I help founders and leadership teams tighten operations, ship products their customers actually use, and build business models that hold up in the real world. Expert-Vetted on Upwork (top 1% of talent), 100% Job Success, with 15+ years across operations, product and strategy leadership and $200K+ delivered here across 30 engagements. Most recently I served as interim COO of an IoT health-tech company building a connected senior-care ecosystem (a smart watch, fall-detection device, emergency response system, pill dispenser, smart door lock and blood-pressure monitor). I rebuilt operations across both hardware and software delivery and pulled product, engineering, finance, hiring and vendor management into one clean operating rhythm. A few results from recent work: - Ran four parallel workstreams for Galderma's launch of a prescription dermatology treatment, keeping the CRM, marketing automation and analytics tracks aligned to a single launch timeline. - Led the full-lifecycle launch of AI Studio, an end-to-end platform for fine-tuning and deploying large language models, taking it from a tangled backlog to a shipped product over several quarters. - Coordinated product and operations for Cerascreen, a consumer health-tech platform with diagnostic-lab integrations serving 350,000+ customers and 200,000+ lab tests a year. - Led product for an applicant tracking system at Ework Group, a Nasdaq-listed Nordic talent solutions firm, running a 15-person cross-functional team across Sweden and Poland. - Held a three-year operations engagement with Homodea, an EdTech and e-commerce business, supporting a 156,000-member learning community across 295 courses. How I help, in plain terms: Operations and Fractional COO I find what is actually slowing the business, whether it is people, process or tools, and fix it. I stand up the operating backbone most growing companies are missing: clear goals and a reporting cadence, hiring pipelines, vendor reviews and a weekly rhythm the whole team can follow. Where work is repetitive, I automate it with low-code tools so the team stops firefighting. The goal is simple: take the operational load off your plate so you can focus on leading. Product Management and Product Ownership I turn a fuzzy idea or a tangled roadmap into a prioritized, buildable plan. I own the backlog, write clean requirements and user stories, and run agile delivery so the team ships what customers need. I sit between stakeholders and engineering so both sides keep moving without friction. Business Model Validation and Growth Strategy Before you commit real budget to a new product, market or pivot, I stress-test the business model and surface the assumptions most likely to break the plan. When leadership is going in circles, I turn opinions into testable experiments and settle them with evidence. When growth has stalled, I rebuild the model around what works now. I have worked across SaaS, AI, health-tech, IoT, HR-tech, e-commerce, EdTech, AdTech and pharma digital launches, with founders and teams from the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland and Austria. Tools I use most: Jira, Confluence, Miro, Monday, ClickUp, Make, Zapier, n8n, Process Street, HubSpot, Salesforce and Claude. Fluent in English and native in German, so I am comfortable across DACH, UK, US and wider EU teams. If you need a Fractional COO to steady operations, a senior Product Manager or Product Owner to run a roadmap, or a focused session to pressure-test a new business model, send a message and we will see if it is a fit.

Is your business growing, but your operations are starting to feel messy? I help founders, business owners, and growing teams organize projects, workflows, people, tools, and daily operations so the business runs with more clarity, accountability, and less firefighting. With 12,000+ Upwork hours, 100% Job Success, Top Rated Plus status, and long-term experience across both growing businesses and enterprise teams, I bring practical structure to companies that need better systems, stronger follow-through, and cleaner execution. I have supported business and project operations connected to companies such as Microsoft, Upwork, Indeed, and LinkedIn, while also working closely with small and mid-sized businesses that need hands-on operational help. My work is focused on one main goal: Helping your business run better. I can help you with: • Operations management and day-to-day business coordination • Project management, planning, task tracking, and execution • Workflow improvement and process optimization • SOP creation, documentation, and internal process mapping • Team coordination, ownership structure, and accountability systems • AI automation and workflow automation for repetitive tasks • KPI tracking, reporting, dashboards, and performance visibility • Tool setup and optimization: Asana, Airtable, Slack, Trello, ClickUp, Google Workspace, and similar platforms • E-commerce operations, customer support workflows, inventory coordination, and internal systems • Founder support, business organization, and operational cleanup I am a strong fit if: • Your team is busy, but responsibilities are unclear • Projects are active, but follow-through is inconsistent • You have too many tools, but no clear operating system • You need SOPs, workflows, reports, or dashboards your team will actually use • You are growing and need someone to bring structure without overcomplicating the business • You need an experienced operations/project manager who can step in, understand the business, and start improving how work gets done I am not here only to “manage tasks.” I help identify bottlenecks, organize priorities, improve communication, create clear processes, and build simple operating systems that help teams work better. My approach is practical, calm, and hands-on. I focus on systems that are simple enough to use, but strong enough to support growth. Whether you need a short operations audit, workflow cleanup, SOP setup, automation support, or ongoing project/operations management, I can help you create a more organized and scalable way to run the business.

I help founders, startups, and personal brands grow through strategy-led social media and video content – not trends, noise, or guesswork. I’ve been working in this space for years, scaling brands from the ground up. I don’t just “do” social media. I design systems that build demand, authority, and revenue, and then execute them with precision. Relevant Experience – Scaled a design education brand from 0 → 130,000 followers and from $0 → consistent multi–5 figures/month through organic social media alone – Led brand positioning, content strategy, video editing, and 40+ product launches across multiple niches and price points – Built and scaled multiple personal brands across coaching, education, lifestyle, and niche markets (0 → 30k, 0 → 70k, 0 → 240k, 7000 → 95k, 25k → 42k etc) – Helped creators and founders turn attention into waitlists, sales, memberships, and long-term audiences My work sits at the intersection of strategy, psychology, and execution. I focus on why content works, not just how it looks. What I Specialise In Social Media & Growth Strategy – Brand positioning & differentiation – Social media strategy informed by audience psychology – Scalable content systems (not one-off posts) – Pre-launch and growth roadmaps – Platform-native strategy for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube – Turning content into demand, leads, and revenue Strategic Video Editing – Long-form YouTube content (clean, intentional, narrative-driven) – Short-form content for IG / TikTok / Shorts (clarity over flash) – Paid ad creatives for Meta & TikTok – Hook development, pacing, and retention optimisation I edit with intent: clarity, structure, and storytelling first, always. Startup & Creator Consulting – Early- and growth-stage startup support – Product strategy & launch planning – Monetisation strategy (education, services, memberships, digital products) – Strategic direction for creators scaling into businesses If you’re looking for someone who understands how social media actually drives growth and revenue, not just how to post, we’ll be aligned.
