Do you work on an ongoing retainer or project basis?
Both! Because no two operational landscapes are the same, I don’t try to fit you into rigid, pre-packaged tiers. For ongoing support, we’ll design a bespoke monthly plan tailored to your specific workflow, typically between 10 and 35 hours per month. For distinct initiatives, like an operational overhaul or recruitment drive, we’ll map out a clear scoping document together so you get a transparent, value-led project quote.
Do you offer ad-hoc support?
Yes, depending on my current retainer capacity. If you have a short-term surge in workload, a sudden operational bottleneck, or a quick project that needs hands on deck, ad-hoc support is a great way to get immediate relief. We can explore what makes the most sense during our initial call.
Why hire a freelance Executive Partner over permanent staff?
You gain 25+ years of high-calibre executive support and operational expertise without the long-term overheads, like recruitment fees, benefits, desk space, or lengthy onboarding cycles. You get high-level impact from day one, with the flexibility to scale support as your business demands change.
What types of leaders do you support?
I partner with business owners, founders, managing directors and senior executive teams. My clients are typically growth-minded leaders who want to reclaim their time, eliminate operational noise, and make decisions with total clarity.
Do you work remotely or on-site?
I work fully remotely, using seamless digital systems to keep things running cleanly behind the scenes. However, if you are based within reasonable distance or need in-person support for critical board meetings, strategic planning sessions, or team workshops, on-site days can easily be arranged.
Do you publish your rates?
Because every leaders needs and operational friction points are unique, following our discovery call, I’ll provide a clear, transparent proposal, whether that’s a tailored monthly retainer or a fixed project fee, so you always have complete cost predictability with zero surprises.
How is my sensitive business data kept secure?
With absolute discretion and rigor. I am ICO registered for data protection, carry full Professional Indemnity insurance, and routinely work under Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Having spent decades handling confidential corporate data, board communications, and executive investigations, safeguarding your business information is built into everything I do.
How soon can we start?
We can often kick things off very quickly. During our discovery call, we’ll look at my current capacity and your timeline to agree on a start date. Once the agreement and brief onboarding details are squared away, I adapt to your working style instantly to add value from day one.
