Über Bernardita

I help early-stage startups and recently funded teams turn ideas into structured execution.

As a Startup Operator, Project & Program Manager, I support founders in building the processes, systems, and teams they need to scale. I work hands-on to bring clarity, structure, and momentum in fast-moving environments.

I typically support startups with:
• Structuring and improving operations, workflows, and internal processes
• Leading projects and cross-functional initiatives from idea to execution
• Hiring and building early-stage teams, improving recruitment processes and onboarding
• Designing and running programs, events, and community initiatives
• Coordinating teams, stakeholders, and external partners
• Supporting partnerships and ecosystem connections

With experience across startups and international teams, I’m used to navigating ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and making things happen quickly and effectively.

If you are building, hiring, or scaling - I can help you move forward with structure and execution.
