Seeking a Chief of Staff or Operations Leadership role at a funded growth-stage company. I lead GTM execution, OKRs, hiring, AI automation, and operating rhythms, partnering closely with founders to turn strategy into measurable outcomes. I thrive in high-ownership, fast-moving environments where ops is a growth lever, not a support function.

What I'm looking for
I'm a founding COO and operations architect with 4 years of hands-on experience scaling startups from zero to one and beyond.
At Webxela, I owned everything from day one built the team from 2 to 15 across product, engineering, sales, and operations, architected the GTM engine that took revenue from zero to a significant ARR within months, and designed the agentic AI systems that reduced manual operations by 40%. I didn't manage an existing playbook. I wrote it.
I operate using the CAT framework Consistency, Action, and Turnover which means every system I build runs without the founder needing to be in every decision. That's the real measure of operational infrastructure.
Currently advising multiple early-stage funded startups on operations architecture and AI automation on a selective referral basis, consistently reducing manual ops by 30–50%.
My technical background OpenAI APIs, agentic workflows, CRM architecture, PowerBI dashboards, OKRs, and business review cadences doesn't make me a developer. It makes my operational systems more precise and harder to break.
Seeking a full-time remote role as Chief of Staff, Head of Operations, or GTM/RevOps Lead at a funded growth-stage company. Available immediately. Remote-native and timezone-adaptable.
