Overwhelmed by properties, inboxes, and operations that keep slipping through the cracks? With 12+ years and 7,200+ Upwork hours as a Property Manager and Operations Specialist, I’ve delivered 24% revenue growth in 4 months for clients who need STR, long-term rental, and executive support systems that run smoothly.
🎯 HOW I CAN HELP YOU
STR AIRBNB OPERATIONS
Increase occupancy, protect your reviews, and reduce the day-to-day stress of running short-term rentals. I bring 7,200+ Upwork hours and have helped drive 24% portfolio revenue growth in 4 months through pricing, guest experience, and platform optimization.
LONG-TERM RENTAL MANAGEMENT
Keep your rentals organized, tenants supported, and owner communications under control. I work across AppFolio, Buildium, and Rent Manager to reduce missed tasks, improve response times, and keep operations moving smoothly.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND SOPS
Turn scattered workflows into a system that saves time and exposes costly inefficiencies. I map how your business actually runs, then build clearer SOPs and automations in tools like Notion, ClickUp, and Asana.
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT AND CHIEF OF STAFF SUPPORT
Protect your focus by offloading calendar chaos, inbox overload, and cross-functional follow-up. My background in executive support and operations helps founders and leadership teams keep priorities moving without important details slipping through.
PROPERTY MANAGER SUPPORT
Scale your property management capacity without adding internal overhead. I can handle owner communication, vendor coordination, reporting, and escalation so your team can stay focused on growth instead of daily fire drills.

You’ve built a strong founder-led business — but growth is still running through you.
I help scaling founders remove founder dependency, build operational capacity, and create the business architecture needed to grow without chaos.
As a Fractional COO and Strategic Operations Partner, I work with founders whose business is already working — but the delivery, team, decisions, systems, and leadership rhythm have not yet caught up with the level of growth they’re trying to hold.
Fractional COO | Strategic Operations Partner | Upwork Expert-Vetted | Top Rated | $200K+ Earned | 90%+ Job Success
Most of my clients come to me when growth has started to expose the cracks behind the scenes.
The business is making money.
The clients are there.
The opportunity is real.
But the founder is still too involved in every decision, every delivery issue, every team question, every client escalation, and every moving part.
That is founder dependency.
And it is usually not solved by hiring another assistant, adding another tool, or writing another SOP.
It requires stronger business architecture.
I help founders build the operational capacity required to scale.
Together, we may work on:
• Founder dependency and bottleneck removal
• Business architecture and operating model design
• Team roles, decision rights, and accountability
• Delivery systems, SOPs, and client experience
• KPI dashboards and visibility systems
• Pricing, packaging, retention, and margin improvement
• Leadership rhythm, operating cadence, and calm CEO decision-making
• Strategic priorities and execution systems for the next stage of growth
This is not surface-level strategy.
It is the work of making the business easier to run, easier to lead, and less dependent on the founder carrying everything.
CLIENT RESULTS INCLUDE:
• 10–15+ hours/week freed from day-to-day operations
• Stronger execution without constant founder involvement
• Clearer team ownership and decision-making
• Improved margins through simpler, more effective systems
• Increased revenue through better pricing, positioning, delivery, and operational clarity
• A business that feels structured, calm, and back under control
RECENT CLIENT WORK:
• Helped a scaling mental health practice remove operational bottlenecks, improve decision-making, and prepare the business for acquisition
• Supported a construction business through operational restructuring, KPI visibility, and a 28.6% revenue increase within 4 months
• Partnered with a data analytics agency to strengthen sales, leadership, and scalable delivery foundations
• Helped a creative agency move from reactive delivery into a clearer operating structure
• Supported SaaS, consulting, agency, wellness, construction, community, and expert-led businesses through growth-stage complexity
HOW I WORK:
Assess
We identify what is actually breaking under scale: founder dependency, delivery drag, team confusion, unclear decision rights, weak visibility, pricing strain, or operational complexity.
Architect
We design the business architecture: roles, responsibilities, rhythms, systems, priorities, KPIs, and decision flows.
Align
We create the leadership and execution structure needed for the founder and team to operate with more clarity and less reactivity.
Accelerate
We implement what matters most so the business becomes calmer, stronger, and more scalable.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
This is a strong fit if:
• You are a founder, CEO, consultant, agency owner, or expert-led business owner
• Your business is around $500K–$5M+ revenue
• Growth is happening, but it still depends too heavily on you
• You want strategic ownership, not task-based support
• You need someone who can see the full business model, not just isolated operations
• You are ready to build the structure for your next stage of scale
This is not a fit if:
• You are looking for a VA, OBM, admin support, or task-based project manager
• You only want someone to “write SOPs” without addressing the business model underneath
• You are very early-stage and still validating your offer
• You want low-cost execution rather than strategic partnership
• You want coaching without operational change
ABOUT ME:
I bring 20 years of experience across finance, strategy, operations, consulting, and founder advisory.
I have built my own 7-figure consulting business, worked with founders and CEOs across multiple industries, and generated around $300K through Upwork while being recognised as Expert-Vetted / Top 1%.
My strength is seeing the full system: business model, delivery, operations, leadership, decision flow, team capacity, pricing, and growth strategy — then simplifying it so performance becomes sustainable.
If your business is growing but still depends too heavily on you, let’s start with a focused strategy conversation.

