AI-powered systems and operations partner

Your business should run without you in the middle of everything.

I help coaches, consultants and boutique agencies connect their lead management, client onboarding, CRM and day-to-day operations into systems that work together. From the first enquiry to client delivery, I identify the bottlenecks, build the right workflow, and document how it works.

AI-powered operations. Human judgment. Systems that hold up.

Nairobi-based and working remotely with coaches, consultants and boutique agencies across the United States and Canada.

The operational problems I solve

Where founder time quietly disappears

Most service businesses do not have a lead problem. They have a handoff problem between the first enquiry and delivered work.

Leads that go cold

Slow follow-up, scattered intake forms and missed bookings.

Inconsistent onboarding

Contracts, invoices and welcome steps rebuilt by hand for every client.

Tools in silos

A CRM, a scheduler and a project board that never quite talk to each other.

Fragile automations

Workflows that look good in a demo and break on the first unusual case.

Services

CRM, automation and operations support

CRM management and workflow automation

GoHighLevel, HubSpot and Dubsado set up around how your clients actually move, then kept clean.

Client onboarding automation

Intake, contracts, reminders and project creation connected into one repeatable journey.

Executive operations support

Inbox, calendar, reporting and recurring workflows owned, not just assisted.

AI-assisted workflows

AI handles the repetitive work. A person reviews it before it reaches your clients.

SOPs and process documentation

Every system documented so your business owns it, not me.

Systems review

An honest check of whether a process or tool is the right fit before anything is built.

My approach

Assess, design, implement, maintain

Most people you hire will build what you ask for. I check whether it will work first, and I tell you before you spend on it.

Assess

Find the bottleneck and test whether the proposed fix suits your business.

Design

Map the workflow on paper and agree scope before touching a tool.

Implement

Build, test against real edge cases, and document each step.

Maintain

Monitor, troubleshoot and review monthly so it holds up over time.

Meet Jane

A short hello before we talk systems

I believe a business should run without its founder. If it only works because you are holding it together, you have a job you cannot quit. This is how I think about fixing that.

Systems in practice

Selected work, each a business problem first

Statuses are stated honestly. Unfinished parts are marked as unfinished.

Built and running

Lead-to-Client System

My own GoHighLevel build. Leads get lost or mishandled when intake, discovery bookings, reminders and follow-up sit in separate places.

Built
CRM pipeline and tags, lead intake form, 15-minute discovery calendar, lead capture workflow, booking confirmation and reminders, cancellation and no-show workflow, proposal-to-onboarding workflow and dashboard.
Evidence
Full write-up on Notion.

Enquiry → intake form → discovery booking → reminders → cancel or no-show follow-up → proposal → onboarding

Client Lifecycle Management

Client delivery gets inconsistent when contracts, communication and onboarding depend on manual coordination.

Approach
An onboarding flow designed across GoHighLevel, Dubsado and HubSpot for a fast-growing service business.
Why it matters
Every new client gets the same clear start, so delivery stays consistent as volume grows.
Evidence

Aim
Structured records, clearer tracking and repeatable follow-up.
Evidence
Walkthrough available on request.

About Jane

I notice what others overlook

I check whether an automation, campaign or idea will hold up before it is built. If something will not work, I say so early and bring a better plan.

FAQ

Common questions

Are you a virtual assistant or a systems partner?

Mainly a systems and operations partner. I handle routine operations work too, but the focus is building and maintaining workflows that reduce it.

Which tools do you work in?

GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Dubsado, Asana, ClickUp, Airtable, Zapier and Make, among others. I choose by fit, not by habit.

Do you use AI?

Yes, to speed up repetitive work. Anything client-facing is reviewed by a person before it goes out.

What happens if you advise against my idea?

I explain why and offer a better option. The decision stays with you.

Where are you based, and which time zones work?

I am based in Nairobi, Kenya and work remotely. We agree overlap hours at the start.

Ready for operations that run without you?

Tell me what is stuck and book a discovery call. No pressure, no jargon.
