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.

I build Lean Business Operating Systems (LBOS) that let founders step out of day-to-day operations — without the business slowing down. I work with digital agencies, online coaches, and service-based founders who've outgrown founder-led operations. In 24 years running operations — from a $50M+ APAC energy portfolio to scaling a home services platform to 9,000+ customers — I've learned the same lesson everywhere: growth stalls when goals, KPIs, workflows, and accountability live in different places. LBOS puts them in one system. What I Build A custom operating system for your business: SOPs, automation, and accountability structures, wired together using tools you likely already have — Notion, ClickUp, Asana, GoHighLevel, Power BI. I don't believe in reinventing the wheel. I connect the right tools the right way. Track Record Built LBOS playbooks for 12+ startups, improving scalability, efficiency, and revenue predictability As Fractional COO for The Retail Strategists, increased delivery speed 40% through automation and SOP alignment As Consultant for Winkdezign, restructured project delivery and client systems, cutting lead time 25% and opening the business to international markets As Founder & CEO of Agniko Home Services, scaled a 4-city home services platform to 9,000+ customers and 300% revenue growth — StartupTN TANSEED 5.0 and Emerging Startup of the Year (Times Group) Managed $50M+ in assets and 100+ multicultural staff across APAC at Modex Energy Singapore Tools I Connect Notion (Advanced) | Asana (Ambassador) | ClickUp | Monday com | GoHighLevel | Power BI | Salesforce | Google Workspace | Zapier | Looker Studio | Miro | Lucidchart | Visio | ChatGPT | Claude | Perplexity Industries Digital marketing agencies | Online coaching & consulting | eCommerce | SaaS | Home services | Retail | Energy | Manufacturing Why Clients Work With Me I don't just optimize operations — I engineer the system that runs them. Your LBOS becomes your company's operational backbone: lean, data-driven, and built to scale without you carrying it day to day.

Founders bring me in when a meaningful decision is approaching and the numbers are not yet ready. That usually means one of five things: ▶ a capital raise is coming ▶ debt or lender conversations need stronger support ▶ cash visibility is weak ▶ the forecast cannot be trusted ▶ investor, buyer, or diligence scrutiny is getting closer I work with founder-led companies that need decision-grade finance, not bookkeeping-only support. My core engagements include: 🔹 CFO Reviewed Financials™ A structured financial diagnostic that identifies the most important reporting, margin, liquidity, and control issues affecting decision quality. 🔹 CFO Reviewed Financial Model™ A diligence-grade review of an existing model to pressure-test assumptions, logic integrity, capital needs, and investor-readiness. 🔹 Comprehensive Financial Model™ A dynamic, driver-based model built for fundraising, debt, hiring decisions, expansion planning, or exit preparation. 🔹 Investor-Ready / Lender-Ready / Buyer-Ready Sprints Structured, time-boxed engagements for companies preparing for investor conversations, lender or credit discussions, buyer diligence, or exit-readiness planning. 🔹 Ongoing CFO Advisory Financial leadership for founders who need stronger forecasting, KPI discipline, reporting cadence, and strategic finance judgment. Published rate reflects initial advisory and diagnostic work. Larger readiness, modeling, and CFO engagements are scoped separately based on decision context, complexity, and timeline. Selected outcomes include: ✔ $29.3M raised across four VC rounds ✔ $20M expansion funding secured ✔ support for a $22.0M acquisition completed ahead of plan ✔ a $5M telehealth startup sale ✔ a turnaround from a $1.5M loss to a $0.5M profit I am a fit when the business has a real financial decision in front of it. I am not the right fit for bookkeeping-only, tax-return-only, or cosmetic spreadsheet work. If you are preparing for capital, debt, diligence, cash restructuring, or a strategic exit, send a message with the decision you need to make and the timeline you are working against.
