@amandadraper
Strategic operations leader scaling startups and revenue-driven teams.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a trilingual U.S.–Brazilian operations and talent leader who partners with founders and executives to turn chaos into clarity and drive measurable growth. I specialize in building the systems, teams, and infrastructure that enable bootstrapped and growth-stage companies to scale.
At a bootstrapped B2B SaaS marketplace I rebuilt and scaled operations from $0 to ~$1M in 30 months by overhauling frameworks, launching flagship products, and integrating systems with Product and Engineering to accelerate delivery.
As Director of Operations at a boutique recruiting firm, I served as de facto COO/Chief of Staff, built four core operational engines, created 300+ SOPs and playbooks, implemented an ATS/CRM stack, negotiated vendor contracts, and helped drive 4× revenue growth in under 12 months.
I lead cross-functional teams, implement automation and analytics to save time and improve decision-making, and launch talent and DEI initiatives that deliver hiring outcomes. I bring a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to scaling revenue, operations, and people systems.
