When your business is growing faster than your systems can handle, that's exactly the problem I solve.
I'm a Fractional COO brought in when founders are scaling fast but the backend isn't built to support that growth yet. I don't do task-based support. I step in at a strategic level, diagnose what's broken, and build the operational infrastructure that lets you grow without everything falling apart.
Here's what that's looked like in practice:
✅ 95% reduction in founder involvement across all companies within 3 months
✅ 200% revenue increase at Fathom High within one year - I led the full tech and operations setup, coordinating Kajabi, ConvertKit, and Shopify systems from the ground up.
✅ 100% client retention at OBE - built a communication and delivery system that closed the operational gaps that were quietly costing them clients.
✅ 50% productivity increase at Gaia Media Group - designed workflows, automations, and ClickUp systems that transformed how the team operated day to day.
✅ Structured operational backbones for 20+ companies - turning scattered processes into centralized systems with SOPs and aligned team workflows.
I've managed 100+ projects across agencies, startups, and digital businesses. I operate like an owner, think long-term, and build systems that make the entire business run smoother, not just one department.
If your team is stretched, your processes are held together with duct tape, and you need someone who can walk in and fix it, let's talk.

Are you the bottleneck in your own business?
Most founders start as visionaries. But as the business grows, they get trapped in the day-to-day chaos—chasing down missing assets, answering the same Slack questions, and apologizing for missed deadlines. You cannot scale if you are the chief problem-solver for every operational hiccup.
That is where I step in.
I am a Fractional Operations Manager. I don't just "manage tasks"—I build the pipes, enforce the rules, and manage the daily execution so you can get your time back.
With a Master's in Computer Applications (MCA) and 5+ years of experience running complex remote operations, I specialize in turning chaotic communications into bulletproof, automated systems. Whether it is managing a distributed data team of 50+ people or building high-velocity ClickUp pipelines for creative agencies with 10+ editors, I bring technical precision to operational chaos.
How I Upgrade Your Operations:
🏗️ Workflow Architecture & "Gatekeeper" Protocols
I build airtight project management pipelines where no task moves forward without clear instructions. I design intake systems that force clients and account managers to provide exactly what is needed before execution starts, eliminating unnecessary back-and-forth.
🚦 Traffic Control & SLA Enforcement
I ensure your execution team never has to guess what to work on next. I actively monitor dashboards to catch stalled tasks and communication gaps before they become client emergencies.
🤖 No-Code Systems & AI Workflows
I save you hours of manual work by connecting your tools. Instead of manual data entry, I build logic-based workflows (e.g., Make, Zapier, n8n) that trigger automatic task creation, Slack notifications, and data routing.
My Technical Toolkit:
Project Mgmt: ClickUp (Specialist), Jira, Asana, Monday, Airtable.
Automation: Make (Integromat), Zapier, n8n.
Data & CRM: SQL, Advanced Excel/Sheets, HubSpot, Pipedrive, GHL.
AI: ChatGPT (Prompt Engineering), Claude, Gemini.
Who I work best with:
Creative & Video Agencies scaling their output.
Asynchronous Service & B2B Businesses that rely on tight turnarounds.
Founders who need a "Brain" to manage the backend while they handle sales and strategy.
If you are tired of working in your business instead of on it, let's talk. Send me an invite, and we can do a quick teardown of your current setup to see where the bottlenecks are hiding.
