Hello, I'm Amanda Draper.

I’m a trilingual (English​,​ Spanish​,​ Portuguese) dual U.S.–Brazilian operator who works as a founder’s right hand when things feel chaotic​,​ urgent​,​ and high-stakes. I specialize in helping early-stage and growth-stage founders turn vision into execution—especially when resources are lean​,​ pressure is high​,​ and there’s no margin for error. I’ve built and scaled operations​,​ revenue systems​,​ and hiring engines across SaaS​,​ recruiting​,​ and PE-backed environments​,​ including taking a bootstrapped company from $0 to nearly $1M in revenue and enabling 4× growth in under 12 months at another. Founders come to me when: • everything feels messy but important • they need clarity​,​ structure​,​ and momentum fast • they’re carrying the company on their back and need a trusted partner My style is direct​,​ calm​,​ and human. I’m known for telling the truth with kindness—saying the hard things when they need to be said​,​ without ego or judgment. I set high standards because I’m deeply invested in my clients’ success​,​ and I don’t disappear when things get uncomfortable. I’ve worked through meltdowns​,​ pivots​,​ missed targets​,​ and “this might not work” moments—and helped teams come out stronger on the other side. I work comfortably across functions (Ops​,​ RevOps​,​ Hiring​,​ GTM enablement) and across cultures​,​ time zones​,​ and personalities—including neurodivergent and non-traditional founders. I’m not here for vibes or theory; I’m here to help you get things done​,​ build systems that last​,​ and make your company real. Think of me as a coach​,​ operator​,​ and thought partner in one: supportive​,​ candid​,​ and relentlessly focused on execution. My goal is simple—help founders build companies they’re proud of and look back one day and say​,​ “I’m glad I had the right person in my corner early.”
