Solving Wicked Problems in the Wild

Operations isn’t clean. It’s messy, high-pressure, Constantly moving

I’ve built a career out of stepping into that space — where processes stall, systems misfire, and teams are stuck — and turning it into progress.

I don’t run from that. I run straight at it.

I work at the intersection of continuous improvement, frontline capability, and real-world leadership collide. Not from a spreadsheet, but from the floor — in timber mills, manufacturing sites, and high-stakes environments where clarity, trust, and results aren’t optional.

This site is where I share what I’ve learned — and what I’m still learning.
Not the theory. Not the polished leadership posters.
But the mindset, models, and muscle it takes to move a team and a system from stuck to sharp.

This Isn’t for Everyone. And That’s the Point.

Who This Is For

• Ops leaders wanting to drive results and capability in chaos
• Production teams chasing progress, not perfection
• Anyone ready to lead in pressure, not just present in meetings
• People building culture with calluses, not Canva decks

Progress isn’t Polite 

I’m not here to impress you with polished theory. I’m here to show what real progress looks like — the kind that sticks when the shift gets messy.

If it’s broken, I’ll fix it.

If it’s unclear, I’ll simplify it.

If it’s working, I’ll build on it.”

Welcome to the sharp end of optimisation.
