Hire the Best Stakeholder Management Specialists

I turn messy, half-defined problems into working systems — products, operations, teams — that can actually launch and run without falling apart. Over 15+ years I've worked as a founder, COO, and program lead across fintech, B2B platforms, and large-scale infrastructure programs. I built a fintech Earned Wage Access product from idea to enterprise pilots (AvansBox). I led a B2B platform for self-employed contractors that reached $400–700k in monthly transaction volume, handling tax-compliant payments and integration with corporate HR and accounting systems (YaZanyat). I managed delivery of a large-scale IoT and video monitoring platform with 200,000+ connected cameras running 24/7 under public accountability (HeadPoint/inOne, Moscow GovTech). What I'm actually good at: reframing the problem, finding non-obvious options, and unblocking projects that are stuck — not because of missing effort, but because nobody stepped back to see the whole system. A recent client put it this way after a scheduling engagement: "very structured and detail-oriented... focuses on delivering a realistic and defensible schedule rather than an overly optimistic one." Where I help most: – You have an idea or early MVP that's chaotic and not ready for real operation – You have people, vendors, and tools that don't add up to a working system – You need someone to own execution end to end — not just coordinate it – You need a realistic plan, not an optimistic one I'm not the cheapest generalist and not a narrow specialist. I'm who you bring in when the problem itself hasn't been fully mapped out yet.

Hi, I'm Yasmine, and I help companies build the operating engine their strategy deserves. With 20+ years of experience (ex-Deloitte) across startups, scale-ups, small business and global enterprises, I've supported a USD 700M infrastructure program, helped a SaaS company raise BRL 20M in Series B funding, and partnered with leadership teams across technology, education, government, and professional services to turn complexity into clarity and strategy into execution. I work across industries and company sizes because the real skill has never been only sector knowledge, it's identifying what's actually blocking growth and building the right structure to move past it. I've been working remotely for over 10 years, collaborating with distributed teams across multiple time zones and cultures. That experience means I know how to build alignment and drive results without being in the room. WHERE I HELP MOST Companies usually come to me when one of these sounds familiar: · "We have a strategy, but execution keeps breaking down" · "I'm the bottleneck for every decision in my company" · "We're growing fast, but our operations can't keep up" · "We have data, but no clarity on what actually matters" · "We're preparing for investment and need to professionalize the operation" · "We're implementing AI but not seeing real business results from it" WHAT I BRING TO EVERY ENGAGEMENT Clarity in complex environments. I walk into messy situations, competing priorities, misaligned teams, too much data and too little direction, and create a path forward that the whole organization can follow. This includes AI readiness. Most companies approaching AI adoption focus on the technology. I focus on the organization, making sure the strategy, processes, data infrastructure, and people are ready to make AI actually deliver results, not just add complexity. HOW I WORK I use proprietary methodologies for both business diagnostics and data strategy, so every engagement starts with a structured, evidence-based understanding of the real situation before any solution is designed. My process follows five stages: 1. Diagnostic — mapping the current state of strategy, operations, data, and governance 2. Bottlenecks — identifying what's actually blocking execution and growth 3. Priority map — aligning leadership around what needs to move first 4. Roadmap — building a clear, actionable plan with ownership and timelines 5. Monitoring — tracking progress and adjusting as the organization evolves I work as a true partner throughout, not a vendor who delivers a report and disappears.

I’m a project and operations professional who can build business systems from scratch myself, while also managing the people and projects needed to deliver more complex solutions. If a CRM, project workspace, dashboard, workflow, or automation needs to be built, I can get into the tool and build it myself. If the project needs developers, specialists, contractors, or internal teams, I can turn the business requirement into clear deliverables, coordinate the people involved, review the output, test what has been built, and keep the implementation moving through to adoption. That combination is where I’m most useful. I understand the business problem behind the system, not just the software. I can work with founders, leadership, and clients to understand what they are trying to achieve, translate that into practical workflows, and make sure the finished solution actually works for the people using it. I can help with: – Business Systems & Automation: CRM, project management systems, dashboards, workflows, reporting, and automation – Project & Operations Management: planning, ownership, timelines, dependencies, risks, blockers, and stakeholder coordination – CRM & Revenue Operations: pipelines, follow-ups, forecasting, reporting, process improvement, and sales-to-delivery handoffs – Customer Success & Client Operations: onboarding, communication, issue resolution, account coordination, and post-sale delivery I’m comfortable moving between business, people, and technology. I can discuss requirements with a founder or client, design the solution, build it myself where appropriate, coordinate specialists where needed, and manage the project through delivery. Tools I work with include Monday, ClickUp, Zoho CRM, Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable, Power Automate, Python, Make, Zapier, APIs, Apollo, and AI tools. If you need someone who can understand the business, build the systems behind it, manage the people involved, and keep execution moving, I’d be happy to discuss what you’re working on.
