Fractional & Interim Executive | Operations, Governance, Strategy & Brand | Non-Executive Director

About Me

Senior executive with 25 years across operations, strategy, governance, and brand, built largely inside entrepreneur-led organizations from early-stage ventures to publicly traded companies. I bring structure, process, and governance to fast-moving, unstructured environments, and I have helped carry a financial services company from startup through public listing. My governance background is hands-on: I built governance systems and served as corporate secretary for a public company through its growth. I am the founder of People Projects Inc., a fractional advisory practice, and I bring an operator's perspective to the boardroom, practical insight into execution, risk, and organizational structure. I am seeking non-executive and independent director roles where that experience adds value.
