ABOUT
Catherine Pratt
Mission: Organise chaos. Unlock growth
My mission is to support small and growing businesses in building the operational foundations required for sustainable scale. Leveraging extensive experience across both corporate and start-up environments, I bring a pragmatic and structured approach to business operations, ensuring that strategy is effectively translated into execution.
Having worked alongside a wide range of entrepreneurs, I have seen first-hand the challenges many face: a clear vision for growth, but limited time or inclination to focus on the operational detail required to deliver it. The day-to-day realities of running a business—processes, systems, and structure—can quickly become overwhelming, yet they remain critical to long-term success.
But the journey doesn't need to be painful or overwhelming. I work in close partnership with founders and leadership teams to introduce clarity, accountability, and robust processes, enabling organisations to move beyond reactive management.
By putting the right structures in place at the right time, I empower businesses to operate with greater efficiency, resilience, and confidence as they grow.
OUR SERVICES
OPERATIONAL HEALTH CHECK
Turn operational noise into clear priorities
Our Operational Health Check gives you a clear, expert view of how your business is really performing behind the scenes. Through a focused, end-to-end review of your operations, we uncover what’s working, what’s holding you back, and where the biggest opportunities lie.
You’ll walk away with a practical, prioritised roadmap—so you know exactly what to fix, what to focus on next, and how to move forward with confidence.
FRACTIONAL/INTERIM COO
Organise the chaos. Deliver the plan.
A fractional or interim COO gives you senior operational leadership without the full-time cost—stepping in to bring order, focus, and momentum to your business.
More than just strategy, they roll up their sleeves to implement the priorities identified in your Operational Health Check—fixing what’s slowing you down and putting the right structures in place.
The result? A business that runs smoothly, executes effectively, and is built to scale.
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Strategic Operational Leadership
Our Non-Executive Director service delivers the strategic insight of an experienced board advisor with the commercial and operational firepower of a seasoned COO.
We do more than advise — we help businesses make sharper decisions, move faster, and execute with confidence. Combining independent challenge with hands-on operational expertise, we bridge the gap between ambitious strategy and real-world delivery.
Working closely with founders and leadership teams, we drive focus, accountability, and momentum — helping businesses scale smarter, strengthen performance, and turn ambition into measurable growth.
PHILOSOPHY
Our Core Beliefs
Keep it simple
We believe the best solutions are clear, practical, and easy to execute. Simplicity creates focus, removes friction, and helps businesses move faster with confidence.
Build together
Lasting success comes from collaboration. We bring people together around shared goals, creating aligned teams that trust each other and deliver more collectively than individually.
Listen first
Strong businesses are built on understanding people. We listen carefully, value different perspectives, and use insight from across the organisation to make better decisions.
Enjoy the journey
Business should be ambitious, rewarding, and human. We bring energy, positivity, and perspective to each day — because people and teams perform better when they enjoy what they do.
Empower people
Great leadership creates confidence and accountability. We give teams clarity, support, and ownership so they can make decisions, grow, and perform at their best.
