𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬. 𝐈𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝, 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞. I help agencies, consultants, service-based businesses, and founders build operational systems that bring structure to their business, improve team collaboration, and keep projects moving from start to finish. Whether you’re scaling your operations, improving internal processes, implementing a new system, or optimizing the one you already have, I help create the structure that allows your business to grow with confidence. While ClickUp is often where the engagement begins, I love helping businesses improve workflows, strengthen operations, and build systems that support consistent execution as they grow. My approach combines business operations, project management, and workflow automation with platforms like ClickUp, Airtable, Monday, Make, Zapier, and n8n. Rather than forcing businesses to adapt to software, I build systems around the way they already work making operations simpler, more organized, and easier to manage. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬: Whether you need someone to build your systems, improve your operations, or support ongoing execution, I can help with: ● Business Operations Management & Process Improvement ● ClickUp, Airtable & Monday Workspace Design ● Workflow Automation using Make, Zapier & n8n ● Project Coordination & Cross-Functional Team Collaboration ● SOP Development & Process Documentation ● CRM Organization, Integrations & Data Migration ● Executive Operations Support & Meeting Coordination ● KPI Dashboards, Reporting & Operational Visibility. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤: Every business operates differently, so I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Before recommending software or building workflows, I take time to understand how your business operates, how information flows across your team, where work gets delayed, and what prevents consistent execution. From there, I design practical systems that improve communication, simplify day-to-day operations, and give your team the clarity they need to do their best work. The goal isn’t to build the most complex workspace or automation. It’s to build one your team will actually enjoy using months from now. 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞; Over the years, I have worked with agencies, consulting firms, construction companies, and service-based businesses to improve the way they operate. That has included redesigning ClickUp workspaces, organizing project delivery processes, building operational systems from the ground up, documenting SOPs, automating repetitive workflows, improving client onboarding, implementing CRM solutions, and creating dashboards that give leaders a clear view of projects, workloads, and business performance. Whether I’m supporting leadership, coordinating projects, or implementing new systems, my focus remains the same: helping businesses operate with greater clarity, accountability, and efficiency. Clients Usually Reach Out When… 🍀 Their operations feel disorganized and difficult to scale. 🍀 Their ClickUp or project management system no longer supports the business. 🍀 Teams are spending too much time on manual work. 🍀 Projects lack ownership, visibility, or accountability. 🍀 Client onboarding is inconsistent. 🍀 They need better processes before hiring more people. 🍀 They want an operations partner who can improve both their systems and the way their business runs. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭: I believe good operations should make work easier not more complicated. When we work together, my goal is to leave your business with clear processes, organized systems, practical automations, and a structure your team can confidently use as your business continues to grow. Whether you need help implementing ClickUp, improving your operations, coordinating projects, or building scalable workflows, I’m here to help you create a business that runs with greater clarity, consistency, and confidence. If you’re looking for someone who understands both business operations and the systems that support them, I’d love to connect.

I've served as COO. I know what it costs when operations break down — and I know how to fix it. Over 7 years I've grown from Project Manager to COO, leading operations across U.S.-based agencies and digital businesses. That progression matters: I understand execution at the ground level and what it takes to build the systems that make it scalable. I've managed teams of up to 20 people, overseen $100K or more per month in operational spend, and made the hiring and structural decisions that most consultants never get close to. Most recently, as an Automation Consultant at a U.S.-based automation agency, I worked directly with over 100 clients across industries — auditing their internal processes, identifying inefficiencies, and redesigning their workspaces to operate more intelligently. Across those engagements, clients reduced manual work by 40 to 60 percent after workflow redesigns, automation implementations delivered measurable ROI within the first 30 to 45 days, and leadership teams consistently recovered 8 to 12 hours per week that had previously been lost to manual coordination. At the operational leadership level, I have led full restructuring efforts for agencies managing 20 or more concurrent client projects, served as COO overseeing cross-functional teams and P&L for a U.S. marketing agency, built onboarding systems that reduced ramp-up time by 35 percent, and identified revenue leakage worth approximately $15,000 per month by integrating disconnected CRM, fulfillment, and marketing pipelines. I work best embedded in the leadership layer — not as a vendor, but as the operator who owns the day-to-day so the CEO can focus on growth. Tools I work with: Make, n8n, Zapier, ClickUp, Notion, Asana, HubSpot, GoHighLevel, and Monday. If your business is growing but your operations are not keeping up, let's talk. Send me a message describing your biggest operational bottleneck and I will respond within 24 hours with an honest assessment of whether and how I can help.
