Most consultants give you a strategy deck. I build the infrastructure that makes your strategy work.
Many clients hire me for operations support or project management. What they get is a Strategic Business Architect who designs the operational infrastructure their business needs to scale—then executes it.
Over seven years, I've discovered that businesses don't fail from lack of vision. They fail from lack of infrastructure. The gap between "great idea" and "sustainable reality" is operational design—and that's exactly what I build.
I've architected infrastructure for tech startups scaling rapidly, established businesses overhauling operations for growth, cultural organizations managing complex multi-stakeholder events, and founders launching ventures from zero. I think in systems, build across disciplines, and execute what others only plan.
WHAT I BUILD:
- Strategic infrastructure (business direction, roadmapping, decision frameworks)
- Operational systems (workflow design, process optimization, automation)
- Execution frameworks (end-to-end project leadership across teams and timelines)
- Digital infrastructure (websites, integrations, workflow tools)
- Creative operations (brand assets, marketing materials, media distribution)
- Data infrastructure (dashboards, KPI tracking, business intelligence)
HOW I'M DIFFERENT:
I don't just advise—I build it with you. I don't just manage chaos—I design the infrastructure that prevents it.
I've run my own ventures, managed compliance-heavy government projects, led product launches, and scaled operations across industries. I understand the weight of every decision and the ripple effect of every system you build (or don't build).
Where others see a problem, I see infrastructure that needs designing. Where others manage competing priorities, I architect frameworks that help priorities find their natural hierarchy.
I work in a "grow with you" partnership model—not transactional consulting. We build together, scale together, and win together.
INDUSTRIES I'VE SERVED:
Tech startups, creative agencies, e-commerce, cultural organizations, service-based businesses, coaches/consultants, sustainable ventures
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Your business needs infrastructure—the operational backbone between vision and reality. That's what I architect. That's what I build.
Ready to build the infrastructure your business is missing? Let's start.

I am a Fractional COO and Operating Architect for founder-led and PE-adjacent companies navigating scale, capital events, and operating system rebuilds. I am the author of The Scrappy COO, a practical operating playbook for leaders building under real constraints.
For 20 years, I've led operations across banking, lending, compliance, and multi-$100M operating environments, including executive leadership across organizations moving $7B-$9B in annualized transaction volume and managing $1.2B+ asset portfolios.
My work spans:
• Hyper-growth and burnout cycles
• PE diligence and investor readiness
• Cross-border expansion and integration
• M&A, portfolio risk normalization, and regulatory scrutiny
• Executive throughput constraints under scale
This is not coaching.
This is operating system architecture at the executive level.
How I Work (My Operating Method):
I don't fix symptoms. I rebuild operating environments at the system level. Which means, you’re investing in outcomes, not hourly pay for hire.
1. Signal Extraction & Constraint Mapping
Rapid diagnostics across leadership capacity, throughput bottlenecks, financial controls, and delivery friction.
2. Root-Cause Architecture
Isolation of system failure points across structure, incentives, tooling, governance, and decision rights.
3. Operating Model Rebuild
EOS-aligned cadence, dashboards, SOP layers, and AI-enhanced execution workflows.
4. Executive Load Rebalancing
Clarifying ownership, escalation paths, and performance signal across leadership teams.
5. Stabilization + Scale Guardrails
Ensuring growth doesn't recreate the same failure modes.
Core Engagement Areas:
• AI x Operations Architecture
• Scoring & prioritization logic
• Process orchestration
• Human-in-loop governance
• Executive reporting & anomaly detection
I do not train models or deploy infrastructure. I operate at the workflow, orchestration, and governance layer.
Founder Clarity & Operating Diagnostics:
• Executive throughput constraints
• Decision friction
• KPI blindness
• System drag and execution misalignment
Operating Rhythm & System Design:
• EOS-aligned L10s
• Leadership dashboards
• SOP and role architecture
• Data-to-decision pipelines
GTM & Ops Alignment:
• Revenue-to-delivery integrity
• Sales, marketing, brand, and operations unification
• Capacity-aware growth modeling
Capital Event & Board Readiness:
• Pre-diligence operating audits
• KPI normalization for investor visibility
• Data room operating clarity
• Post-close integration planning
Documented Operating Outcomes:
• Scaled closed volume from $300M to $745M/month in four months via org design and workflow re-architecture
• Built and led secondary marketing bulk and flow sales for mixed assets of $216M/yr
• Increased ROA by .58 bps through design and GTM lead on new verticals
• Automated compliance testing across full production lifecycle
• Reduced cycle times from 6 months to 48 hours via org re-architecture
• Built executive dashboards adopted as board reporting standard
• Designed proprietary portfolio rating systems praised by federal regulators
Engagement Positioning:
Most founders don't hire me for hours. They hire me for outcomes.
My work replaces or augments:
• Full-time COO
• Chief of Staff
• Operating transformation teams
-at a fraction of fixed cost, without the 6–9-month ramp risk.
Engagements are structured with defined diagnostic phases, operating milestones, and executive reporting cadence.
I work fast, precisely, and protect capital by eliminating root causes early.
I am not the cheapest. I am often the least expensive-because precision prevents months of wasted spend.
Availability:
• Select strategic projects, diagnostics, and blueprint builds
• Evening + weekend alignment windows
• NDA-ready
• Retainer and sprint-based engagements only

