Hi there 👋, I manage your day-to-day operations, build scalable infrastructure and execute your strategy. So you can focus on growth. You've grown past 20, 30, maybe 50 people, but you're still the one holding operations together. Every decision flows through you. You're working in the business instead of on it. Margins should be better for the revenue you're doing, but you can't figure out where the leakage is while you're firefighting daily. I'm a fractional COO for founder-led agencies and service businesses. I've done this from both sides: I've bootstrapped 3x service businesses, doing combined 8-figure revenue today, and I've worked with 70+ clients across the US, Europe, and the Middle East on exactly this problem. EXPERTISE 🛠️ OPERATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE ⚙️ Processes | SOPs | Business Systems | Continuous Improvement | AI & Automation | Project Management Tools | Asana | Clickup | Monday | Company Brain | Templates | Digital Maturity | KPIs TEAM & PEOPLE 🤝 Org Structure | Org Chart | Job Descriptions | Compensation | Recruiting | Leadership Development | Onboarding | Performance Management | Goal Setting MANAGEMENT & STRATEGY 🎯 Day-to-day management | Team Coaching | Leadership Development | Delegation | Accountability Partner | Management Sprints | OKRs | Roadmaps | Strategy Definition | Strategy Execution | Business Units Setup | Spin-Offs Here's what my clients say: 🚀 "If you need someone to help you scale your operations, you must speak with Benjamin." 🤩 "The work he performed is unbelievable." 🥳 "He's obsessed with providing value, delivered way beyond our expectations." 🕺 "Ben is a superstar." 🦸‍♀️ "Benjamin is an absolute game changer!" (LinkedIn) ☺️ "Exceptional is an understatement." I'm not a slide deck consultant. I embed in your business and operate alongside your team. If you're a founder running an agency or service business, and you know operations is the thing holding you back: LET'S Talk

Most teams don't have a project problem. They have a system problem - unclear ownership, tribal knowledge, status updates that take longer than the work itself. I'm a PMP-certified Technical Project Manager. I run your projects and build the operating system underneath them, so delivery doesn't depend on me - or any single person - being in the room. AI is how I move faster. I draft SOPs from recorded calls, turn meeting transcripts into action items, generate first-pass workflows and RACIs, and keep documentation alive instead of stale. The judgment stays mine; the typing doesn't. And because I work in an AI consulting company implementing agents and knowledge systems for clients, I can also tell when "the AI will handle it" is a plan and when it's a hope - which is where most AI projects slip. What I deliver: Delivery management - sprint structure, standups, backlog, and reporting rhythms tuned to your team Workflows - end-to-end process maps for how work moves from intake to done SOPs - playbooks your team can follow without asking, drafted with AI and refined by me RACI matrices - clear ownership, no more "I thought you had it" Dashboards - real-time visibility for stakeholders, no status-meeting theater Specifications - requirements written precisely enough that "done" is unambiguous How I work: Diagnose - where work stalls, where ownership blurs, where status gets lost Design - the lean version of the workflows, SOPs and dashboards your team will actually use Run & refine - I manage active projects while the system gets installed, then hand it off so it runs without me Tools: Jira, Asana, Monday, ClickUp, Miro, Confluence, Zapier, Make (Integromat), n8n - plus Claude and ChatGPT as part of my daily workflow. If you want to go more agentic, I'm happy to work with Claude Code, Hermes, agent frameworks, or whichever setup your team runs. Background: 7+ years managing software and AI projects with distributed international teams - plus agency-side experience in digital marketing. German, English, Turkish. If your team is ready to stop reinventing every project from scratch, send me a message. I'll tell you whether I can actually help.

If you want to grow in the German-speaking market, or need someone who brings structure, systems, and reliable execution to international projects, you're in the right place. I help companies generate qualified leads, build visibility, and run operations that don't fall apart under pressure. As a native German speaker with deep roots in the DACH market, I bring more than language skills, I understand the business culture, buyer behavior, and communication standards that make campaigns land instead of getting ignored. That same structured mindset translates directly into international work as well. What I help with: - Lead Generation & Prospect Research — targeted, structured, and DACH-specific - LinkedIn Outreach — native German messaging that feels human, not automated - SEO — on-page optimization, keyword research, and content strategy for German-speaking audiences - GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — making sure your brand gets picked up by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews - Paid Ads (Google · LinkedIn · Meta) — campaign setup, audience targeting, and performance tracking tailored to the DACH market - CRM Organization & Lead Tracking — clean pipelines, no chaos - Translation & Localization — English → German that reads like it was written in German - Operations & Virtual Assistance — process documentation, task management, reliable execution How I work: I don't just hand over a list of leads or a keyword report and disappear. I build systems, outreach sequences, content structures, tracking setups — that continue to deliver after the project ends. Backed by a small team of trusted specialists with strong hands-on experience in paid advertising and execution, I can take on larger scopes without sacrificing quality or response time. You get the personal attention of a dedicated specialist with the capacity of a small operation. My standard: clear systems before scaling, clean communication before automation, reliable execution instead of guesswork. If you're looking for someone who understands the German market from the inside, or simply wants structured, reliable execution on international projects, let's talk. Send me a message with your current challenge, and I'll tell you within 24 hours how I'd approach it.

