Fractional Head of Operations

I help founders and executive teams scale without chaos by building operating models, decision frameworks, and systems that turn strategy into execution.

What I Build

  • Operating Models

    Structured systems for planning, prioritization, and execution - so your strategy doesn’t stall in Slack threads.

  • Planning Cycles

    From OKRs to quarterly rhythms, I design routines your team actually follows, without adding more meetings.

  • Decision Frameworks

    No more whack-a-mole leadership. I help you make decisions faster, with less friction and more alignment.

  • Roles, Routines & Reporting Lines

    I bring clarity to who does what, how things get done, and where ownership actually lives.

Why Work With Me

I bring 20+ years of experience across finance, operations, and executive leadership — partnering with high-growth companies where clarity, structure, and execution aren’t optional.

I’ve negotiated deals, operated as a CFO, built systems, and advised executive teams through scale, transition, and transformation. I don’t show up with theories, I build what works under pressure.

My advantage?

I combine strategic operations with neuroscience-backed behavior design, so the systems we build aren’t just aligned on paper. They work in real time, with real people, in high-stakes environments.

If you’re growing fast and need an operator who can match your pace with precision, we should talk.

Case study

Client Profile
A 50-person cross-functional Product, Engineering, and Analytics team inside a high-growth tech company. The team was growing fast and producing results — but internal operations couldn’t keep up. Planning was fragmented, decisions went undocumented, and collaboration between pods was powered more by heroics than systems.

The Ask
Leadership knew their success wasn’t sustainable. They needed an operating model to match their ambitions: repeatable rhythms, async-friendly systems, and internal ownership that would last after I left. My job was to build just enough structure to enable execution without slowing anyone down.

Here’s how we can work together

  • Focused Ops Projects

    Targeted work to fix what’s slowing you down. Ideal for teams needing one-time help building key systems or solving critical ops gaps.

Leaders Trust Me to Deliver Real Results

  • “I have been working with Snizhana over the past three years and I can not think of a more professional and reliable person than her. She was one of the first people who supported me in my entrepreneurial journey. She became the mentor and advisor of the very first acceleration programme we launched, providing unique expertise, knowledge and insights to startups in our cohorts.
    Since then I know that I can rely on her any time I need advice or help - something I truly appreciate and value. I also don't hesitate to send startups from our portfolio Snizhana's way and I am 100% sure that their problem will be solved especially when it comes to forecasting, fundraising and business strategy in general. I highly recommend reaching out to her if you want to get a professional and trusted partner on board.”
