Fractional Operations & Business Manager
Request a quote with no obligation
I provide calm, senior operational leadership to education and nonprofit organizations that need structure, stability, and sound judgment — without a full-time hire.
With over 20 years of experience in complex academic and mission-driven environments, I support organizations across HR, finance, governance, and day-to-day operations. I work most often with independent schools, research centres, arts and cultural organizations, and nonprofits that have outgrown informal systems or are navigating transition.
My work is hands-on and practical. I help organizations manage budgets and financial oversight, support unionized and contract staff, strengthen internal processes, and provide trusted operational support to directors, boards, and committees.
I’m known for discretion, steady judgment, and a people-centred approach — particularly in environments where the work matters deeply, but operational demands can feel overwhelming.
Engagements are typically part-time and flexible, structured as ongoing fractional support, interim leadership, or short-term operational assessments.
If you’re exploring fractional operational support or navigating a period of change, I’m always open to an informal conversation.
