Co-Founder

Teemyco

Started out setting up the affiliate and partnership programme — then, as tends to happen in startups, ended up jumping in wherever help was needed. From growth experiments to pricing models to customer conversations, I pitched in across the board.

Lately, I’ve been focused on shaping the product and go-to-market strategy for Teemyco’s AI meeting assistant — making sure it’s solving real problems (not just generating more transcripts no one reads).

Basically: early-stage chaos, structured into momentum.

Played translator between product, users, and partners — and kept things moving while the market caught up.

🌏 Remote Operations - Remote workflows 💻 - Fractional CXO 🚀- Customer obsessed/mad about remote & FOW - leadership

I’m a generalist — not the fluffy kind, the useful kind.

Over the years I’ve scaled SaaS platforms, built agency systems, run AI product demos, sold six-figure deals, and helped refugee developers land real work. I don’t sit still — I jump in where things need structure, traction, or a reality check.

I helped scale Wurkr from 0 to 50,000 users and $1.2M raised. At Teemyco, I built early partnerships and now help shape an AI meeting assistant people might actually use. At Secret Source, I rebuilt the GTM strategy and pricing model. At Na’amal Agency, I spend a couple of days a week building out delivery systems with refugee tech talent.

What I’m best at: joining the dots, simplifying what’s overcomplicated, and nudging teams from “we should do this” to “we did it, and it worked.”

Specialisms:
Sales & Partnerships | AI & SaaS Adoption | Product-Led Growth | CX & Retention | Delivery Systems | Agency Ops | Remote Teams | Messy Middles

Third Thursday: Who Am I (Part 3 — Things My Bosses Have Actually Said To Me)

The last two months I’ve shared questions people have asked me. This month, I’m sharing things my bosses have actually said to me.

These are the experiences that shaped not just my career but my calling.  They’re the reason I describe my work as 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘳, 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩-𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘵.

They’re also why I spend so much time climbing uphill to find the right clients because selling human-centered work is harder than selling widgets, software, or certifications.

Here are a few of those moments:
🗣️ 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰. 𝘖𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺, 𝘴𝘰 𝘐 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸." (Translation: results matter, people don’t.)
🗣️ 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘊𝘝 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦.
 — said while my boss was telling senior leadership that I was leading a team (of men), creating new work, and driving revenue. He also told them if I left, I’d “take my brain with me.” They didn’t give me the raise. He helped me find another job. They lost the contract.
🗣️ 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯… (looks at me) 𝘖𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺. (said by the 2nd highest ranking person in the department)
Me: 𝘕𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵.
🗣️ 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘫𝘰𝘣 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘦, 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵.
 I gave my notice. I was clearly not qualified.
🗣️ 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘳. 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘴.
 At the time, I was the 2nd highest ranking person in the division, answering ~300 emails before 8 AM across 10 time zones so my teams could get what they needed. (and the person who complained about my lack of flowery language wasn't even a recipient of my messages)
🗣️ 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤. 𝘚𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦.
 I had pointed out that mission-critical reports were late. I was in the middle of my own three-year divorce battle — my boss didn’t even know I was married.

These aren’t stories of bitterness. They’re stories of clarity. They remind me why I do what I do:
💗 Because work should never require people to sacrifice dignity for a paycheck.
💗 Because leadership must be both human and effective.
💗 Because cultures can be kind and high-performing.
That’s who I am.
That’s why I climb uphill 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲.

This time of year can feel rushed.
Everyone is trying to finish things, wrap up things, plan things, decide things.
So I built something that makes this simpler.

The Finish Strong Series is three small tools designed for teams who want to end the year clear and start the next one steady.

There are three options depending on what your team needs right now:
💡 A quick read on how the team is doing
💡 A guided reflection to close the year cleanly
💡 A short goal-setting reset to start 2026 aligned

If you want the walkthrough, I recorded a short video explaining each one.

Hi, I’m Indra — organizational strategist and culture transformation catalyst.
I help global teams turn friction into flow, align strategy with humanity, and make change that actually sticks.
🌍 Now partnering for 2026 transformation and leadership programs.
🗓️ Book a call to discuss your strategy. Link in my profile.

Do you have support? An accountability partner? An advocate? Or someone to kick your butt when you aren't on task?

We have been doing this every week for several months now and TBH it has really gotten me more focused on my intentions and on sales.

Masha Gaganova is a great person to have in my corner and you need a Masha too!

One success habit you’re probably not using 
(but you will after this).  
For the last 4 months I have been doing this one thing every Monday and it completely change my weeks.

✅ I got more clients.
✅ I got more speaking gigs.
✅ I got sh$$t done.

Please see my very real, not AI generated, co-working partner, Indra A. Books from AFA!

We have a call every Monday morning. There is no set agenda, we get on a call and talk through our plans for the week, hesitations, concerns, ideas, challenges. 
And we coach each other, or even mentor each other and we build things together. 

It was one of the very successful experiments I shared on my webinar about building resilient and sustainable carriers. 

🌀 Peer support 🌀 

Say, you are a marketing manager, or a project manager, why not find someone who has a similar role in a different company or different industry?

It has to be someone outside of your immediate organisation, so that they bring fresh perspective and you create a super safe space for both of you to share, grow and experiment.
Honestly, I wish I have done it 15 years ago.

And yes, we are going to go a "Team future-spective" as well: it's important to reflect on our co-working relationship and decide what are we taking into 2026 with us.

In the meantime, if you guys need leadership support but have not yet met this peer, feel free to give our Chief Clarity Officer a go. He's been known to coach well, not jump to conclusions, give concrete answers and offer further resources should you wish to go deeper.

Now, what productivity hack have you found that I should be trying next?
