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.

In 2019, I went remote and never looked back. I became a digital nomad, lived in a van for two years, landed in Lisbon, then moved to the west coast of the Algarve. I have a base now, but I'm still a nomad at heart.

For the past 3.5 years I've worked as a Fractional COO and mentor, supporting over 60 growth-stage founders. No business is the same, but the struggles always were.

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.
