Imane B.
Fractional Project Manager | Ex-Deputy Chief of Staff | Operations
I help early-stage founders and scaleups turn priorities into execution. With 5+ years of experience across project management, operations, and executive support, including serving as Deputy Chief of Staff to the CEO of a multi-country organization, I help teams stay organized, projects move forward, and business priorities translate into results. I work two ways with clients: Embed: ongoing fractional support, folded into your team like I'm already on it Build-and-hand-off: I design and implement a system, then hand it to your team to run Here's how I can help you: - Project Management: Own project timelines, coordinate stakeholders, track deliverables, manage risks, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. - Business Operations: Build workflows, document SOPs, improve processes, and create systems that make day-to-day operations more efficient. - Founder & Executive Support: Manage priorities, prepare meeting briefs, track decisions, coordinate follow-ups, and keep strategic initiatives moving. - Project Systems & Reporting: Set up project management workspaces, dashboards, trackers, and reporting processes that give you visibility into your business. - AI & Workflow Improvement: Identify opportunities to reduce repetitive work and improve operational efficiency through practical automation. My approach I'm proactive, structured, and comfortable working independently. I don't just track tasks; I look at the bigger picture, anticipate bottlenecks, and help build the systems your business needs to execute effectively. I've worked across multiple countries and with distributed teams, so I'm comfortable coordinating people, managing competing priorities, and bringing clarity to complex projects. I can help you if you're: - A founder who needs someone to take ownership of projects and follow through. - A growing business that needs better systems and processes. - A team juggling multiple initiatives without clear visibility or accountability. - An executive who needs reliable support turning strategic priorities into action. A bit about me: I'm based in Mauritius, trilingual in English, Arabic, and French, and I've worked with teams across Europe, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature and traveling the world. I take on a small number of projects at a time so I can be genuinely useful to each one. If you’re building something and need someone to make sure it actually gets delivered, get in touch. Best, Imane
