Hi, I'm Tiana! An operations and account management professional based in Cape Town, South Africa. TL;DR: I'm the person businesses trust to hold things together. I manage client relationships, coordinate internal teams, build the systems that keep everything on track, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks, even when there's a lot moving at once. If you need someone who can sit between leadership, delivery teams, and clients and keep all three aligned, that's exactly where I thrive. The Fine Print: Over the past few years I've worked across property management, AI and tech companies, and service-based businesses in the US and UK, consistently in roles where I owned the operational and client-facing side of the business. I've served as the central point of contact for entire client portfolios, coordinated directly with development and delivery teams, and built the internal systems and accountability structures that let founders step back from day-to-day firefighting and focus on growth. Most recently, I worked as an Account Manager and Operations Lead for a US-based AI company, where I owned the relationship between leadership, a development team, and our external client base. I tracked every active workstream, flagged issues before they became client-facing problems, and translated technical detail into clear updates that kept clients confident and informed. I built and maintained my own tracking systems to manage a wide portfolio of accounts simultaneously, each at a different stage, without anything slipping. Before that, I worked across property management and short-term rental operations in the UK and US, managing landlord and client relationships end to end, coordinating leases and property setup, and overseeing VA teams to make sure delivery stayed consistent and high quality. What I Can Help You With: Account & Client Relationship Management I manage client portfolios end to end, running onboarding, regular check-ins, and performance updates that keep people informed and confident. I'm comfortable being the face of a business to its clients, and I take real ownership of those relationships. Operations & Team Coordination I build and maintain the systems that keep a business running smoothly behind the scenes. SOPs, workflow tracking, task ownership, and accountability structures across tools like Notion, Monday, ClickUp, Asana, and Google Workspace. Project Management & Delivery Oversight I coordinate between leadership and delivery teams to keep projects on schedule and on spec, flagging blockers early and translating technical or operational detail into plain language that decision-makers can act on quickly. Why Clients Enjoy Working With Me: I take real ownership of the work I do, and I genuinely care about the businesses I work with. I communicate clearly, I'm organised by instinct, and I bring a solution-oriented mindset to everything, when something's wrong, I don't just flag it, I bring a fix. I learn new systems and businesses quickly, and I'm just as comfortable holding a senior, strategic conversation as I am getting into the operational detail that makes things actually happen. I'm also equally comfortable stepping into broader executive support when a business needs it. I'm naturally warm and easy to work with, but when it comes to the work itself, I'm focused, reliable, and genuinely invested in helping the businesses I work with grow. If you're looking for someone to own client relationships, bring order to your operations, or keep a fast-moving team aligned and accountable, I'd love to talk.