Most organizations don't have a technology problem. They have an execution problem. Critical work is spread across spreadsheets, email, CRMs, project management tools, disconnected automations, and manual processes. Teams spend more time coordinating work than completing it.
I help organizations design and implement operational systems that eliminate bottlenecks, automate execution, improve visibility, and create scalable workflows that teams can actually run on.
My work sits at the intersection of operations, workflow design, automation, AI, and systems implementation.
I don't deliver recommendations that end up in a slide deck.
I build production-ready systems that improve how work gets done.
What I Help Organizations Build
• AI-powered operational workflows
• Business process automation systems
• Workflow orchestration platforms
• Internal business operating systems
• Operational dashboards and visibility layers
• Knowledge management and document intelligence solutions
• CRM and HubSpot automation
• SharePoint and Microsoft 365 workflow solutions
• AI copilots and retrieval-augmented knowledge systems (RAG)
• Cross-functional workflow and approval systems
• Resource, capacity, and operational planning tools
Typical Engagements
Organizations usually hire me when they are experiencing one or more of the following:
• Teams are overwhelmed by manual processes
• Work is falling through the cracks between departments
• Existing automations are fragmented and difficult to maintain
• Leadership lacks operational visibility
• Growth is creating coordination challenges
• AI initiatives have stalled at the pilot stage
• Critical processes depend on tribal knowledge
How I Work
Every engagement starts with understanding the operational workflow underneath the problem.
From there I design and implement systems that support execution through:
• Workflow mapping and redesign
• Operational data architecture
• Workflow state management
• Routing and escalation logic
• API-driven orchestration
• AI-enabled workflows
• Human-in-the-loop governance
• Operational reporting and visibility
• Cross-functional process coordination
The result is a system your team can operate confidently long after deployment.
Experience
Before consulting, I spent 16 years with Brother International in senior operational leadership roles with P&L responsibility across B2B wholesale, direct-to-consumer operations, channel management, and large-scale partner execution.
Today I work with founders, leadership teams, agencies, consultancies, healthcare organizations, real estate operators, professional services firms, and growing businesses that need practical operational systems—not more software.

