Fractional Manager & Change Management Consultant
Businesses are built by people.Understanding both is the difference between change that works and change that doesn't.
I help founder-led, family-run, and boutique businesses navigate growth, transition, and organisational change. Through consultancy, fractional management, or interim leadership.
Who is it for
For the founder, owner, or leader who is ready for a focused, temporary partnership through a period of change, growth, or transition.
I work specifically with businesses, where culture and values matter, and so do the results. My approach is built on performance enhancing methods: practical, structured work that improves how people, roles, and decisions perform, and shows up in the numbers as much as in the culture. Our partnership could be useful for you if you experience one or more of the following.
Every key decision waits for you, and decision time is longer than it should be. The business works because you make it work, and that is starting to feel like a constraint.
Revenue is moving. The systems and ways of working around it have not kept pace and you can feel it.
Overheads, headcount, or spend that no longer lines up with what it delivers. You want a straighter line between cost and result.
The people are right. What is missing is the clarity, accountability, and structure that turns capability into consistent output.
Less involved in the day-to-day, more focused on direction. You want to trust your team to hold things and give them the structure to do so.
Maternity leave, succession, a new senior hire. The sort of change that deserves more than being improvised around.
What worked when the business was smaller is creating drag now. You are aware of it. You just have not had the space to redesign it.
A new market, a second site, a different model. The opportunity is clear enough. The operational path through it less so.
Not hastily, not disruptively. The kind of change that holds and that your team actually comes with you through.
What worked when you started does not always scale with the business as it grows. It is worth checking, every so often, whether your direction, and the team behind it, still fit.
The business context is always different. The human dynamics at the root of it follow a common thread.
How I work
What working with me can actually mean
Every engagement is different. The scope, the pace, and the level of involvement are shaped around what the business needs at that point in time.
I work inside the business, with the team, on the things that need attention. Roles, structure, decisions, people.
Roles, structure and efficiency
Who does what, where accountability is unclear, and how the business is laid out so that work flows better and effort is not duplicated. Decision time and duplicated effort are usually the first things to visibly improve.
Operational and team leadership
Clear direction, day to day decisions, a steady pace. The business keeps moving, people know what is expected of them, and a founder's time typically shifts from mostly operational to mostly strategic, freeing up as much as half their week.
Financial diagnosis
Finding where the numbers are struggling, using metrics chosen for the industry, ones that genuinely measure and help grow performance and efficiency. I also look at the decisions and relationships behind the numbers, and address the issues at their root.
Restructuring
Restructuring roles and responsibilities to reduce friction and cost, typically visible within a few months as a lower overhead to revenue ratio. Supporting the founder through the harder decisions that sometimes come with that, including those involving people.
Outsourcing and hiring
Identifying where the right external support or a well placed hire would free up capacity and reduce internal strain, freeing measurable hours back into the week.
Performance, goals and accountability
The right numbers in front of the right people, from error and rework rates to staff retention, connected to simple rhythms that keep daily work focused on what actually matters.
Management development
Building the layer below the founder so the business becomes less dependent on one person, shortening time to fill senior roles and the time it takes new leaders to get fully up to speed.
The full management role, from the inside. With the people side taken seriously from the start.
Services
Consultancy, fractional management, and interim leadership, from a single conversation to a hands-on partnership. The right approach depends on the complexity of what you're facing, the pace of change, and how involved you need me to be.
A no-obligation conversation to talk through your situation, the challenges you're facing, and whether I'm the right person to support you.
Free
A focused session to gain clarity on a specific challenge, opportunity, or decision. Together we assess the situation, identify priorities, and define practical next steps.
€65
A business might need fractional leadership, a steady, part-time presence, or interim management, hands-on and full-time for a defined period. Either way, the price is tailored to the country, the scope, and the size of the business.
Priced to scope
Every assignment starts with a free Clarity Call.
Who I am
Being good at structure and genuinely caring about people is the combination that makes this work, and it is what people feel when we work together.
I started building businesses at 21 and have not really stopped since. Nearly twenty years of running businesses and working through challenges have given me a particular understanding of what leadership and change actually require from the inside, and what a founder genuinely needs when navigating it.
What stayed with me from all of it is that the people in a business are its greatest asset. Choosing them carefully, building them up, and creating the conditions for them to do their best work is not a secondary concern. It is the work.
Outside of work I am a mother to a brilliant little boy. I live between Budapest and Copenhagen, travel often, and find genuine joy in cultivating meaningful relationships.
I work with clients across Europe, in person when the project calls for it and remotely when it does not.
Sustainable change happens when strategy, structure, leadership, and people move as one. That alignment is rare. It's also where the real work begins.
Selected work
Different businesses, the same questions.
A Danish marketing agency's founder was preparing for maternity leave and wanted the business to keep moving without her daily involvement. I stepped in as interim leader for six months, keeping things steady and the team supported. As she returned, gradually, on her own terms, my role shifted into fractional support, then stepped back entirely once the business no longer needed it.
A manufacturing business had grown quickly, but responsibilities and reporting lines hadn't kept pace. Working with the founder and the management team, we clarified accountability, strengthened leadership capability, and improved how departments communicated. The result was a more confident management layer, and a founder with more room to breathe.
A family business was moving between generations while trying to hold steady for employees and customers alike. My role was to support communication, clarify responsibilities, and help shape a structure that allowed for both continuity and change. What could have been an unsettled period became a considerably smoother one.
A boutique property management company in France was growing faster than its operations could comfortably support. Before pursuing further expansion, we looked closely at leadership capacity, organisational structure, and how resources were being used. This gave the business a stronger foundation and reduced the risk of growth outpacing what it could handle.
A Romanian business wanted to establish itself in Hungary without immediately bringing in a full-time senior executive. I helped build the initial structure, recruit key people, coordinate local operations, and navigate the cultural and communication differences of working across borders. Once the local team was in place, responsibility was handed over gradually to permanent leadership.
After many years building a successful chain of coffee shops, the founder decided it was time for a different chapter. I supported the transition: preparing the business for reduced founder involvement, strengthening internal leadership, and supporting the sale process itself. The business continued operating without disruption, and the handover to new ownership was a considerably smoother one.
Every change begins with being properly understood.
A Clarity Call is a chance to talk through your situation, your goals, and what the right next step might look like, with no obligation attached.
