Start here
One first step, whichever way in.
Six ways in, one person doing the work. Whichever brings you here, the first step is the same: a free call, then two weeks to find out what to fix first.
01
A free 30-minute call
Tell me what’s stuck. No pitch deck. If I can’t help, I’ll usually know who can.
02
Two-Week Diagnostic
Two weeks to know what to fix first.
2weeks · 5 working days
- ✓An initial screen of six areas
- ✓One area chosen together, examined in depth
- ✓Root causes, not symptoms
- ✓A written action plan and a 90-minute review
- ✓A first action with a named owner and date
Fixed scope. Fixed price. The plan is yours.
03
Continue, or don’t
The plan is yours. Put it into practice yourself, or keep me on as an advisor or a fractional executive.
Find your way in
Which one sounds like you?
01 / 06
B2B Sales & Outbound
For whom
Founders whose revenue still depends on them picking up the phone.
You get
The system that produces leads, not a list of them: targeting, the outbound engine, what gets said, how a lead moves, what gets measured. Handed over working.
Not included
Leads. I don’t sell them; I build the machine that produces them.
Behind it
Sales floor to team lead in London. Operations at Webhelp. Founded Planas Chuliganas from zero. I run a 12,000-company outbound system of my own.
02 / 06
Operations & Scale-Readiness
For whom
Founders, solo or with a small team, who already have traction and are hitting the wall.
You get
I work out whether each break is unclear expectations, missing incentive, or missing tools, time or people. Then I build the structure that follows and stay hands-on through implementation.
Not included
More process for its own sake. If the problem is a tool, time or the person in the seat, you won’t get a procedure for it.
Behind it
Scaled operations from 10 to 120+ people across three countries. Built a company from zero. Strategy and process work for Spirits & Wine and Talava.
03 / 06
Market Entry & Expansion
For whom
Founders and business leaders ready to move into a new market.
You get
Go-to-market strategy, local operations setup, partnership and hiring strategy, positioning. Built for your market, not adapted from a generic playbook.
Not included
A playbook adapted from another market. The strategy is built for your market, from your numbers.
Behind it
The full Latvia market-entry launch for About You, a European fashion retailer doing 100M+.
04 / 06
Digital, Ecommerce & AI Growth
For whom
Businesses whose growth is capped by a weak digital presence, or who want AI working without the hype or the overspend.
You get
Ecommerce audit and fixes, SEO strategy, conversion rate optimisation. Google Ads and social media run against a sales target. B2B online ordering built around your products and prices. Practical AI for customer service, content drafting and reporting, on proven, affordable tools.
Not included
A website for looks alone, or ad spend without a measured result.
Behind it
Ran a performance SEO agency. Ecommerce, SEO and CRO delivery for Mineshop.
05 / 06
EU Funding & Grants
For whom
Companies with funding available for something they were going to do anyway.
You get
The funded project end to end: eligibility, application, procurement, milestone reporting, payment claims, and an audit file that holds up years later.
Not included
Work you don’t need. If a free route fits, such as Latvia’s European Digital Innovation Hubs, I’ll say so.
Behind it
Delivered a LIAA-funded digitalisation project at Uprankd, application through to reporting.
06 / 06
Fractional CEO & Executive
For whom
Companies that need leadership capacity now, when a permanent executive isn’t the right answer yet.
You get
Senior leadership in the seat, not on a slide: real operating authority across sales, operations and growth. 8 days a month, 6-month minimum.
Not included
Days beyond the agreement without a conversation first.
Behind it
Former CEO of an outsourcing business and an SEO agency. Two companies founded from zero. Led teams of 120+.
After the Diagnostic
How much of me you get

5 working days, once

Implementation.
Best when
You know something is wrong and not yet what to fix first.
Ongoing advisor
2 of about 20 working days a month
2 days a month, 3-month minimum

Fractional executive
8 of about 20 working days a month
8 days a month, 6-month minimum

Real operating authority and real accountability for outcomes.
Not included
Days beyond the agreement without a conversation first.
Best when
You need leadership now, and a permanent hire isn’t right yet.
Custom partnership
Faster or slower, as you need
Hours, pace and fee agreed up front
Included
The execution you need, at the pace you need: more of my time if you want output faster, less if a steadier pace suits. Hours and fee agreed with you up front.
Not included
Open-ended hours. What we agree is written down, and any change is agreed before it happens.
Best when
You need a pace the other three don’t fit.
Before you book
Six questions
What does it cost?
The Diagnostic is a fixed price, confirmed on the call before anything starts. Advisor, fractional and custom terms are agreed in writing up front.
What size of company is this for?
Founders and SMB leadership teams. Solo or with a team, funded or bootstrapped.
Latvian or English?
Both. We work in whichever language your team works in.
Remote or on site?
Both. Remote, on site, or a mix, whichever the work needs. I’m based in Riga.
What happens after the call?
If there’s a fit, you get a written scope that states what is in and what is out. Nothing starts until you agree to it.
What if it isn’t a fit?
I’ll tell you on the call. If I can’t help, I’ll usually know who can.
Thirty minutes, no pitch deck
Tell me what’s stuck and I’ll tell you whether I can help. If I can’t, I’ll usually know who can.
