Most founders I work with have the same problem. They are the answer to every question in their business and it is slowing everything down.
I fix that.
I am a fractional COO and operations expert with 6 years of experience building operational infrastructure for startups, agencies, and scaling businesses across the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Canada, and the USA. I come in, map how the business actually runs, identify what is breaking or missing, and build the systems, workflows, and automations that let the business run without the founder in the room for every decision.
I have done this across retail, healthcare, creative media, e-commerce, and tech startups. Businesses with one location and businesses with nine. Pre-revenue startups and $9M+ operations. The context changes but the result is always the same: a founder who goes from being the operational bottleneck to focusing on the work only they can do.
What makes me different from most ops people is that I do not just document processes and hand over a folder. I build operational infrastructure that is connected, automated, and actually used. I use ClickUp as the central operating system, connect it to everything via Make, Zapier, and n8n, embed AI agents where they can do the heavy lifting, and hand over a business that manages the majority of its own administration in the background.
Every client I have worked with has told me I exceeded their expectations. Not because I delivered what they asked for but because I identified what they actually needed and built that instead.
📊 Results I have delivered
▶️ Built complete operational infrastructure for a $9M+ retail operation across nine international locations, moving the entire business from spreadsheets and WhatsApp to a fully automated ClickUp system with real-time cross-location visibility
▶️ Reduced a founder's monthly operational review process from several hours of manual work to a single approval click by building a custom AI performance agent connected to ClickUp via API
▶️ Built hiring, onboarding, clinical scheduling, financial tracking, and compliance systems from scratch for a healthcare startup, enabling the founding team to scale without adding operational headcount
▶️ Designed and implemented end-to-end client delivery pipelines for multiple agencies, eliminating manual status updates and giving leadership full project visibility without asking for a single report
🚀 What I offer
▶️ Operational infrastructure design and implementation
▶️ ClickUp workspace architecture, automations, and integrations
▶️ AI agent development for operational workflows
▶️ HR and people operations including hiring, onboarding, and performance management
▶️ Financial operations including P&L, cash flow, reconciliation, and forecasting
▶️ SOP creation and process documentation
▶️ Founder support and decision-making offload

Most founders don't need more advice. They need a steady OPERATOR who can think clearly with them, design the operating system, and stay long enough to make it work. That's the role I play.
I am Arun — Fractional COO and PMP-certified operator. 20+ years leading global operations at J.P. Morgan ($8T AUM). 50+ projects across 20 countries. Survived an OCC (US Treasury) regulatory audit. Today I partner with founders across THREE connected lanes:
🧠 STRATEGIC THINKING PARTNER
Sit beside founders. Turn ambiguity into decisions, owners, and dates. Push back when the data says so. Not consulting — I do the work with you.
⚙️ OPERATING SYSTEM DESIGNER
SOPs and onboarding playbooks · End-to-end workflows · KPI dashboards · Weekly cadence that actually happens
📊 REVENUE & EXECUTION DISCIPLINE
Revenue Execution Scorecards · Profitability dashboards (margin per deal, supplier costs, cash flow runway) · Revenue-aligned SOPs · Weekly blockers + commitments tracking
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🎯 STRAIGHT TALK ON SCOPE
I'm not a sales operator. I don't drive front-end revenue.
I build the operations BEHIND the revenue — so your sales engine has something to scale into.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⚙️ HOW I WORK — DIAGNOSE, DESIGN, DEPLOY
Weeks 1–2: Map how the business actually runs. Find what's broken or invisible.
Weeks 3–4: Draft workflows, write SOPs, build dashboards.
Weeks 5–8: Roll out in phases. Train the team. Hand over.
Ongoing: Monthly retainer for accountability and continuous improvement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🏆 PROOF
✔ Led global operations at a $8T institution — audit-ready, regulator-ready
✔ Lifted SLA 51% → 95% and CSAT 47% → 80% through coordination, not headcount
✔ Delivered 25% efficiency gains and 15% cost reduction in startup environments
✔ 50+ cross-functional projects across 20 countries
✔ Published Supply Chain Finance author · Speaker on AI in business
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔧 RECENT FRACTIONAL WORK
✔ Strategic thought partner to a founder running multiple ventures — clarified priorities, sequenced decisions, translated strategy into execution
✔ Operational turnaround for a PE-backed hospitality business
✔ End-to-end operational backbone for a service business — SOPs, onboarding, discovery questionnaires, pricing sheets, service-tier frameworks
✔ Cash flow and profitability frameworks — margin per engagement, supplier costs, outstanding payments
✔ Backend systems for a real estate investment platform (family-home acquisitions)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
👥 WHO I WORK BEST WITH
✔ Service businesses, agencies, consultancies scaling past founder dependency
✔ Coaches and online businesses building infrastructure for the next phase
✔ PE-backed or acquired businesses needing operational reset
✔ Early-stage ventures needing discipline before hiring a full COO
NOT a fit for: pure VA work, sales-driven roles, top-of-funnel revenue generation.

