ABOUT US
A collective of experts building the backbone behind thriving businesses.
We're not a one-person show. The Ops Collective brings together specialists in systems, team, and strategy — so you get exactly the expertise your business needs.

MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi, I'm Mischa
Founder & Fractional COO
I've spent 10+ years across festivals, film, hospitality, tech startups, and agencies — always staying far from corporate, always working with people who do things differently. The Ops Collective is built for founders like that: the ones chasing freedom, not just revenue.
​
In 2019, I started working remotely for the first time and haven't looked back.
I became a digital nomad, lived in a van for two years searching for a new place to call home, eventually landed in Lisbon, and after 2.5 years there, moved to the west coast of the Algarve where I am now. I have a base, but I'm still a nomad at heart — and I love the mindset of people living that life.​
​
For the past 3.5 years I've worked as a Fractional COO, Ops Consultant and mentor, supporting over 60 growth-stage founders. No business is the same, but what I noticed is that most founders have the same struggles.
​
That's why I started the Ops Collective — my third business, and the one where I get to combine everything I love: efficiency, problem-solving, and helping founders build businesses that give them their freedom.
​
I kept seeing two things: founders drowning in operational overwhelm with nowhere to turn, and brilliant experts who could solve those problems but struggled to sell themselves. So I built the bridge.
​
The Ops Collective is a vetted group of specialists who help service-based businesses scale without the chaos. Here's how it works: I get under the hood of your business, figure out what's actually holding you back, and connect you with the right expert to implement the solution. I stay hands-on throughout — translating what you need into what gets built, making sure nothing gets lost in execution.
