Fractional COO & AI Ops Architect Organizing Chaos with Systems

Hi, I’m Marilyn—founder of Madli Creative and your partner in turning chaos into clarity. I’m a Fractional COO and AI operations architect who thrives on organizing messy processes, streamlining creative workflows and designing systems that feel as intuitive as they are powerful. When your to‑do list is overflowing and your ops feel unmanageable, I build frameworks that restore calm and give you room to breathe. What I do Systems & Security Engineering – I build holistic operational ecosystems: from mobile‑device management and data security to system integrations that just work. I love designing architectures that protect your team’s data and keep everyone moving smoothly. AI‑Powered Process Optimization – I weave AI and automation into your workflows using no‑code tools, custom GPTs and API integrations. This eliminates repetitive tasks, connects your finance and CRM systems and surfaces real‑time insights—so you can focus on big‑picture strategy. Product & Subscription Architecture – I guide hardware and software choices, craft data architecture and plan subscription models for new products. Whether you’re launching an IoT device or scaling a SaaS platform, I align the tech with your business vision. UX Testing & Feedback Loops – I lead user‑journey walkthroughs of your apps and tools, identify friction points, test save workflows and recommend improvements that delight users and support your brand’s voice. Financial Systems & Automation – I clean up messy books, automate QuickBooks/Xero, reconcile multi‑source payments and streamline A/P & A/R. My AI‑enhanced finance workflows save you time and improve accuracy. Creative Problem Solver – I bring an open mind and a listening ear to every project. Whether you need an out‑of‑the‑box solution for a complex ops challenge or a fresh perspective on your product roadmap, I collaborate with you to design solutions that feel human and scalable. Why clients hire me Because I care deeply about making the messy side of business feel simple, supportive and sustainable. I combine operations savvy with a creative mindset to build systems that are both rigorous and inspiring. If you’re ready to turn operational chaos into a calm, organized foundation for growth—and you’d like a partner who listens, thinks creatively and executes—you’re in the right place. Let’s connect and start building the next chapter of your business together.
