Hi, I’m Sylwia — Co-Founder of ShiftandPause, a modern career and hiring consultancy built by two operators who’ve seen (and done) it all. We bring combined experience in leadership, recruitment, team building, and navigating career shifts from both sides of the hiring table. We’ve hired and fired, scaled teams, restructured departments, and changed careers ourselves — so nothing we offer is generic or theoretical. I support: - Individuals in career transition who need clarity, confidence, and structure (not just another CV template). → Think of it as structured support from someone who actually gets it; - Startup founders & execs hiring their first teams or building better systems to avoid bad-fit hires. → Not a recruiter - your plug-in people strategy unit when you’re not ready for one full-time; No fluff, no lectures — just real strategy, sharp messaging, and practical tools that get results. 🔹 Fixed-scope services available — or message me to discuss a fit Let’s make your next step a smart one.

I build marketing systems that generate leads, automate follow-up, and fill pipelines — so businesses can focus on closing. I'm a marketing generalist with hands-on experience across the full client acquisition funnel. Whether you need more leads coming in, a smarter follow-up system, or a CRM that actually works — I build and manage it end to end. What I'm good at: SMS & outbound lead generation — crafting campaigns that start real conversations with the right people GoHighLevel (GHL) — CRM setup, pipeline management, automation sequences, and appointment booking workflows Marketing systems & operations — connecting the dots between lead gen, nurturing, and conversion so nothing gets lost

I have co-founded companies, taken one through an acquisition, and run a startup's finances as CFO through a bear market that killed a lot of our peers. I have built products from nothing to live revenue, negotiated a sale, sat on both sides of a cap table, and made the runway-versus-growth calls that decide whether a company survives the year. That is the experience I bring when I sit across from you and your idea. Because here is what I learned doing it: most early-stage ideas do not fail on execution, they fail on assumptions nobody challenged early enough. A cap table set up wrong. A valuation built on hope. A business model with a hole the founder was too close to see. I have made versions of those mistakes myself, and I have paid for them. So that is what I do now. I help founders at the idea-to-traction stage turn a promising idea into something with a backbone: - Pressure-testing the idea and the business model, and naming the holes you cannot see from the inside. - Structuring the path forward: what to validate first, what to ignore for now, what order to do things in. - Sanity-checking the founder stuff that rarely gets honest input: cap table, valuation, dilution, and the assumptions underneath them. A bit more background: alongside the startup work I spent a decade in regulated, science-heavy environments, leading method development and working with the kind of technical rigor that does not let you hand-wave. So deep-tech and technical founders do not lose me, and I do not take a vague answer as a real one. I am direct, fast, and I work in English, French and Spanish. If something in your plan does not hold up, you will hear it early, while it is still cheap to fix. Best fit for founders at the idea-to-traction stage who want a sparring partner who has actually carried the weight, not a cheerleader.
