MEET YOUR OBM

Hey, I'm Karen!

II help service-based business owners stop running every single part of their company, remove founder dependency, and build businesses that run smoothly and are ready for sale.

As a Fractional COO and Accredited Online Business Manager, I partner with founders who want senior operational leadership, clear systems, and peace of mind without the full-time overhead.

✅ I help service-based business owners:

Clean up messy backend operations and get workflows actually working

Set up and connect their tech stack so tools talk to each other

Build a centralised SOP vault so the business doesn't rely entirely on the founder

Manage day-to-day team execution and project boards

Put delegation structures in place that give your time and headspace back

Prepare your business operations for a smooth, high-value exit or sale

✅ Why founders choose to work with me
I bring over 30 years of business operations and executive management experience across diverse industries. I keep things practical, straightforward, and entirely free of corporate jargon. I focus on simple, solid systems that transform how your business operates.

Through Elevate Living, I help owners stop playing referee for their own teams, turning a chaotic day-to-day routine into an asset-driven business designed for real growth and long-term value. That's legacy!

✅ If you are ready to get your operations sorted, remove yourself as the bottleneck, and build something that runs smoothly on its own then LET'S TALK!

"I truly appreciate the passion and expertise you brought to the business. You didn't just give us a template; you implemented a highly efficient system that integrates costs, estimates, and design fees in one place.

Faster turnarounds on complex quotes.

Significant reduction in manual errors.

Our clients love the clear, digital, and professional proposals they now receive.

You have a gift for taking complex processes and making them seamless."

"Over the three years we worked together, Karen’s role naturally shifted from administration to running the team, building our systems, and implementing proper processes. She introduced an inventory management system, HubSpot for our CRM, marketing funnels, a professional quoting system, and internal communication tools that kept everyone aligned.

Because Karen took over the operations and built those systems, I was finally able to step out of the day-to-day grind and focus entirely on growing the business."
