With 15+ years of experience in hospitality, business operations, client service, project coordination, and sales, I bring a proactive, solutions-focused approach to Executive Assistant and Personal Assistant support. As the co-owner of a boutique hospitality production company, I’ve managed complex schedules, client communications, proposals, vendors, staffing, travel logistics, invoicing, events, and multiple simultaneous projects.

How I Can Support You • Calendar and inbox management • Meeting scheduling and follow-up • Domestic and international travel planning • Research and vendor sourcing • Personal scheduling and lifestyle coordination • Project and task management • CRM updates and lead tracking • Proposal and document preparation • Client and vendor communication • Expense tracking and invoicing support • Event and hospitality logistics • Household and family coordination • B2B and B2C sales outreach • Lead follow-up and appointment setting Sales & Business Development Support I also bring hands-on B2B and B2C sales experience and can assist with: • Prospecting and lead generation • Cold and warm outreach • Discovery calls • Follow-up sequences • CRM management • Proposal preparation • Client relationship management • Appointment setting • Consultative sales and closing support Tools Google Workspace • Microsoft Office • Outlook • Asana • Slack • Zoom • Canva • QuickBooks • PandaDoc • CRM Platforms • Scheduling Software What You Can Expect • Clear and professional communication • Strong attention to detail • Fast follow-through • Discretion and confidentiality • Independent problem-solving • Organized systems and documentation • A calm, hospitality-focused approach to client service I’m particularly well suited for founders, executives, entrepreneurs, private families, and small teams who need a reliable right hand capable of handling both day-to-day details and larger projects. If you need someone who can step in, get organized quickly, and keep things moving without constant supervision, I’d be happy to discuss your project.

Your proposal wasn’t selected again, and you’re left wondering what the evaluators saw that you missed. My experience on both sides of the process—DoD federal contracting and freelance proposal development—helps me assess what your proposal clearly communicates, not what you intended the evaluator to understand. Review below my Upwork portfolio, five-star ratings, and client testimonials. My experience includes: • 12+ years as a GS-12 DoD Contract Specialist, including five years supporting the AFRL SBIR program • 3+ years in federal and SBIR proposal writing, strategy, and Red/Gold Team reviews • Founder of Up-Scale Projects, providing evaluator-informed federal and SBIR proposal support • GovCon educator sharing practical guidance online with SBIR awardees and federal contractors HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOUR TEAM MONTHLY FEDERAL & SBIR PROPOSAL RETAINER Ongoing writing, strategy, compliance, and review support across multiple DoD, federal, and SBIR opportunities, including: • Federal RFP and SBIR solicitation analysis • Compliance-matrix development • SBIR and federal proposal planning • Technical and management-volume writing • Red Team and Gold Team reviews • Submission-readiness support FOCUSED SBIR & FEDERAL PROPOSAL REVIEW An evaluator-informed review of your SBIR or federal technical proposal assessing: • Responsiveness and compliance • Clarity, organization, and evaluator readability • Technical merit and supporting evidence • Alignment with the solicitation and evaluation criteria • Gaps, inconsistencies, and unanswered questions SBIR & FEDERAL RFP READY A clear roadmap for developing a responsive SBIR or federal proposal, which may include: • Solicitation and requirements analysis • Compliance matrix • Evaluator-aligned proposal outline • Risks, gaps, and clarification questions • Recommended next steps While Upwork requires an hourly rate to be displayed, I primarily work on a fixed-price basis, with fees based on project scope, complexity, and deliverables. To discuss your SBIR or federal opportunity, send the solicitation, deadline, requested support, and current proposal status through Upwork.

I’ve been practicing commercial law for over 25 years, and am motivated by identifying creative solutions to challenging situations . I work with founders, business owners, investors, and international clients on the contracts and disputes that run their businesses - SaaS agreements, IP, employment, privacy, cease and desists, and more. My approach to drafting and dispute resolution combines creativity and persistence to reach practical outcomes for all parties. I’m direct, I move quickly, and I don’t dress things up. Background: LL.M. in Corporate Finance and M&A from Fordham Law, LL.M. in International Taxation from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, years at Deloitte (New York and Tel Aviv) on cross-border work, and years at Sunrise Securities Group counseling technology, cybersecurity, and real estate investment companies on financing, SEC reporting, and board governance.

What I work on most: • SaaS agreements, MSAs, and B2B commercial contracts • International and cross-border commercial transactions • Corporate counsel formation, governance, operating agreements, joint ventures • Corporate restructuring and reorganization • Tax planning and tax-driven structuring (U.S. and international) • Employment law agreements, contractors, non-competes, workplace issues • IP licensing, copyright protection, and infringement enforcement • Cease and desist letters • Privacy policies, terms of service, and data agreements • Demand letters and pre-litigation strategy • Ongoing counsel for small businesses What clients have said: “Absolutely top-tier. Strategic, fast, and incredibly professional.” “If you’re looking for an attorney who’s smart, intuitive, and truly looks out for you, Yael Katz is the one.” “Highly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and clearly an expert in her field.” Feel free to reach out for a non-billable preliminary consultation. I’ll give you initial guidance on what you’re working on, and we can take it from there.
