I help businesses automate lead generation, CRM automation, and marketing workflows using Makecom, Zapier, n8n, and AI automation tools—eliminating repetitive tasks, reducing errors, and scaling operations efficiently.
I specialize in workflow automation, business process automation, API integrations, and no-code automation systems that connect your tools and run your operations seamlessly.
Here’s what one of my clients shared 🥰👇
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I hired Samuel to streamline my social media posting and engagement using Makecom, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. He flawlessly connected Airtable with Instagram and Facebook, making sure my content was scheduled and published automatically.
The comment auto-reply automation worked perfectly, saving me hours each week while boosting engagement across platforms.
His knowledge of social media automation, workflow setup, and API integrations is outstanding. Delivery was quick, communication was smooth, and everything was thoroughly tested before final delivery.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable automation expert.”
— David
When David first contacted me, he sounded completely overwhelmed.
He ran a small lifestyle brand and was juggling everything himself — content creation, captions, posting, engagement, and customer messages. One sentence he said really stuck with me:
“I’m exhausted from jumping between five different apps every morning just to publish one post.”
His content wasn’t the problem. The lack of a system was.
His TikTok drafts lived in one place, Canva designs in another, Instagram updates elsewhere, LinkedIn posts manually scheduled, and YouTube uploads constantly delayed. Staying consistent felt chaotic and draining.
So I built him a system that changed how he worked.
Using Makecom, I connected his Airtable content calendar to all his major platforms. Once he uploaded content or wrote captions in Airtable, posts were automatically created and scheduled for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. TikTok drafts were published with matching audio, and YouTube Shorts were uploaded with captions pulled directly from his database.
All comments and DMs synced into GoHighLevel, where he could reply manually or trigger smart auto-responses.
Within days, everything clicked.
He filmed once, uploaded once, and the automation handled resizing, scheduling, publishing, product tagging, and comment replies behind the scenes.
A few days later, he messaged me:
“I just opened my laptop and realized my page posted five times while I was out having brunch. I almost cried.”
That’s what automation really means to me — not just efficiency, but freedom.
I’m Samuel — an automation expert who designs systems that quietly run businesses in the background. From social media automation to lead management, CRM syncing, and full AI-powered funnels, I build workflows that move data seamlessly across tools like Makecom, Zapier, n8n, Airtable, GoHighLevel, and more.

Executive Assistant for founders, CEOs, executives, consultants, business owners, and professionals who need reliable support managing the backend of their business.
You didn't get to where you are to spend your time buried in email, chasing your own calendar, or holding operations together that should be running without you.
I'm Adaobi, an Executive Virtual Assistant and Business Operations Support specialist with 7+ years of combined experience supporting founders and business leaders, both before and during my time on Upwork. I take complete ownership of your inbox, calendar, CRM, project management systems, and the day-to-day tasks that consume your time without moving your business forward, so you don't have to think about them.

▪️ Executive & Administrative Support:
Inbox triage, calendar management, scheduling, data entry, document organization, research, and daily admin, covering the full range of virtual assistant support that keeps a business moving.
▪️ Email & Inbox Management:
I've handled high volumes of email replies daily, flagging what needs attention and responding to what needs a response so nothing sits unanswered. In one engagement, I cleaned and organized over 3,000 emails in approximately 30 minutes using advanced email management techniques, clearing inbox clutter and bringing priority messages to the forefront.
▪️ Calendar & Meeting Support:
Appointments, scheduling, time zones, conflict resolution, agenda preparation, note-taking, and follow-up action items. Through proactive scheduling and time zone coordination, I reduce scheduling conflicts and keep calendars running smoothly for clients managing high meeting volume.
▪️ Operations & Workflow Support:
Recurring tasks, deadlines, SOP creation, workflow improvement, and action items that don't get dropped.
▪️ CRM & Database Management:
Clean records, updated pipelines, organized contacts, tracked follow-ups.
▪️ Project & Task Management:
Coordinating timelines and deliverables across Monday, Trello, Asana, ClickUp, and other project management platforms.

Professional, responsive, follow-up-driven.
▪️ Research, Data & Document Management:
Spreadsheets, reporting, data entry, document/form/presentation preparation, faster decision-making.

Most assistants need weeks to learn your systems. I integrate into your existing tools within days, communicate proactively before you have to ask, and take full ownership of my scope, so you're never chasing updates or fixing avoidable mistakes.
With a Top Rated badge and a 100% Job Success Score, I keep the backend of your business running smoothly, whether you're online or not.
What clients say:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Working with Adaobi is great. She is a frequent communicator and understand the work that needs to be done easily."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Adaobi completed the work efficiently and was friendly and easy to work with."

I’m a Customer Support & Client Operations Specialist focused on email, chat, and CRM-based support.
I don’t just answer tickets. I take full ownership of customer issues from first contact through to complete resolution.
I’ve supported both e-commerce brands and SaaS/service-based businesses, handling customer inquiries, issue resolution, and CRM workflows across email, chat, and ticket systems.
Over the past 7 years, I’ve worked in fast-paced, high-responsibility support environments where accuracy, tone, and follow-through matter. I regularly handle escalations, sensitive complaints, and complex issues, making sure customers feel heard while businesses stay protected from avoidable refunds, chargebacks, or churn.
I’ve handled everything from client relationship management in high-stakes environments to large-scale, text-based customer engagement (100+ daily conversations), where tone, speed, and professionalism are critical. I’ve also worked in sales support and appointment coordination roles, which strengthened my ability to listen carefully, handle objections calmly, and communicate clearly, without relying on aggressive or high-volume calling.
💼 What I Bring to Your Team:
✅ Email, Chat & Ticket Support – Fast, empathetic responses that feel human, not robotic
✅ Complaint Resolution & De-escalation – I turn frustrated customers into loyal ones by staying calm and solution-focused
✅ CRM & Data Management – I keep records clean, follow-ups organized, and communication clear across teams
✅ Independent & Process-Driven – I follow SOPs closely, document my work, and operate reliably without constant supervision.
✅ Process-Oriented – I identify recurring issues, document solutions, and help reduce future escalations.
🛠 Tools I Use:
✅ Customer Support Platforms: Zendesk, Freshdesk, Gorgias, Intercom
✅ E-commerce: Shopify, WooCommerce
✅ CRM & Collaboration: HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Google Workspace
✅ Task & Ticket Management: Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Jira.
✅ I also adapt quickly to new platforms, including ConnectWise, Autotask, and other MSP helpdesk systems
⏰ Availability:
Flexible across time zones. Best suited for email, chat, and structured inbound support environments.
🎯 What Sets Me Apart:
✔️ I communicate clearly and professionally with both technical and non-technical customers
✔️ I treat every interaction like your business depends on it—because it does
✔️ I'm proactive, detail-oriented, and focused on reducing churn and improving customer retention
✔️ I adapt quickly to new tools, workflows, and brand voice
Whether you need part-time or full-time support, I'm committed to making your customers feel heard, valued, and cared for.
📩 If you’re looking for a support specialist who takes ownership, communicates clearly, and protects your customer experience, I’d be happy to discuss your needs.
