My Work
A look at how I build operational infrastructure organizations need to grow, adapt, and run effectively.
The case studies below reflect the kind of operational challenges I help organizations solve: unclear processes, fragmented systems, organizational change, and too much institutional knowledge living in people’s heads.
From startups and small businesses to nonprofits and political organizations, my work has focused on building the systems, documentation, and operational infrastructure that allow people to work more effectively.
Startup Operations Audit
Turning a fragmented tech stack into a workable operating system.
A growing organization had accumulated multiple platforms and overlapping tools without a clear understanding of how they fit together.
I mapped the organization’s existing systems and workflows, identified redundancies and gaps, and developed an operational framework and SOP manual to clarify how the tools should actually be used.
The goal wasn’t a perfect system or a new platform. It was making better use of the tools they already had.
Focus: Operations Audit • Workflow Mapping • Systems Optimization • SOP Development
Restaurant Operations
Building operational infrastructure from the ground up.
As co-founder of a BBQ restaurant employing approximately 25 people, I was responsible for developing and managing the operational systems required to run a growing, multi-function business.
This included SOPs, staff processes, financial controls, administrative systems, and day-to-day operational coordination.
The experience provided hands-on insight into the realities of implementing systems in a fast-moving environment where processes have to work for the people actually using them.
Focus: Operations Management • SOPs • Financial Controls • Team Systems • Process Improvement
Organizational Governance Overhaul
Modernizing organizational infrastructure to support effective leadership.
As Party Secretary, I led a comprehensive restructuring of a provincial political party’s governance framework.
The work involved reviewing and rewriting the constitution and bylaws, restructuring executive responsibilities, and creating clearer organizational processes and decision-making structures.
The objective was not simply to rewrite documents, but to create a governance framework that better supported how the organization actually operated.
Focus: Governance • Policy Development • Organizational Design • Change Management
Environmental Policy & Knowledge Management
I redesigned the production process for a 200-page annual report produced by a 20-person policy office. Drafts, reviews, editing, translation, design, and printing were difficult to coordinate due to inconsistent file storage, version control, and handoffs.
I introduced standardized file management, an Excel tracking system, documented workflows, and clear responsibilities.
The result: fewer errors, on-time delivery, and a system that scaled when reporting requirements expanded from one annual report to three.
Focus: Process Improvement • Workflow Design • Knowledge Management • Change Management
How I work
Diagnose. Build. Lead.
My work typically begins by understanding how an organization actually operates—not how its processes are supposed to work on paper.
From there, I identify the gaps, clarify the workflows, document what needs to be standardized, and help implement systems that people can realistically maintain.
For organizations that need more than a project-based engagement, I provide fractional operations leadership to keep improvements moving and ensure the infrastructure continues to support the organization’s goals.