When growth starts depending on founder heroics, loose handoffs, tribal knowledge, and inconsistent execution, the business needs a stronger operating model before it can handle more momentum.
For the last 25 years, I've helped founder-led, service-based, and growth-stage businesses diagnose operational friction, redesign broken or overloaded workflows, and build systems that improve clarity, accountability, and scalable execution.
My background combines executive operations, business systems thinking, process redesign, and practical implementation. I am especially valuable when leadership can feel that operations, marketing, and delivery are out of alignment, but the real problem has not yet been clearly defined.
Most common on and off-platform deliverables:
- Workflow audits and operational cleanup
- SOPs, policies, playbooks, and process documentation
- ClickUp and Monday(.com) setup, cleanup, and workflow organization
- Project and implementation support
- Handoff redesign, accountability structure, and process visibility
- Service-delivery improvement and operating rhythm
- Cross-functional alignment between operations, marketing, and website execution
- Fractional COO or strategic operations support for founder-led teams
My work has included:
- Setup, cleanup, and workflow organization using ClickUp and Monday(.com)
- Centralizing fragmented service operations across multi-location businesses
- Improving service delivery and workflow consistency
- Building SOPs, process visibility, and accountability structures
- Aligning operations with business realities and growth constraints
- Guiding teams through operational cleanup, redesign, and implementation
A few representative examples:
- Centralized operations for a $200M service conglomerate spanning 50 brands across 8 states.
- Overhauled a rehab and recovery organization's cash flow from deep in the red to 11% net profit.
- Recalibrated a <5% profit virtual admin firm into a <18% (24/7/365) virtual call center
- Designed a custom event-management platform to fix an inefficient event management process
- Developed SOP-driven operational frameworks that improved execution for scaling businesses.
I am the right fit when you need someone who can:
- identify what is actually breaking execution
- redesign the operating model
- create clearer workflows, ownership, and standards
- guide implementation far enough that the system becomes usable in the real world
If your business is growing, but the current structure is creating friction, rework, confusion, or founder bottlenecks, that is the kind of problem I am built to solve.

Chief Operations Officer | EOS Integrator | Strategic Operator | Execution Architect | Force Multiplier | Right-Hand to 9 Figure Founders
Specialized in $10K - 25K per month retainers for scaling founder-led businesses (EOS implementation, capital raing ops, revenue systems). I’m the Fractional Chief Operations Officer CEOs call when they’re running multiple companies and personal projects faster than their systems can keep up. For 15+ years I’ve served as the strategic right hand to 9- and 10-figure founders — translating vision into living roadmaps, aligning priorities across entities, and driving execution while protecting the CEO’s time and focus.
I’m new to the Upwork platform in 2025, but I’ve spent the last 15+ years as a fractional Chief Operations Officer and LinkedIn Strategist for founders and executives in AI, fintech, blockchain, and venture-backed startups — including roles that directly supported $1B+ in capital commitments.
Just search ‘Wendy Feliu’ on LinkedIn - I’m the only one and my profile is public.
What I deliver every week for clients in your exact situation:
• Weekly CEO syncs → structured plans + ruthless prioritization
• One living Notion roadmap that keeps every company and personal project in sync
• Cross-entity alignment (ops, finance, legal, family office, real estate, personal)
• Integration of business + personal calendars, goals, and deliverables
• The Nonet Pillars — my proprietary framework of nine interconnected disciplines that turns chaos into momentum
Fast-paced growth companies:
• Built and scaled content production systems and editorial calendars that drove 40%+ engagement growth for executive-led brands
• Recruited, onboarded, and performance-managed distributed creative and ops teams (writers, designers, marketing, customer-acquisition specialists)
• Designed and ran integrated sales + marketing playbooks across real-estate, fintech, and lifestyle portfolios
• Stood up full back-office operations (CRM, project management, SOPs, budgeting) for 7-, 8-, and 9-figure operating companies in under 90 days
Optional Add-On: LinkedIn Authority Engine ($4k–$8k/month extra):
I also run LinkedIn for the founders I serve — turning raw voice notes and half-ideas into content that pulls in investors, talent, and customers. One founder’s posts alone helped close $1B+ in commitments. Another saw 40%+ engagement growth and 15% more inbound leads in 90 days. Zero extra meetings from you - we layer this on top of the COO retainer.
Research & Strategic Intelligence:
• Built and maintained proprietary database of 16,000+ U.S.-based ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family offices
• Conducted due-diligence and background research on investors, partners, and vendors across fintech, AI, blockchain, and real estate
• Researched and summarized complex topics into executive-ready 1–2 page briefs and presentations
If you need someone to “manage tasks,” hire an assistant.
If you need the operator who becomes the central nervous system for your entire ecosystem, let’s talk.

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.