Behind every creative person, every small and growing business, is an Alfred. There comes a point in the development of every business where if an organizational overhaul doesn't take place, scaling isn't possible. That's where I come in.
You might know exactly what you want, or you might have a general sense of unease. Many business owners know there are things that can be done better, but they aren't sure where to start and don't have the time to figure it out.
I've spent years honing a carefully curated (but extensive) list of skills by working with small business teams and as a freelancer. These various experiences have given me invaluable insights into different industries, processes, tools and departments. I've had my hands in dozens of different projects and this has allowed me to analyze businesses and develop custom solutions.
I've also worked really hard to become acclimated to as much technology as possible. I'm certified in Asana, Notion, Make.com, Quickbooks, Trainual and Gorgias. I'm expert-level in Clickup, Trello, Monday, Processstreet, Jira, Confluence, Hubspot, Hubstaff, Harvest, Front, and many more.
Some of my specialty areas include:
- Day to day direct executive support, project management or operations management
- Acting as team communication leader and project manager ensuring efficient information sharing
- Process development
- Analyzing, streamlining and automating workflows
- Tool recommendations, data migration, set up and training
- Financials (Quickbooks, data transfers, budgets, action plans) I am a certified Quickbooks Pro Advisor! I am certified to help you optimize your usage of Quickbooks.
- I specialize in choosing, setting up and executing project management software. I am well versed in all major options. I am also an Asana Together Certified Pro and Notion Certified.
- Developing, launching and leading initiatives regarding efficiency, organization, team building, marketing, hiring, and more.
- Resource management including HR, payroll and employee engagement
- Long term goal planning, and breaking down those goals into achievable projects with specific steps and due dates
- Putting out fires, reducing bottlenecks, and keeping things from falling through the cracks

I help founders and executives focus on the big picture, while I own the operations and keep everything running behind the scenes.
With 12+ years running back-office functions for global organizations including P&G, Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, Airbnb, and Indeed, I bring Fortune 500 discipline to growing businesses.
As your Fractional COO / Chief of Staff, I handle:
1. Building systems & SOPs that scale
2. Project & program coordination end-to-end
3. Team management and cross-functional alignment
4. Stakeholder communication and executive support
I've helped clients reduce operational bottlenecks, build lean scalable systems, and free up executive time so leadership can focus on growth.
My clients don't just get tasks done, they get someone who spots the gaps, fixes the process, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
If you're scaling and need operations handled properly, let's talk.

Founders of fast-growing US and EU companies hire me when their business is scaling, but daily execution is falling apart. I build the rigid operational layer — OKRs, EOS frameworks, and AI workflows — so you can finally stop being the bottleneck.
You're past the scrappy stage. The team is growing, the deals are coming — but somehow you're still the bottleneck. Priorities shift weekly. Your team waits for your input to move. You're spending Sundays firefighting instead of building.
That's not a strategy problem. It's an operations problem.
I'm Vasilii, an international Fractional COO with a Top Rated Plus track record on Upwork. I step into 7-figure startups and scaleups to build the operational architecture founders never had time to create:
* Execution Rhythm: OKRs, weekly cadence, and clear ownership matrices.
* Decision Systems: Autonomy in your org structure so the team moves fast without you in every meeting.
* AI-Driven Operations: Identifying manual bottlenecks and integrating AI tools to cut overhead and speed up delivery.
* Scalable Workflows: Processes that hold steady as you scale past 20, 50, or 100+ people.
Why American and European founders trust me:
* Western Management Standards: 95% of my portfolio consists of US, UK, and EU-based companies doing $500K–$5M. I operate entirely in your business culture and adapt to your time zones.
* Proven ROI: Over $200K+ in verified earnings and a 100% Job Success Rate on this platform. Your investment is backed by real, audited execution.
Engagement Options & Pricing:
* Hourly Consultations: $99/hour
Best for operational audits, short consultations, or ad-hoc tasks (under 5 hours/week).
* Starter Fractional Package: $750/week (Up to 10 hours/week)
Perfect for early-stage teams that need structured operational support and basic framework setup.
* Scale Fractional Package: $1,250/week (Up to 20 hours/week)
My most popular option. Designed for growing companies that need consistent operational leadership, execution tracking, and team management.
Engagements are typically 3–6 months, part-time. No full-time overhead, no long onboarding — just rapid operational traction.
If your company is doing $500K–$10M and you feel stuck in execution mode — let's talk.

Pitch decks? You got it. One pitch deck I created secured $20M for an insurance startup, another generated $29M for a food startup. I have lots of consulting experience so I promise you some beautiful decks
Excel and Google Sheets help? You got it, I created my first model 22 years ago and have since created hundreds of others.
Business planning? Sure thing, I'll do your market research and I'll find stuff that nobody else can anywhere on the web, or through other, more... direct, methods. I will then craft a beautiful, visual, sound business plan with real feasible financials.
How about Project Management? Well, I managed some Multi-million dollar projects in F500 companies (and startups), I am a certified Scrum Master, an MBA and I know processes creation and visualization in and out.
If any of this resonates with you, let's talk.
For full disclosure: My minimum current fee for a project is $1,200

I step in and run operations so founders can step out of the weeds.
With 16+ years across Operations, Project Management, and Business Development, I take full ownership of day-to-day systems, teams, and workflows — not just support them. My experience spans e-commerce, retail, marketing, call centers, and VA management, working directly with U.S.-based clients and CEOs.
What I bring:
— SOPs, onboarding materials, and QA processes built from scratch
— VA and team leadership across U.S. and Philippines-based teams
— KPI/KPR tracking across multiple industries and business types
— Client relations, training, and team onboarding end-to-end
— Project systems that keep everything moving without chasing
— Lean Six Sigma discipline applied to real small business chaos
Earlier roles in Social Media Management, Business Development, and executive VA work give me a rare 360° view of how businesses operate — so I don't just fix one part, I see how everything connects.
If you're a founder running multiple businesses and need someone to take the wheel on operations — not just assist — that's exactly what I do.
