@katerynavelyka
I build scalable EdTech operations, process architecture, and high-performing cross-functional teams.
What I'm looking for
At Academy of Care, I built and scaled operational infrastructure for a fast-growing EdTech business, turning founder-led processes into measurable systems. I led operations for 20+ specialists and supported 30+ educational product launches, contributing to 71.9% year-over-year revenue growth, a 59% CAC reduction, and an 8.28 LTV/CAC ratio.
Previously, I transformed an early-stage online education startup into a structured operation, coordinating a remote team of 12 and standardizing learning, sales, customer communication, and service processes. I centralized workflows in Microsoft 365 and helped sustain 75% customer retention through consistent parent communication and reporting.
I bring experience across operational and financial planning, KPI governance, CRM automation, customer journeys, crisis continuity, and team coordination. I’m interested in operational leadership roles where scalable systems and efficient processes support sustainable business growth.
