Want to join a small team or startup

I've spent 10 years running complex operations internationally. PMO in a digital agency. Built systems, coordinated teams, managed chaos across time zones. Now I'm looking to plug into a small team that's moving fast and needs someone who can figure out what's broken and fix it.

I'm not precious about what you call me.

What I actually do:

  • Keep projects moving without being the one who has to chase everyone
  • Build the processes that stop the same problem happening twice
  • Handle the coordination layer between founders, teams, and external partners
  • Write and communicate clearly in French and English (native both)
  • Get up to speed on new tools fast — Notion, Airtable, ClickUp, Make, Zapier, Canva and more

What I'm looking for:

  • Early to mid-stage startup
  • Full remote — non-negotiable
  • Real ownership, not a job description that gets smaller every week
  • A founder who wants a right hand, not a task executor

I don't need a fancy title. I need a problem worth solving and a team worth building with.

Based in Europe. Available immediately.

If this sounds like your team, DM me.

Looking for language exchange

Hi, my name is Agnes. I'm a native English and french speaker learning Polish.

My pronunciation is a disaster and Duolingo has taken me as far as it can.

I'm looking for a Polish speaker who wants to practice English or French in exchange, you pick. Have taught french when I was younger.

I'm genuinely serious about learning. Poland is on my horizon and I'd rather arrive speaking like a human than a phrasebook.

If you're patient with someone who will absolutely butcher your vowels for a while, let's talk :)

Strong operator / OBM rebuilding after a hard reset. Looking for the right seat, business idea or the right co-founder. Would love honest input

I'm a strong operator: Chief of Staff / OBM type. Rebuilding after a hard reset, and I'm trying to figure out my smartest next move.

Quick background on how I got here: my life reset hard a while back - divorce, lost a significant share of my own hard earned money because my work and income were tangled up with my marriage.

After the divorce hit and I accepted my financial loss, I built a freelance business and landed a solid main client. That client just exited a week ago. She's selling her business. So my income is basically gone again.

Two rebuilds in a short window. Here I am.

Here's what I've learned about myself in the process: I'm 35+, and I'm not built for the freelance hustle. The constant client pipeline, the self-promotion, being an influencer for my own business... it wears me down before it ever pays off, and it's not where I'm strong.

Where I'm strong is running things.

I'm looking for one of two things:

(1) The right seat inside one business as an OBM.

For context: an Online Business Manager (OBM) is the right hand of a CEO or founder. I take ownership of operations, systems, projects, and team coordination so the founder can stay in their zone of genius. I'm the person who makes sure the right things get done, at the right time, by the right people. The full operational backbone of a business. Not a VA. Not an assistant. A strategic operator.

(2) The right co-founder.

I'm the operator, not the front-person. Give me a vision and I'll build the machine that delivers it. I'm looking for someone strong on product, sales, or a specific industry, where I come in as the person who makes the whole thing actually run.

(3) Build something from scratch, but not as the face of it.

This one needs a bit of explanation because I think it's misunderstood. Constantly on social media, growing a personal brand, posting content, being an influencer for your own company... for some people that's natural. For me it's exhausting and unsustainable. I can represent my business in rooms, but not as an online influencer on Tiktok behind a camera.

My skillset in plain terms: → ~10 years managing operations: Chief of Staff level work in creative agencies, boutique hospitality businesses, longevity/health clinic. → Building SOPs, systems and workflows from scratch → Vendor and team management → CRM, client onboarding, databases → Full back-office engine → Bilingual French / English → Fully remote, nomadic across Europe year round (Italy, Poland, Switzerland, Portugal)

On the nomadic life: I travel constantly with my partner, who runs a successful business of his own.

Our finances are completely separate and that's intentional. He's been burned mixing business with a relationship before, and so have I. That lesson cost both of us significantly. Keeping our livelihoods independent isn't a preference. It's a hard line we've both drawn from experience. So "just work with your partner" isn't an option, and it shouldn't be.

One thing I bring to a partnership: because of how I live, I move through high-net-worth circles, ski resorts, luxury alpine environments, that world. It's access and proximity most people don't have. I'd love to connect with others moving through those same rooms who are building something real, to collaborate and not to pitch.

Hard selling in those environments is the fastest way to be shown the door, and that's not how I operate.

What I'm asking:

  1. If you were me: strong operator, nomadic, done with the pipeline hustle... what would you actually do in the next 30 days to land the right seat, build a business on your own, or find the right co-founder?

  2. Has anyone here built something stable while living nomadically? How did you create recurring income without constant client chasing or basically turn into an influencer?

  3. Are there people here building something where a seasoned bilingual operator would be the missing piece? I'm open to conversation.

  4. I'd also genuinely welcome an accountability buddy. Someone else rebuilding or building, who wants a weekly check-in to stay on track.

Not looking for sympathy. Looking for sharp input and possibly the right connection.

Keeping our livelihoods independent isn't a preference. It's a hard line we've both drawn from experience. So "just work with your partner" isn't an option, and it shouldn't be.

One thing I bring to a partnership: because of how I live, I move through high-net-worth circles, ski resorts, luxury alpine environments, that world. It's access and proximity most people don't have. I'd love to connect with others moving through those same rooms who are building something real, to collaborate and not to pitch.

Hard selling in those environments is the fastest way to be shown the door, and that's not how I operate.

What I'm asking:

  1. If you were me: strong operator, nomadic, done with the pipeline hustle... what would you actually do in the next 30 days to land the right seat, build a business on your own, or find the right co-founder?

  2. Has anyone here built something stable while living nomadically? How did you create recurring income without constant client chasing or basically turn into an influencer?

  3. Are there people here building something where a seasoned bilingual operator would be the missing piece? I'm open to conversation.

  4. I'd also genuinely welcome an accountability buddy. Someone else rebuilding or building, who wants a weekly check-in to stay on track.

Not looking for sympathy. Looking for sharp input and possibly the right connection.

Thanks for reading!
