Behind every visionary CEO is an Alfred. Every growing business reaches a point where an organizational overhaul is required to make scaling possible. I provide the operational structure and oversight that allows founders to stop micromanaging daily tasks and start leading again. With over 7 years of experience in project management and operations, I specialize in moving businesses from a state of reactive growth to efficient, predictable scaling. My background includes leading teams of over 75 professionals across departments such as Paid Advertising, SEO, Development, and Client Success. Having managed 20 plus client accounts simultaneously, I understand how to maintain stability in fast-paced agency environments without sacrificing quality. Primary Areas of Impact - Direct Project Management: I utilize PMP level methodologies and Agile frameworks to ensure efficient information sharing, resource allocation, and deadline control. - Process Development: I analyze and automate daily workflows, building the SOPs and internal systems necessary for a team to perform at a high level without friction. - Tool Architecture and Migration: I specialize in choosing and setting up project management software such as Asana, ClickUp, or Monday so the platform actually supports your team rather than complicating their work. - Team Leadership: I align the efforts of developers, designers, and marketers with your revenue targets, ensuring that strategic decisions translate into consistent execution. I act as the central hub between leadership and technical teams. My role is to translate high-level business ideas into clear, actionable requirements for developers and creatives. While I am not a coder, I am deeply familiar with the software development lifecycle and technical project management, allowing me to resolve bottlenecks and keep production moving forward. I also focus on creating long-term systems rather than temporary fixes. My approach is rooted in operational clarity, ensuring that every team member knows exactly what to do and when to do it. I am highly proficient in a wide range of industry tools, including: - Project Management: ClickUp, Asana, Jira, Monday, Trello, and Notion. - Operations and CRM: HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Zoho, and Zendesk. - Collaboration: Slack, G-Suite, Microsoft Office, and Miro.

I help growing teams create the operational clarity that lets work move without friction. Over the past 8+ years, I have worked across SaaS, research, and professional services environments, supporting founders, leadership teams, and distributed teams who need reliable execution across projects, clients, and systems. At Sana AI, I spent over 1,000 hours as the team's core coordination partner, managing 20+ concurrent client onboardings, building and maintaining the help center and internal documentation, and becoming the go-to person for process clarity and setup questions. I owned client relationships end to end, from kickoff through go-live, while keeping internal systems current and leadership informed. That is the kind of work I do best: making sure nothing falls through the cracks, that the right people have the right information, and that execution stays consistent even when priorities shift. What I bring to a team: 1. Client and delivery oversight, aligning expectations, tracking progress, and ensuring work reaches measurable outcomes 2. Cross-functional coordination across distributed and async teams 3. SOP development and documentation that teams actually use 4. Operational visibility through dashboards, reporting frameworks, and structured check-ins 5. Onboarding systems that get new clients and team members up to speed without chaos I hold a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) credential and a Digital Business Manager (DBM) certification covering project management, ops and systems, and team management. Tools: ClickUp, Asana, Jira, Notion, Monday, HubSpot, Zapier, GHL, Google Workspace, Slack. I work best in long-term partnerships with teams that value clarity, calm execution, and consistent delivery over reactive firefighting.
