Meet your operations team
Co-Founder - Operations strategy
Aly Nicolaou
Aly is ex-COO and founding team member of a scale-up consultancy. Discovering a passion for business operations she built and scaled the consultancy from scratch, recruiting and leading a high-performing team. To help other businesses achieve the same success, she developed an operations service pillar of the business, working with clients across many industries and sizes.
​
Aly’s core strengths lie in business strategy, team management and planning. People and culture are at the heart of what she does, believing that a happy and fulfilled team is a successful team.
​
She has over a decade of experience in business with a background in marketing and a Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing & Management).
​
Fun fact: Aly is an avid video gamer, wine lover and cat mum – she has probably one of the naughtiest cats around called Chester, so apologies in advance if he (quite literally) crashes your video call.

Sarah Clayton
Sarah has vast experience as a seasoned Operations Manager - she’s seen it all!
​
Having previously set up her own recruiting business, she loved establishing the business functions. After a successful exit, she knew operations was her calling!
​
From warehouse management, CRM implementation, finance system overhauls, and leading software development projects to coordinating renovations and office/warehouse relocations. She’s not afraid (and actually loves) to get her hands dirty, ensuring that everything behind the scenes is running smoothly.
​
Fun fact: Aside from operations Sarah has an extremely varied background which includes sweet potato farming (a prerequisite to work in Aus!), being a qualified personal trainer, a degree in Design Crafts (or a knitting degree as Aly likes to call it!) and is a seasoned “sandwich artist”.
