Christian Blem C.

Make, Airtable, Automation Expert | 30+ Workflows Live | Ex-Deloitte

I help founders and lean teams get 20+ hours a week back by turning manual operations into automations that run without them. What makes me different: most automation freelancers hand you a workflow and disappear. I spent five years at Deloitte designing automation for government institutions, then a decade leading product teams, so I map your whole operation first and automate the parts that are actually costing you money - not the parts that are easiest to build. Recent results: - 30+ Make automations across 10+ connected systems for a UK membership platform - 15+ hours a week saved, with payments, failed-payment recovery and availability all running unattended • 7+ enterprise automation programmes at Deloitte - 85% reduction in manual case handling, DKK 1.88M a year in consultant cost removed • AI intelligence pipeline for a UN Secretary-General campaign - global news scanned daily, synthesized and published into Notion with zero manual publishing • Salesforce rollout across 6 markets simultaneously - three legacy systems retired, 100% on-time adoption Most clients come to me because the business works but the operation does not scale. Manual handoffs, tools that do not talk to each other, someone copying data between spreadsheets every morning, revenue leaking through failed payments nobody chases. That is where I create the most leverage. ============================ START HERE: THE AUTOMATION AUDIT Not sure where automation would pay off first? I run a fixed-fee audit. I map your current workflows, find the bottlenecks that cost the most, and hand you a prioritised plan with estimated hours saved and build effort for each opportunity. You keep the plan whether or not you hire me to build it. Most clients start here, move into a build, then keep me on a monthly retainer once the systems are running. ============================ HOW I HELP Automation Audit - Workflow mapping, bottleneck analysis, and a prioritised roadmap with hours saved per opportunity. Fixed fee, one week. Automation Build - Production automations in Make, n8n and direct APIs: payments, onboarding, CRM sync, reporting, dunning, internal ops. Documented and handed over so your team can own them. AI Agents & Pipelines - Multi-step systems combining data ingestion, LLM reasoning and automated publishing that run autonomously in production, not just in a demo. Monthly Automation Retainer - Ongoing monitoring, fixes, and new automations as the business changes. Think insurance: your systems keep working and keep improving without you thinking about them. Product Leadership - For teams that need strategy as well as build. Roadmap, prioritisation, and shipping. 10+ years across SaaS startups, Fortune 500 consulting at Deloitte, and a full startup-to-acquisition cycle. Enterprise RPA - Hands-on UiPath experience from Deloitte, including scalable architectures and training internal teams to own the systems long-term. ============================ WHAT CLIENTS SAY "Christian is absolutely fantastic to work with.
