COO · Operations Leader · Systems Builder

I turn business growth into operational capability.

I build the people, processes and systems that help growing businesses scale without operational chaos or constant founder intervention.

Peach Anne McAndrew
What I do

I step into the messy middle between growth and the systems needed to sustain it.

My work sits at the intersection of operations, people, customer experience, project delivery and process design. I work where growth starts exposing the gaps in a business — unclear processes, overloaded teams, fragmented systems and decisions that still depend on the founder. I build the structure, people and operating rhythm needed to keep the business moving.

Selected proof

The scale tells part of the story. The systems tell the rest.

Scaling the operational engine of a rapidly growing DTC business.

As COO, I own the operational side of an international beauty e-commerce business, with a particular focus on customer service, people, processes, partners, inventory coordination and performance.

The challenge

Commercial growth was creating a much larger operational load. Customer demand, support volume and post-purchase complexity were increasing faster than the original support structure could comfortably absorb.

What I built
  • Scaled customer support from 1 → 8 agents.
  • Developed and maintained SOPs, workflows and escalation processes.
  • Introduced data-driven performance management using Shopify and Freshdesk KPIs.
  • Managed returns, refunds, cancellations, disputes, chargebacks and complex escalations.
  • Coordinated partners and inventory-related operational requirements.
The result
~2,900%daily order-volume increase supported
1 → 8support team scaled

At Melewi, a Singapore-based digital design and development agency, I combined COO responsibilities with hands-on project leadership.

What I led

  • Managed contractors, partners, clients and distributed teams.
  • Led end-to-end digital projects across scope, timelines, budgets and delivery.

How I lead

Build people and systems that make the business less dependent on any one person.

Systems before heroics

If a problem keeps recurring, I look at the system before blaming the person.

Ownership over instructions

I give people context, accountability and room to make decisions rather than creating dependency.

Data creates visibility

The right metrics make bottlenecks visible and turn operational conversations into decisions.

Improve continuously

Good operations are never finished. I look for leverage through better processes, tools, automation and people.
