Better Decisions. Better Operations. A Better-Run Business.

You've built a successful business. But as it grows, new challenges emerge that working harder alone won't solve.


I help established business owners tackle challenges in growth, operations and leadership through experienced, independent strategic advice.

Does this sound familiar?

• Your team still depends on you for everyday decisions, even after you've delegated responsibilities.

• Deadlines are missed, clients complain, and mistakes keep recurring, leaving you constantly checking the work.  

• You keep correcting, explaining, or taking over tasks that your team should be handling. 

•    You're considering new opportunities, services, or hires, but aren't sure what to prioritise.

• Revenue is growing, but so is your workload, leaving you with less time to focus on the business.

You Don't Have to Figure It All Out on Your Own.

Whether you're facing challenges with growth, operations or your team,
sometimes you need an experienced, independent advisor to help you examine the situation and explore your options.

With ZJ we laid a solid foundation for our growth.

I found working with ZJ to be very professional. ZJ truly helped us with the direction our company was taking. Through various group sessions and preparatory assignments on our company's structure, we laid a solid foundation for our growth. Besides her professional approach, ZJ is personally engaged and very willing to brainstorm with us. Thank you, ZJ, for the pleasant collaboration!

I believe in hard work.
But I also believe there’s a better way to grow.

I grew up in an entrepreneurial family. My parents built a successful business through hard work and dedication. But I also saw how demanding running a business can become when everything depends on you.

Through more than 10 years in management consulting at EY and over 5 years advising business owners, I've seen how the right strategy, processes and leadership can help businesses operate more effectively.

I've always been drawn to finding better, smarter ways of doing things. Not by adding unnecessary complexity, but by questioning what isn't working and identifying what needs to change.

Today, I help established business owners navigate their challenges, make better decisions and build businesses that work better as they grow.

ZJ elevated Studio Samen to a more professional level and helped win a big contract (37k).

Before working with ZJ, I struggled to get time for strategy and I pitched my ideas to the wrong stakeholders at the client side.  ZJ helped me see where our value truly lies and this has helped us win a big contract at a client (37k) we are really happy about. We also defined what tasks I should or should not be doing.  Right now I’m creating a team and choose to focus more on strategy and high end selling for myself. What I like the most is that ZJ is an experienced consultant and has heaps of knowledge and feedback. She goes above and beyond to help you and she's only a call away.  ZJ really elevated Studio Samen to a more professional level.
