COO & Consultant | Creating high-performance remote organisations 👨‍💻🌍

I work with leaders to intentionally design remote organisations & ways of working, laying the foundations for rapid scaling, long-term organisational health, and a globally distributed workforce.

I spent 2021 at Oyster, scaling their fully-remote (globally distributed) company from 14 to 500 people (and a $1bn valuation). Which was absolutely wild.

I work mostly at the intersection of system design, human behaviour, remote work & operations. I'm convinced that knowledge work has no borders and the "remote work revolution" has the power to make the world a fairer and more equal place for everyone. Globally distributed companies are the future.  And the remote workplace should be diverse, safe & supportive for all.

I talk about "Organisational Health" a lot because healthy orgs feel calm when ploughing through unknown waters at 1000mph and can operate on the edge of chaos without being chaotic: much better for our people, and our business. Since systemic health problems have a disproportionately large effect on distributed remote teams (and quickly compound with scale), I'm on a mission to help folks be more intentional about how they design & transform remote-first orgs.

If you've read this far you *might* be interested to know...

· I've a sporadic sideline in personal coaching and team facilitation.
· I used to be a software engineer, but realised I have a much bigger impact when I help others do their thing better. And now that's my thing. (I still code, but just for fun.)
· Before that I was a blues musician. I still perform and jam lots: music has this weird ability to transcend language and cultural barriers.
· I'm a generalist. Obviously. Sorry not sorry.


In the past, my desire to "make work better for everyone" saw me doing:

· Education → curriculum design, learning design, teaching etc.
· Engineering process → DevOps, architecture etc
· Agile coaching & delivery process (SAFe still gives me nightmares).
· Design systems before they were hip.

Founder @RollingRemotely👩‍💻 | Helping you build a life you don’t need a vacation from 🌎 | Top 1% Global Remote Creator on Favikon | | Learning Design | Community

After years of struggling to find balance between my career ambitions and personal life in a traditional 9-to-5 job, I found my true calling in remote work. 

It wasn’t just about location flexibility, I wanted to create a life where work supported my well-being, not the other way around.

I started working remotely at Oyster HR and then transitioned into freelance consultancy work.

Since embracing this shift, I've:

→ Transformed 30+ LinkedIn profiles for founders, consultants, and remote workers, helping them land investment opportunities, more business,  and career roles.

→ Helped a unicorn founder scale his LinkedIn personal brand by +145%, driving increased visibility, engagement, and business opportunities.

→ Supported 15+ founders with their LinkedIn content strategy, elevating their presence to attract strategic partnerships and investment.

Previously: 
→ Launched and optimized learning programs, including a certification course, reaching over 3,000 learners.
→ Onboarded 600+ community members for the People Builders community at Oyster in just 4 months.
→ Designed courses and content strategies for companies like Oyster, WeSchool, and Lighthouse Labs.
→ Led 20+ workshops, co-wrote 6 playbooks, and created monthly newsletters that keep communities connected and engaged.

In November 2023, I founded Rolling Remotely to help remote workers and companies connect with opportunities that fit their lives, not the other way around. 

My mission is to help people build careers they love while empowering founders and brands to connect authentically with their audiences.

💝 Coaching and Consultancy for Remote Work: Helping people update their CVs and applications (for remote work).
