SME & Tourism Advisory - Malawi & Southern Africa

Business systems & growth advisor for SMEs and tourism businesses.

Most businesses don't stall from a bad idea. They actually stall because there's no system behind the growth. I build the operations, standards, and structure that let a business grow without breaking. This is drawn from 12+ years designing and enforcing those same standards inside Malawi's national tourism authority.
