Fractional CCO | Blockchain AI Community | Scaling Emerging Tech Communities | 3x Founder | Public Speaker | Business Mentor

I help tech leaders, executives, and organizations unlock their next level of impact by aligning emerging technology, culture, and community-driven innovation into scalable systems that thrive long-term.

With 10+ years of experience in emerging technologies, community-building, and cultural strategy, I’ve had the privilege of advising and collaborating with global innovators, from venture-backed startups to nation-building initiatives, including helping Tuvalu lay the groundwork for becoming the world’s first digital nation.

Specializations:
— Tech-Culture Integration: Aligning tools, technologies, and systems with organizational values, cultural integrity, and human-centered design.
— Community-Driven Innovation: Building sustainable ecosystems where technology empowers connection, collaboration, and growth.
— Scalable Solutions for Emerging Tech: Designing systems that retain their purpose and impact as they scale, with expertise in blockchain, AI, and Web3.

As the Managing Director of Faiā and a Fractional Chief Community Officer (CCO), I’ve partnered with startups, corporations, and governments to develop transformational solutions that bridge technology, culture, and community.

Additional Roles:
— Speaker & Writer: Sharing insights on the intersection of technology, culture, and ancient wisdom to inspire leaders to create meaningful impact and lasting legacies.
— Micropreneur Advocate: Championing small, agile teams and lean business models—especially in this AI-driven era—to help businesses thrive efficiently.

Whether you’re navigating growth challenges, integrating emerging technologies, or scaling community-driven initiatives, I bring practical strategies, cultural depth, and a systems-focused approach to every project.

Let’s connect if you’re a visionary leader ready to align technology with purpose, culture, and long-term scalability.

Founder, Fractionals United® | Operations Optimizer | RightSized systems for work & life

Are you a founder who spends more time managing operations than moving your vision forward?

You don’t have to choose between running your company and building what inspired you to start it.

I’m Karina. My background is in fractional COO work and workflow and operations optimization, designing RightSized systems for work and life—structures that fit your stage, your team, and how you actually want to work. My approach blends operational strategy with an intentionally async, human-first mindset, so growth stays sustainable instead of overwhelming.

Today, I’m the founder of Fractionals United, the largest global community for fractional leaders. The community is built around the same systems thinking I’ve applied for years: clarity over chaos, leverage over busyness, and systems that support people—not the other way around.

Where I focus my direct work:
* Optimize Hour sessions — targeted, high-leverage problem solving for founders and CEOs
* Advisory services — ongoing support for leaders designing calmer, more sustainable operating models
* Workflow consulting and fractional engagements — selective availability only
