Yuri is a strategic operator and systems builder who turns ambitious visions into scalable execution for CEOs, founders, and growing teams.
With expertise across operations, systems, automation, client lifecycles, financial analysis, and data, she builds smarter ways of working that save time, improve efficiency, and power sustainable growth.
What I Specialize In
Streamline Business Operations
Bring organization to the back-end of your world so everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
Automations & Workflow Design
Simplify your workflow with automations that save you time, free your mind, and amplify your impact.
Vision-to-Execution Systems
Transform creative vision into clear, actionable structure that make ideas real and results measurable.
Imagine how much more time and capacity you would have if you had the optimal operational structure for your business?
I believe the way you operate can either limit growth, or unlock it.
I started my career at PwC where becoming a CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant) taught me to understand how complex businesses work: the processes, gaps, and opportunities. Since then, I’ve spent 6+ years applying that analytical foundation to growing businesses, building the operational structure behind ambitious ideas.
I’ve learned that growth rarely comes from doing more. It comes from understanding blind spots, and building smarter ways of working.
That’s where I come in, and music is where I want to apply it.
My mission is to unlock the operational potential behind music projects by designing custom systems, automations, and workflows that support big visions and amplify impact.
Whether you’re leading music projects, managing artists, tours, or leading a creative team, I will turn operational complexity into opportunities for long-term growth, so you can stay focused on what matters most: the music.
You focus on the what. I’ll optimize the how.

Case Study: Powerhouse DJ School (PhDJ)
The Challenge
When I joined PhDJ as a student in the first cohort, the program was visionary but it was running without any real systems or infrastructure needed to support that vision.
With 30 students, two calls per week for 8 months, and countless moving parts, the back-end was messy, inefficient, and very manual. I could see the potential was huge, and there was an incredible opportunity to use my skills to revolutionise how PhDJ operated. So I created a proposal and pitched myself to the founder with a clear vision of how I could completely uplevel the back-end of PhDJ.
And that’s how I went from being a student to PhDJ’s first hire before I graduated.
Powerhouse DJ School (PhDJ) is a global education program with a one-of-a-kind approach to building unforgettable dancefloors. Led by international DJ, Tasha Blank, their 8 month program transforms emerging leaders into DJs who create dance floors that connect, rewire our nervous system, and reimagine how we move together.
It's 100% way more than just a DJ school.
The Results
Four years and 150 graduates from 23 countries later, we are enrolling our 5th cohort with our last being the largest enrollment and revenue numbers to date. Check out our global growing community of DJ alumni rocking dancefloors all over the world.
Key Systems I Created
-
Streamlined 600+ DJ applications into a centralized, easy-to-navigate system that tracked progress, contact history, and enrollment status, saving hours, reducing manual work, and keeping every applicant organized from start to finish.
-
Built a dynamic master tracker that auto-updates when new students are accepted and feeds four other systems — keeping data synced across finance, coaching, skills assessments, and logistics.
-
Connected the budget directly to enrollment so every new student instantly updates projected revenue and proportional coach payouts. Created automated subscription tracking to show live spend vs. budget for a real-time financial snapshot.
-
Created a structured system for 54 students and 10 leadership members to track weekly mix submissions, feedback pairings, and a student progress bringing flow and structure to one of the program’s most important and interactive components.
-
Built a centralized scheduling system powered by one data source that auto-updates both team and student calendars with filtered, relevant details, removing the need for duplicate updates and ensuring accurate, up-to-date information.

"Working with Yuri is a delight. She is extremely resourceful. I would give a problem to Yuri and she will find a solution that was beyond my expectations. She would work on different projects — from developing internal processes to creating programs in Kajabi to project managing a new book —and bring the same level of professionalism and dedication to all. But what I’m most grateful about Yuri, is the sense of support that she gave me. As a small business, trusting that your team truly has your back makes a huge difference. Anyone will be lucky to work with Yuri!"
