Scaling Companies with Clarity Most founders, owners and CEOs hit a wall where growth stalls, meetings go in circles, and the leadership team feels busy but unaligned. The business becomes dependent on the founder — and freedom feels further away.

 That’s where I step in.

 I’m a Fractional COO and EOS® Integrator who helps founders and leadership teams scale with clarity, accountability, and confidence. I don’t just advise — I roll up my sleeves and help you implement EOS® so the business runs on systems, not chaos.

 💡 What this means for you:
 - Leadership team alignment — everyone rowing in the same direction.
 - Accountability — Rocks, Scorecards, and clear ownership.
 - Execution — Meetings that solve issues instead of wasting time.
 - Freedom — A business that grows without being founder-dependent.

 Ways to Work Together:
 - EOS® Diagnostic Workshop
 - Quarterly EOS® Facilitation - Leadership Accountability Coaching - Fractional COO / EOS® Integrator Retainer - Hourly/Ad-hoc 
I work best with founders and leadership teams who want to scale with less chaos and more clarity. If you’re ready to turn vision into execution, let’s connect.

I provide a long-running PHP Laravel developer team that ships SaaS, CRM, marketplaces and admin tools. 7,000+ hours worked, 200+ PHP Laravel developer projects delivered, 100% Job Success Score, Top Rated Plus. As COO I scope, plan and oversee every PHP Laravel developer engagement we sign. I qualify the brief, run discovery, match the right engineers and own commercial relationships. My team owns the code. Why hire my team: - 20+ years of PHP Laravel developer delivery - 200+ PHP Laravel developer, Full Stack Laravel, Laravel Vue and PHP React projects shipped - Long-term retainers (3 - 10+ years) The PHP Laravel developer team I run is a full PHP Developer and Backend Developer bench. Every PHP Developer on it works in Laravel, MySQL and Redis with RBAC, audit trails, Stripe billing, queues and WebSocket real-time, so when a client needs a PHP Developer or a Backend Developer who owns the data model and the API, that is the seat I staff. The Backend Developer side covers schema design, REST and GraphQL APIs, background jobs and Nylas, Mailgun and Stripe integrations. On the frontend my Vue.js Developer and React Developer engineers pair with that backend. A Vue.js Developer takes admin panels, dashboards and multi-tenant SPAs on Inertia.js, Vue 3 and Pinia; a React Developer takes SaaS dashboards, marketplaces and content platforms on React + Next.js. Laravel Vue is what we reach for when a project needs a clean PHP backend with a reactive SPA. PHP React is the go-to when Laravel pairs with React + Next.js, with react node services and a javascript developer mindset across both sides. Our Full Stack Laravel team owns systems end-to-end - a Laravel + PHP backend paired with a Vue or React frontend, MySQL, APIs and AWS. Clients hire a Full Stack Laravel team instead of splitting backend and frontend specialists. Adjacent Full Stack Laravel: full stack web developer rebuilds, full stack php delivery, python full stack developer pairings for data and AI, full stack developer ai and full stack developer react funnels. A lot of the work is line-of-business systems, so I also staff a dedicated CRM Developer and ERP Developer. A CRM Developer rebuilds messy spreadsheet-and-email workflows into a single Laravel CRM with pipelines, roles and reporting; an ERP Developer wires registration, billing, inventory, lab and back-office modules into one platform with shared RBAC and audit. We have shipped a clinic ERP with cashier, doctor and lab desks and a CRM rebuild that ripped out a legacy Gutenberg setup. The CRM Developer and ERP Developer seats sit on the same Laravel core. Above the role labels, every engineer is a Software Developer first. That Software Developer discipline - clean architecture, code review, predictable deploys, tests - keeps a multi-month build stable and is what a client really buys when they hire a Software Developer through me. Migrations the team handles often: ruby on rails moved onto Laravel + React or Laravel Vue, an android developer hand-off when a backend feeds a mobile app, a flutter laravel companion when mobile is on the roadmap, a wordpress developer track for storefront and CMS migrations, and php laravel react rebuilds for clients outgrowing a Gutenberg setup. Clients hire me when they need: - a PHP Developer or Backend Developer who owns the data model, API and infra - a Vue.js Developer or React Developer to pair with a Laravel backend - a CRM Developer for pipelines, roles and reporting on Laravel - an ERP Developer for registration, billing, inventory and back-office modules - a Software Developer team for SaaS, marketplace or CRM products - a Full Stack Laravel team that owns frontend, infra and deploys - a wordpress developer hand-off and a long-term web developer and website design partner Recent work my team shipped: - Identity-verification SaaS. Backend Developer + Full Stack Laravel. Laravel + Node.js real-time, MySQL + Redis. 4K+ DAU, 1M+ checks via Developer API. - Multi-currency Voting SaaS. Full Stack Laravel / PHP React. Laravel + MySQL, real-time vote locking, Stripe payouts. 2M+ users in 10 countries, $2.5M+ revenue. - Clinic ERP. ERP Developer / Backend Developer. React + Next.js, Laravel, Node.js, Redis, AWS. Registration, cashier, doctor, lab desks, 500 patients/day. - Education B2B platform. Vue.js Developer + React Developer. Laravel 8, Vue.js admin, React portals, CKEditor, Stripe. Hierarchical content editor, student seats. - CRM rebuild on Laravel. CRM Developer / PHP Developer. Legacy WordPress + Gutenberg ripped out, photoshop assets, photographer briefs and product photography pipelines re-routed into a custom Laravel CMS with Nylas and Stripe. The COO hat keeps multi-month delivery predictable. Need a PHP Developer, Backend Developer, Vue.js Developer, React Developer, CRM Developer, ERP Developer or Software Developer team that ships on time and stays long-term - let's talk.

Most founders don't have an operations problem. They have a structural problem, and no one has built the infrastructure to fix it yet. I work with founder-led businesses scaling past $500K who are hitting the ceiling that comes before every growth stage. The business depends too heavily on the founder; execution is inconsistent, and there is no real visibility into what is working. My role is not to manage your tasks. It is to design the operating system your business runs on, so you can step back from daily operations and lead at the level your business actually needs. 📈 What this looks like in practice: ✅ Helped a marketing and media agency 3X their client base from 600 to 2000+ in 6 months without operations breaking. Redesigned onboarding, accountability systems, and delivery workflows, resulting in 95% onboarding accuracy and 30% reduction in manual work. ✅ Built a multi-clinic KPI reporting system across 4 locations covering 60+ metrics, saving 10 to 15 hours of manual reporting per week. 🔧 What I will built for you: ⚙️ Operating systems and execution rhythms your team can follow without you ⚙️ SOPs and workflows with clear ownership frameworks ⚙️ CRM/PM architecture and pipeline visibility across Monday, ClickUp, HubSpot, and Airtable ⚙️ KPI dashboards and leadership reporting that surface the right decisions ⚙️ Process automation that removes repetitive work from your team's plate ⚙️ Fractional COO support on retainer for founders who want an ongoing ops partner 🎯 Background: ✔️ 9+ years in operations | 🌍 15+ clients worldwide | 🔝 Top 3% Upwork Talent (Top Rated Plus) | 💯 100% Job Success I typically start with an Ops Diagnostic, a focused audit of where your business is losing capacity, time, and revenue, and build from there. If your business is growing but execution feels like it is holding you back, send a message and let's talk. 🚀 Saad

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. 👉 Click the "Invite to Job" button in the top right, and let’s schedule a brief 15-minute alignment call.
