platforms, system integrations, and the training and adoption support that ensures your team uses what we build.

3-6 weeks depending on scope

Digital Transformation Programme

From £15,000 / on application

For organisations undergoing broader change - new markets, rapid growth, post-acquisition integration, or a shift from manual to digital-first operations. I work alongside your leadership team to define the roadmap, manage implementation across functions, and measure outcomes at every stage.

Case Study · Study Now Ltd

What happens when you build operations from scratch - and get it right

2023 - 2 countries · Spreadsheets
2025 - 6 countries · Full enterprise stack

Where it started

Study Now operated across Nigeria and the UK, running core operations entirely on spreadsheets - approximately 200 annual enrolments, fragmented manual workflows, and no digital infrastructure to support growth into new markets.

Where it is now

Six countries, nine offices, 70+ employees, 100+ global agents, 300,000+ student records, 1,216 annual enrolments - running on a fully integrated enterprise stack that scaled seamlessly through every stage of expansion without the systems ever becoming the constraint.

What I built across three years

Excel to Monday.com migration - first operational platform, 100+ agents trained

Proprietary GSP admissions platform - business requirements to live production

Google Suite to Microsoft 365 - full enterprise migration, zero critical downtime

BambooHR implementation - 70+ employee workforce, full audit readiness

Monday.com to GSP migration - workflows redesigned across 6 countries

AI-powered lead ecosystem (Element451 + GSP) - 50,000+ monthly interactions

Power BI intelligence dashboards - 300,000+ records, real-time executive visibility

IT department built from scratch - recruitment, structure, operating model

£400k+ annual technology budget co-managed across all platforms

13-person Support and Data team led through full transformation

Products I have built from scratch

Most consultants recommend tools. I build them when they do not exist. These are products I have designed, built, and shipped - two running in active daily use inside a 70-person organisation, two live personal projects with real users.

Is your operational infrastructure keeping up?

I take on a small number of engagements at a time so I can do the work properly. If your systems are becoming the constraint on your growth rather than the engine of it, I want to hear about it.
