I help founders, agencies, SaaS companies, and operations teams turn messy workflows, AI initiatives, and project portfolios into scalable operating systems. I am not a traditional project manager. I work as an AI Operations Architect - COO: I diagnose how your business actually runs, take the AS-IS, understand your TO-BE and determine the GAP-ANALYSIS, identify bottlenecks, redesign workflows, define ownership, build governance, and turn execution into a repeatable and scalable system without loosing sight of accountability. Typical problems I solve: • Operations depend too much on the founder or a few key people • From time to time, it feels as if chaos takes the driver’s seat • Teams use ClickUp, Asana, Jira, Monday, Notion, Project, Microsoft Azure Devops, Miro, Google Sheet, Docs, Trello, Smartsheet, Zoho Project, Confluence, CRMs or spreadsheets, but accountability is unclear • AI and automation ideas exist, but nobody has translated them into safe, usable workflows • Projects are active, but leadership lacks reliable portfolio visibility • Delivery, sales, operations, product and support teams do not work from one operating model • There are no clear SOPs, decision trees, escalation rules, dashboards or governance routines What I can build for you: • AI-ready operating models and workflow architecture • PMO and portfolio governance systems • Executive dashboards, KPIs, RAID logs and decision frameworks • Process maps, SOPs, accountability models and escalation logic • AI automation roadmaps using tools such as OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Make, bots, chatbots, voice bots, Zapier, ClickUp, Asana, Jira, Monday, Notion, HubSpot, Zoho and related platforms • Product roadmaps, PRDs, requirements, backlogs and delivery plans • Human-in-the-loop governance for AI-enabled operations • 30/60/90-day execution plans with priorities, owners and measurable outcomes My background combines 20+ years in project, program, portfolio, product and operations management, plus hands-on experience building AI-enabled business systems. I have worked across business, technology, fintech, SaaS, automation, governance, compliance, and executive transformation contexts with cross-functional, multi-language, multi-cultural, and global teams. I am especially useful when the problem is not just “manage tasks,” but: “Help us design how this business should run.” A strong first engagement is an Operations, AI & Governance Audit. In 1–2 weeks, I can review your workflows, tools, documentation, meetings, reporting and delivery model, then deliver an X-ray view of these options: • Current-state diagnosis • Bottlenecks and risk map • Target operating model • Automation and AI opportunity map • Governance structure • Tool/process recommendations • 90-day implementation roadmap If you need someone who can connect strategy, systems, people, process and execution, I can help you build the operating system behind the business.
