What if your business didn't depend on you holding everything together? You're growing fast, but you're also the one keeping track of every deadline, following up with your team, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. You can't take a real break because you don't trust that things will keep moving without you. That's where I help. I work with founders and small teams to bring structure to fast-moving businesses. I take full ownership of execution and build systems that actually work (not the kind that look good in theory but nobody uses). Projects move forward without you micromanaging, important details don't get missed, and you're no longer the bottleneck. What I take ownership of: 👉 Project coordination and follow-through (getting things from idea → done) 👉 Designing workflows and operational systems (often in Notion, but flexible) 👉 Keeping teams aligned, accountable, and actually moving 👉 Making sure nothing gets lost in the chaos Recent results: - Built operational systems for 10+ businesses, reducing project setup time by 60% - Managed client project delivery and team coordination with 95% adoption rate - Grew a LinkedIn personal brand to 13K followers with 1.5M+ organic impressions How I work: I don't just build the system and disappear. I take full ownership, flag problems before they turn into fires, and design systems that are practical and look good. I'm basically your reliable right hand who thinks ahead so you don't have to. Tools I have experience with: Notion, Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft, Canva, Zapier, Tally, ChatGPT, Claude, and more. That said, I'm tech-savvy and learn new tools quickly. What a client said: "Kiki and I have worked together for nearly 3 years, and in that time, she's consistently been proactive, communicative, and full of innovative, research-backed ideas. She adapts quickly, always looking for ways to optimize processes, and executes tasks with efficiency and organization. She's also a Canva pro :). I'm grateful for our partnership and highly recommend working with Kiki!" —Mariya Koteva, Founder @Insight Dynamics Certified Notion Consultant | Solutions Partner | Ambassador If you're juggling too much and need someone who thinks ahead and executes reliably, let's talk.
