I have over 15 years of experience in executive support and office operations, and I genuinely enjoy helping leaders and teams stay organized, focused, and stress-free. Supporting founders and executives is my passion—it’s rewarding to make their workday run smoothly while learning from their experience.
I’m hands-on, reliable, and thrive on creating structure and clarity in busy environments. I’ve managed executive operations, coordinated global travel, and led office operations across international locations, building teams and improving processes along the way.
I’m fluent in English and German, and also speak Ukrainian and Russian. I love working with diverse teams and creating positive, well-organized workplaces where people can do their best work

You built your business doing what you love. Now you're drowning in operations you didn't sign up for.
I'm Petros - an Executive Operations Partner who helps founders, creators, and coaches reclaim their time through structured accountability and AI-powered systems. I architect your backend, automate what should be automated, and hold you accountable to what actually moves the needle.
Bilingual in German and English. Trusted with sensitive projects - Discretion. 100% client success score. $10K+ in client earnings.
My Journey: From VA to Operations Partner
I started as a Virtual Assistant three years ago, handling inbox management, calendar scheduling, and customer support for busy entrepreneurs and companies. Through hundreds of client interactions across industries, I recognized most founders don't lack ambition - they lack operational infrastructure and external accountability.
So I evolved. I deepened my expertise in AI workflow automation, systems architecture, and progress facilitation. Today, I operate as a strategic partner, not only as a task-doer. My VA foundation means I can handle premium-level operational support when you need it - executed with the speed, discretion, and professionalism that only comes from years of frontline experience.
How I Deliver Results:
Operational Architecture
The backend systems that make your business invisible to you - until you need them.
I build and maintain the operational infrastructure that lets you focus on revenue-generating work:
- Inbox and communication systems that filter noise and surface what matters
- Calendar and meeting operations with prep, summaries, and action tracking
- CRM and project management (Notion, ClickUp, HubSpot) configured to your workflow
- SOPs and process documentation that survive turnover and scale with your team
- Premium-level VA execution when you need reliable, high-standard operational support
Executive Accountability
The structure and support that turns intentions into execution.
Weekly check-ins, goal tracking, and progress facilitation for people who are already driven but need external structure:
- Weekly planning and prioritization aligned to quarterly goals
- Progress tracking and pattern analysis to identify what's working
- Resistance navigation - support through overwhelm, procrastination or self-sabotage
- Micro-step systems that make big goals feel actionable
AI Workflow Orchestration
Smart automation that preserves quality while eliminating repetition.
I design human-AI collaboration systems:
- AI-optimized workflows for research, drafting, and content operations
- Smart automations connecting your tools (CRM to Email to Project Management)
- Quality-controlled AI output - human oversight on everything that represents your brand
- Realistic AI strategy - ethical, effective, tailored to your tech comfort level
Content Operations
The production engine behind your creative output.
Not just editing - content systems:
- Podcast and video editing (Final Cut Pro, Descript, CapCut)
- Content repurposing workflows—one piece of content becomes 5+ assets
- Strategic content planning and editorial calendars
- AI-enhanced drafting with human final polish
Customer Experience Operations
Protecting your brand when things go wrong. 5+ years in high-volume support.
I manage the moments that make or break client relationships:
- Shopify, HubSpot, Zendesk, Salesforce ticket management
- Refund and escalation handling with brand-preserving communication
- Customer journey optimization - fixing friction before it becomes a complaint
- Discreet, confidential work with sensitive data
Who I Work Best With
I work best with passionate, ambitious people who are excellent at their craft but exhausted by the operations surrounding it:
- Creators and podcasters who need production systems, not just editing
- Coaches and course creators who need operational infrastructure that scales
- Health and wellness professionals (nutritionists, trainers, Heilpraktiker, physiotherapists) who need calm, structured systems - not more hustle
- Founders who need a thinking partner, not just a task-doer
Common thread: You want to do meaningful work without sacrificing your sanity. You value structure, but not rigidity. And you're ready to invest in systems that pay for themselves in reclaimed time and mental bandwidth.
Engagement Models
Project-Based: Flat-fee engagements for workflow design, SOP creation, CRM setup, or AI automation builds. Scope-defined, timeline-bound, outcome-delivered.
Ongoing Partnership: Monthly retainers for dedicated operational support, weekly accountability calls, and ongoing systems optimization. This is not "hours for tasks"—it's a strategic partnership with defined deliverables and clear ROI.
Hourly consultations available for specific advisory needs.
