I help founders and executives focus on the big picture, while I own the operations and keep everything running behind the scenes.
With 12+ years running back-office functions for global organizations including P&G, Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, Airbnb, and Indeed, I bring Fortune 500 discipline to growing businesses.
As your Fractional COO / Chief of Staff, I handle:
1. Building systems & SOPs that scale
2. Project & program coordination end-to-end
3. Team management and cross-functional alignment
4. Stakeholder communication and executive support
I've helped clients reduce operational bottlenecks, build lean scalable systems, and free up executive time so leadership can focus on growth.
My clients don't just get tasks done, they get someone who spots the gaps, fixes the process, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
If you're scaling and need operations handled properly, let's talk.

Ranked among top admin support professionals at Upwork :)
In ~16 years freelance career, I have earned recognition for online research/investigations, Google advance WebSearch, report writing, data management, sourcing and more .... while gaining experience of an advance level in MS Excel/Word/Power Point, Google Docs, major social media networks and many cloud based data/collaboration platforms/tools ....
Particularly in the recent 3.7 years with LevelPlay LLC (anti-counterfeit project), I had the opportunity to grow from Investigation Associate to Senior Investigator, while managing team and a number of processes simultaneously.
Recommendation by Daniel Walling, Founder at LevelPlay LLC:
“Ash is an exceptionally dedicated worker and a strong communicator. This enables him to constantly improve his methods and master new tasks. He reliably handled many of our high priority operations assignments and provided training and feedback to more junior team members.”
Further it has been the amiable appreciation of employers that I reached Top Bracket (#14) at Elance (Admin Support professionals) in 2011 :)
My commitment is supported with long term consistent performances and employer feedback.
Looking forward with the same commitment and dedication :)
