About Nora

Companies scale fast. Operations rarely keep up. I work with founders and leadership teams as a Fractional COO and Strategy Advisor, helping them close the gap between where they are and where they need to be.
My background spans senior operations leadership across Europe and the Middle East, including a COO role in the AV and event technology industry. I have managed complex organisations, redesigned broken processes, led teams through change, and built the operational infrastructure that makes growth sustainable.
I work on a fractional basis, typically 8-10 hours per week, which means you get COO-level thinking without the overhead of a full-time hire. I focus on the problems that are actually slowing you down: execution bottlenecks, process gaps, organisational friction, and strategy that exists on paper but is not being lived.
If your operations are struggling to keep up with your ambitions, let's talk.

I am a former COO with 15+ years of experience in operations, strategy, and organisational development. I have led companies through growth, change, and complexity, and I now bring that experience to founders and leadership teams on a fractional basis. Direct, practical, and focused on results that stick.

Experience

  • The Energy Dojo
    Founder
    June 2025 - Today (1 year and 1 month)
    The Energy Dojo is a simulation-based leadership training system designed for managers who need to change behaviour, not just gain knowledge. The core methodology uses realistic workplace scenarios to practise decision-making, team dynamics, frameworks, and operational clarity under pressure, the same conditions managers face in real life. Programs range from focused 6 weeks intensives to 12-month development tracks, built around a single principle: you only improve what you actually practise.

    Leadership Trainer
    October 2023 - Today (2 years and 9 months)
    Germany
    Independent leadership development practice working with managers and leadership teams in corporate environments. I design and deliver simulation-based training programmes that address real operational challenges, poor decision-making, team dependency, meeting inefficiency, and execution gaps. Unlike traditional training, the methodology is built around practise under realistic conditions, not theory. Clients work through scenarios that mirror the situations they face daily, building muscle memory for better leadership behaviour. Engagements range from focused intensive programmes to 12-month development tracks.

    May 2019 - April 2022 (2 years and 11 months)
    Qatar
    As COO of the Qatar branch, I owned full operational responsibility across HR, IT, finance, and business operations in the Middle East. I led a company-wide transformation programme covering process redesign, organisational restructuring, and cultural change across a multinational team. This role required navigating complex stakeholder environments, building operational infrastructure from the ground up, and driving execution in a high-growth, high-pressure context.
