Lya Pfäffli Consulting
Turning strategy into clear, confident execution
Senior operations support for founders and organisations seeking clarity, coordination, and dependable delivery.
How I Work
A calm, embedded approach to operational delivery
I support organisations and founders as an embedded, hands-on operations partner on a part-time, fractional basis, providing practical, day-to-day operational support that fits within existing teams.My focus is on turning strategy into steady practical delivery: clarifying priorities, coordinating people and timelines, and creating the structure needed for work to move forward without unnecessary urgency or noise.I’m comfortable working independently in complex, remote, and international environments, bringing a structured and reliable approach shaped by years of managing programmes, budgets, stakeholders, and delivery under real-world constraints.This way of working suits organisations who value clarity, steady progress, trust, and thoughtful execution over constant firefighting.

What I help with
I help founders and organisations regain clarity and momentum when operational complexity starts to slow things down. That often means translating strategic goals into clear, actionable plans, bringing structure to priorities and workflows, and facilitating better coordination across teams, partners, and stakeholders.I focus on strengthening delivery without adding unnecessary process, acting as a steady operational counterpart who helps leaders think things through, sense‑check decisions, and turn intent into action.My work is particularly valuable during periods of growth, change, or transition - when delivery matters, but internal capacity is stretched.
Engagements are usually part‑time and ongoing, providing consistent operational support that evolves with an organisation’s needs rather than short, one‑off interventions.
