PROFILE
Operations leader who turns founder-dependent companies into systems that run without them — org design, KPIs, hiring,
P&L, and AI-automated internal operations. 7 years across interim-COO, fractional-COO, and founder seats in e-commerce,
services, and AI-agency businesses. I combine classic operating discipline with hands-on AI automation (n8n, Claude, MCP), so
the company moves faster with less headcount. Independent contractor, remote, invoice-based; no sponsorship or relocation
needed.

RECOMMENDATION

“He delivered exactly what we needed: clear niche identification, a practical go-to-market strategy, and a framework for
deciding what to pursue next. He combines analytical rigor with sound judgment. I recommend Yevhenii strongly for
organizations that need strategic clarity — not theory, but direction they can act on.”
— Oleksandr Fedorov, Co-Founder & CTO, Ten8.ai (Ex-Google engineer) · LinkedIn recommendation, July 2026