I help founders, leadership teams, and PE-backed operators turn complex strategic, financial, and operational challenges into clear decisions — and the execution cadence to deliver them. I bring 25+ years of senior consulting and investment banking experience, augmented by AI-powered analysis that delivers faster, richer, and more rigorous outputs than traditional consulting alone.
$1.3M+ billed on Upwork | 7,500+ hours | 85+ engagements | 100% Job Success | Expert-Vetted | ex-Bain | Wharton MBA
Where I add value:
- AI strategy & go-to-market: helping AI companies and financial services players define where AI creates competitive advantage, design GTM strategies, and build the operating model to deliver — with sector depth across banking, insurance, wealth management, and fintech
- Strategy & transformation: operating model design, performance improvement, cost-out programs, turnaround execution — with KPI dashboards, OKRs, and exec reporting cadence
- Fractional CFO: board-ready packs, scenario planning, budgeting and forecasting, decision support — AI-augmented financial modelling and scenario analysis
- Due diligence (PE/VC/M&A): commercial and financial diligence, management interviews, synergy planning, red-flag identification — accelerated by AI-powered research and multi-source synthesis
- Financial modelling: 3-statement models, DCF, scenario analysis, investor materials
Proof: Led cross-border M&A at Lehman Brothers. Served as de-facto CFO for a mid-market manufacturer — returned the business to positive EBITDA in 11 months (2 plant closures, 20% overhead reduction). Delivered GTM strategy for a leading agentic AI company entering financial services across GCC and European markets. Delivered due diligence across targets from EV OEMs to European price-comparison platforms.
I work best with:
- AI companies entering financial services or scaling GTM in regulated markets
- Founders preparing for fundraising, pivot, or exit
- Scale-ups and mid-market operators needing senior finance and transformation leadership without a full-time hire
- PE/VC teams conducting diligence or driving portfolio value creation
How I work:
I integrate multi-model AI stack across every engagement (including Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and ChatGPT) combining outputs for richer analysis, faster synthesis, and more rigorous deliverables than traditional consulting alone. Board-grade output from day one.
Sample of recent engagements:
- Defined the GTM strategy and financial services entry roadmap for a leading European agentic AI platform, identifying priority use cases across banking, insurance, and wealth management
- Designed the target operating model for the Finance function of a Fintech (card issuing and payments infrastructure) — addressing process gaps, controls, and the KPI framework needed to scale
- Delivered commercial due diligence and financial modelling for PE funds
- Scoped a full ERP migration for a Healthcare company, covering systems integration and a phased transition from legacy accounting system. Expert in NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero and Sage
Fluent: English, Italian, Spanish | Conversational: Portuguese, French

REFERENCES:
✅#1 - Global Head of Talent at Thomson Reuters:
"Marcin is a high potential employee at Thomson Reuters and was one of the first to raise his hand to participate in a global project that I was leading. He went on to assume a global role as a leader of a working subgroup that proved to be the most successful at the end of the 6 month pilot run.
When he visited Asia, Marcin made special arrangements to be in Singapore and proposed to meet other high potentials which was not previously practised by others in a similar capacity.
Marcin clearly exhibits all the essential traits of a global manager who is culturally sensitive, communicates well (both verbally and written) and has a geniune interest in helping others to succeed. His strong collaborative skills coupled with his interest to learn new things will bring him closer to his career goal within a short period.
His dedication to this project work has earned him my support in all his career endeavours."
✅#2 - Marketing Director at Luxoft:
"I had a privilege to work with Marcin on the same team at Luxoft where he was leading the go-to-market campaign for one of the company’s top products, the Horizon visualization software for the banking industry, while I was focused on the automotive side of business. As peers, we talked and exchanged ideas on a regular basis.
I was always amazed at Marcin’s ability to think outside the box. Often working under tight deadlines and budget limitations, he would always manage to deliver an effective and elegant solution, whether it’s a piece of marketing content, media outreach, an industry event or a social media campaign. Marcin’s understanding and knowledge of digital marketing is second to none. He is a true digital native who knows how to get the marketing message across the social media.
Last but not least, Marcin is a fantastic person to work with. Sensitive to other people’s needs, he was always willing to help and support his team members, and to share his knowledge generously. And he did it all with a positive attitude and a terrific sense of humor. Marcin would make a great addition to any marketing team as a member or leader. "
✅#3 - Founder & CEO at Piercing View (Upwork project)
"MJ is a very accomplished strategist. He has been extremely valuable in developing our marketing strategy, identifying high value targets/clients, and crafting the appropriate 'pitch' for each unique circumstance. Thank you!"
