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.

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.

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.

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