Repetitive workflows costing your team hundreds of hours monthly? I automate them. ✅ 10+ years Systems Engineer & Automation Specialist | ✅ Saved clients over €1,000,000 and 10,000s of hours through workflow automation ✅ Zero-Touch Deployment (Mosyle/Intune) | n8n, Make, Python, AI integrations ✅ Microsoft Certified: MCSE, Azure, M365 ✅ 100% job success rate Hey!👋 I'm Mikail. I build systems that eliminate manual work and infrastructure that scales. What Makes Me Different: I don't overwhelm you with tech jargon. My approach is outcome-focused: I listen to your problem first, understand what success looks like, then build the simplest, most reliable solution to get you there. Whether that's deploying device management systems, migrating cloud infrastructure, building an n8n workflow, or writing a Python script—I build solutions that just work. Clients hire me for two main reasons: Either their infrastructure needs expert configuration and management, or their teams are drowning in repetitive manual work. Sometimes both. That's where I come in. ✅ Zero-Touch Device Deployment: Apple Fleet Management I implemented automated device enrollment and configuration for a German SaaS company managing 43 Mac devices. Before: 8 hours per employee—unpacking hardware, installing software, configuring security settings, manual onboarding. After: 2 minutes to order the device, everything else happens automatically through standardized video training and zero touch deployment. The Challenge: The company grew fast, hiring up to 6 people on the same day. One IT admin couldn't handle manual setups for multiple employees simultaneously. The Results: Since implementation, the automated solution has saved the company over €30,000 and 600 hours of manual labor. The system made scaling possible and continues to deliver ROI with every new hire. ✅ Google Workspace → Microsoft 365 Migration I migrated a 90-employee company from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365. Eliminated 25,200€/year in desktop license costs while maintaining the same pricing through Software Assurance. Everyone got current versions instead of outdated standalone licenses. The Results: 2 weeks preparation, migration executed over one weekend, 100+ mailboxes and rules migrated with zero downtime or business interruption. The company has saved over €252,000 in licensing costs since the migration 10 years ago. ✅ 600 Hours/Month Saved: License Renewal Automation I built an end-to-end n8n automation for a SaaS company that eliminated 5 hours/week per employee across 30 team members. Automated license creation, status tracking, and data consolidation. The Results: Since implementation 18 months ago, the system has saved over €432,000 and 10,800 hours of manual labor. ROI achieved in less than 1 month. Error rate reduced to near 0%. The automation continues to save 24,000€ monthly. ✅ 85 Hours/Month Saved: Support Ticket Auto-Enrichment I automated BI tool data pulls that enriched helpdesk tickets in real-time with customer and instance information. Eliminated 15 minutes of manual lookup per ticket across ~340 monthly tickets. The Results: Since implementation 18 months ago, the system has saved over €61,200 and 1,530 hours. Improved customer experience and reduced tool-switching for support agents. The automation continues to save 3,400€ monthly. Tools & Platforms I Work With: ⚙️ Automation & AI: n8n, Make, Zapier, OpenAI (ChatGPT API), Claude API (Vision), Python scripting, Selenium, Playwright 💼 Business Systems: CRM (Pipedrive, HubSpot), Project Management (Jira, Notion, ClickUp), Support (Zendesk, Metabase), Airtable, Google Sheets ☁️ Cloud & Systems: Microsoft Azure, AWS, M365 & Google Workspace, Mobile Device Management (Intune, Mosyle), VPN Solutions (WireGuard, Netmaker), Self-hosting & cost optimization, Cloud migrations, Email migrations 💻 Coding: Python, JavaScript, Powershell, API integrations & Webhooks --- ❝ It's easy: I would work with Mikail any time anywhere. He's a problem solver with a broad range of knowledge in too many areas to name them all (e.g. AI driven automation pipelines, office system configuration and fleet management, Azure configuration....). If he might not know the subject now, he will in a few days and deliver the expected results and more. Was a joy to work with him. ❞ — Peter Schrammel, CTO --- 📞 Ready to eliminate repetitive work or solve your infrastructure challenges? Tell me what's holding your team back, and I'll show you the simplest way to solve it. Send me a message—let's have a quick discovery call.
