Monica D.

Business Operations Manager | Executive & Founder Support

I work with founders and growing businesses to manage day-to-day operations, improve internal processes, and take ownership of the operational responsibilities that keep the business running. My work is hands-on, whether that means managing an ongoing business function, coordinating projects across teams, or handling the administrative work involved. I spent five years at Owner, a San Francisco-based SaaS startup, where I joined as employee #1 and worked directly with the founders as the company grew to more than 200 employees. During that time, I built and managed multiple functions across customer operations, business operations, logistics, and People Ops. My experience spans both building operational systems from scratch and managing the day-to-day work behind them. I've implemented business tools, developed workflows and SOPs, managed cross-functional projects, and owned administrative processes across multiple areas of the business.
