Hi, I’m Alina! I don't just manage projects; I protect your timelines and optimize your bottom line. Backed by a diverse background spanning civil engineering compliance, fast-paced live marketing events, and rigorous logistics data auditing, I step into busy pipelines to eliminate operational chaos. In the past 18 months alone, I have successfully delivered over 40 marketing and live event projects, consistently hitting a minimum 40% net profit benchmark, including a recent enterprise exhibition build executed on a 47% margin. My focus is entirely on tight behind-the-scenes execution: streamlining digital workspaces, coordinating sub-contractors, managing complex compliance paperwork, and auditing supplier invoices to catch costly discrepancies before they hit your books. I partner with boutique agencies and independent contractors on a flexible, fractional basis (10–15 hours a week), giving growing businesses elite operational backup and guaranteed commercial control without the full-time employee overhead. Based in High Wycombe. Available for remote support and on-site coordination.
