Hi, I'm Yasmine, and I help companies build the operating engine their strategy deserves. With 20+ years of experience (ex-Deloitte) across startups, scale-ups, small business and global enterprises, I've supported a USD 700M infrastructure program, helped a SaaS company raise BRL 20M in Series B funding, and partnered with leadership teams across technology, education, government, and professional services to turn complexity into clarity and strategy into execution. I work across industries and company sizes because the real skill has never been only sector knowledge, it's identifying what's actually blocking growth and building the right structure to move past it.
I've been working remotely for over 10 years, collaborating with distributed teams across multiple time zones and cultures. That experience means I know how to build alignment and drive results without being in the room.
WHERE I HELP MOST
Companies usually come to me when one of these sounds familiar:
· "We have a strategy, but execution keeps breaking down"
· "I'm the bottleneck for every decision in my company"
· "We're growing fast, but our operations can't keep up"
· "We have data, but no clarity on what actually matters"
· "We're preparing for investment and need to professionalize the operation"
· "We're implementing AI but not seeing real business results from it"
WHAT I BRING TO EVERY ENGAGEMENT
Clarity in complex environments. I walk into messy situations, competing priorities, misaligned teams, too much data and too little direction, and create a path forward that the whole organization can follow.
This includes AI readiness. Most companies approaching AI adoption focus on the technology. I focus on the organization, making sure the strategy, processes, data infrastructure, and people are ready to make AI actually deliver results, not just add complexity.
HOW I WORK
I use proprietary methodologies for both business diagnostics and data strategy, so every engagement starts with a structured, evidence-based understanding of the real situation before any solution is designed.
My process follows five stages:
1. Diagnostic — mapping the current state of strategy, operations, data, and governance
2. Bottlenecks — identifying what's actually blocking execution and growth
3. Priority map — aligning leadership around what needs to move first
4. Roadmap — building a clear, actionable plan with ownership and timelines
5. Monitoring — tracking progress and adjusting as the organization evolves
I work as a true partner throughout, not a vendor who delivers a report and disappears.
