Operations shouldn’t be the thing slowing your business down.

I integrate into growing businesses as a fractional operations leader—building systems, managing execution, and ensuring operations run smoothly as you scale.

Who Am I?

Hi, I’m Vashti — Your Fractional Operations Partner.

I help businesses get their operations under control so founders can focus on what they actually love doing.

Most recently, I led operations for a venture-backed beauty brand; helping take it from early startup growing pains to global retail across the US, UK, and Canada.

I’ve also run my own e-commerce business, so I know firsthand what it’s like to juggle everything yourself.

Over the past 15+ years, working across financial services, development banking, and entrepreneurship, I’ve seen how quickly things can get messy as a business grows.

I help turn that complexity into simple, reliable systems that support the next stage of growth.

My superpower? Taking complicated back-end operations and turning them into clear, practical processes that actually work.

Vashti Patrick-Joseph, embedded operations partner helping growing brands manage systems and supply chain.

Is this You?

Fractional operations support is for you if:

✓ You’re managing inventory, vendors, and logistics yourself
✓ Orders are increasing but your systems aren’t keeping up
✓ Your processes live in your head instead of documentation
✓ Your team constantly asks you how things should work
✓ You’re growing, but the backend of the business feels chaotic
✓ Not ready to hire full-time but need expert help
✓ You need hands on execution not just strategy

I work with:

  • Beauty, wellness & lifestyle brands (indie, emerging, mission-driven)

  • E-commerce businesses selling physical products

  • Service businesses with retail or product components (salons, studios, spas)

What I Do

Most growing businesses hit a point where things just get messy. Too many moving parts. Not enough systems. And you're doing way too much yourself.

You know you need help, but a full-time hire isn’t in the budget.

That's where I come in.

I work part-time alongside your team, giving you operational expertise without the full-time cost.

Here's the difference: I don't just give advice. I do the actual work—building systems, training teams, coordinating vendors, managing projects.

Think of me as your part-time Head of Ops who rolls up their sleeves to tackle the messy, unglamorous, behind-the-scenes work that makes everything else possible.

If operations are holding you back (or just giving you a headache), let's talk.

How We Work Together

  • One-time deep dive into your current operations. I'll review your systems, processes, workflows, then give you a roadmap of what's working, what's broken, and what to prioritize first.

    Best for: Businesses that need clarity before committing to ongoing support.

  • Ongoing operational support and execution. I become your part-time Head of Ops (10-20 hours/week), working alongside your team to implement systems, fix problems, and handle day-to-day execution.

    Best for: Businesses that need consistent leadership and hands-on help.

  • Fixed-scope work for specific initiatives such as inventory system implementation & rollout, eCommerce website setup, retail readiness prep, or operational clean-up before a big launch.

    Best for: Businesses with a clear problem to solve.

My goal is simple: to give you the operational breathing room you need to focus on the big picture, while I handle the back end.
