I help founders and small businesses turn undocumented, messy operations into clear SOPs and workflows that teams can actually follow.
If your business depends on repeated explanations, manual follow-ups, or “only one person knows how this works,” I design practical SOPs, checklists, and role-based workflows to fix that.
My work includes end-to-end SOP creation, workflow mapping, role definitions, checklists, compliance-ready documentation, and productivity systems designed for real execution
Typical assignments include Amazon seller SOPs, service business workflows, internal operations documentation, handover SOPs, and process cleanup for growing teams.
I work with minimal meetings, structured inputs, and documented outputs. Clients receive clean SOP tables, flowcharts, and implementation notes.

Expert-Vetted Business Operations Consultant ➝ top 1% on Upwork, 100% Job Success, $500K+ earned across 55+ contracts. If your strategy is clear but execution isn't, that's exactly what I fix: I turn messy processes, half-adopted tools (ClickUp, Monday, Asana), and unclear accountability into a simple operating system your team actually follows ➝ ownership + cadence + dashboards + tool discipline.
What I do (strategic → tactical → operational)
- Strategy-to-execution roadmaps ➝ what to do first, what to ignore, what to fix
- PMO-lite governance ➝ cadence, RACI, decision rights, prioritization, exec visibility
- Business process improvement ➝ Lean/Six Sigma mindset: bottlenecks, cycle time, rework
- Workflow design + build ➝ ClickUp, Monday, Asana, Wrike, Smartsheet, Jira
- SOPs + process documentation + enablement ➝ training, adoption, handover
- Dashboards + KPI visibility ➝ Power BI, Looker Studio, Google Sheets
- Automation + integrations ➝ Zapier, Make, Power Automate, Apps Script
- Practical AI/GenAI readiness ➝ where AI fits, where it doesn't, how to roll it out without chaos
How I work
1. Diagnose ➝ map the work as-is, find constraints, define success metrics
2. Design + prioritize ➝ future-state workflow, governance, SOPs, templates, dashboards
3. Build ➝ configure tools, automate handoffs, set up reporting
4. Adopt ➝ training, change management, reinforcement
5. Improve ➝ stabilize, measure, iterate
Why clients keep rehiring me
- Process-first: tools are just the container
- I work directly with decision-makers; no layers of translation
- Independent and low-noise: you stay updated without managing me
- I own outcomes, not just tasks
Clients regularly describe me as proactive, structured, and "value-add beyond scope".
Proof
- Expert-Vetted (top 1% of Upwork talent), 100% Job Success, Top Rated Plus
- $500K+ earned across 55+ contracts, with heavy repeat and long-term work
- Anchor engagements include multi-year operations leadership and executive dashboard builds
You're likely a fit if you're thinking:
→ "We're scaling and everything lives in people's heads."
→ "We bought ClickUp/Monday/Smartsheet but adoption is weak."
→ "We need SOPs, dashboards, and accountability without bureaucracy."
→ "We want automation, but our processes aren't stable yet."
→ "We want to use GenAI, but we're not ready (data, workflows, governance)."
What changes after we work together:
→ A weekly execution cadence leadership actually follows
→ Tools become the system of record, not a dumping ground
→ SOPs that cut rework and onboarding time
→ Dashboards that show what matters, not noise
→ AI layered onto stable workflows, not chaos
I also offer professional mentoring for founders and leaders in execution planning, prioritization, stakeholder management, delegation, and decision-making under ambiguity.
Often hired for: operations consultant · business process consultant · PMO setup · governance · SOP development · process documentation · workflow optimization · workflow automation · change management · user adoption · ClickUp · Monday · Asana · Wrike · Smartsheet · Jira · Zapier · Make · Power Automate · Microsoft 365 · SharePoint · Power Apps · Google Workspace · Google Sheets · Apps Script · KPI dashboards · Power BI · Looker Studio · AI readiness · GenAI readiness
To get a straight answer fast, tell me:
→ what you want to achieve in the next 90 days
→ what's currently breaking in execution (process, people, tools, or reporting)
I'll tell you plainly what I'd fix first, and why.

I am one of Upwork's Top 1% process optimization and operations management consultant with over a decade's experience in scaling up business operations for Fortune 500 and publicly listed organizations.
Through the course of my professional career, I've led teams that have build technology products for both the B2B and B2C markets, led product and marketing operations teams for large publicly listed organizations and set up and scaled ecommerce businesses globally.
I've been working with startups, small and medium businesses in scaling up enabling them to build a strong process and operations foundation. I do this by analyzing existing processes, developing scalable business processes and when necessary, automating them for scalability, while continuing to support client teams in training and adoption.
As a generalist, I have, over the years, developed an all round understanding and expertise in all aspects of growing businesses, right from the go to market strategy, to product positioning, to ongoing demand generation, while also working on the tactical aspects of organizational design, performance measures (OKRs, KPIs) and process design.
Why you should engage me:
1. A strong background in setting up and scaling business operations across industries - ecommerce, SaaS, real estate, healthcare, Web3. This allows me to apply best practices across industries to shorten the time it takes for your business to see results
2.Well-rounded experience establishing and setting up marketing, demand generation strategies for different markets
3. Strong project management and team management skills - I know how to manage teams across multiple time zones and get results
4. Strong track record of proven results - I've been able to scale up businesses and enable them to generate revenue or reduce costs quickly, without needing to reinvent the wheel. I'm happy to provide references where needed.
If you are a small business that needs to establish a strong process foundation, or are experiencing growth pains because you rely heavily on tribal knowledge, without a clear path forward scale in a sustainable manner, I can work with you to bring organization to the chaos so you can focus on growing the business, while I focus on keeping the wheels turning.
