Brittany Rastsmith
Early-Stage Founder Remote Ops Expert | Remove Bottlenecks, Unlock Growth
Brittany was a huge help when I was hiring my first few team members. She made the whole process way less overwhelming and helped me set things up so the people I brought on would actually perform and not just bounce. Super easy to talk to .. felt like she really got what I was dealing with.
The session with Brittany was amazing. She got straight to the point, gave me clear and actionable steps to work on, and made me reflect on the importance of having clear metrics for remote work. I highly recommend booking a session with her.
Our session with Brittany was awesome. She gave me the exact advise I needed to hear. It changed my perspective and I think what I got out of this call will completely turn my business around. Also, she came prepared by reading all my notes, checking our website, etc. She's very nice and I truly enjoyed the session.

Expertise
Building a team
I help early-stage founders build lean, high-performing remote teams from the ground up. I specialize in designing scalable hiring and onboarding systems, defining clear roles and responsibilities, and building team structures that grow with the business - without creating chaos.
Operations
I specialize in diagnosing and fixing operational chaos in early-stage startups. From broken workflows to unclear accountability, I design and implement systems that streamline execution, support team focus, and lay the foundation for sustainable growth - without adding unnecessary complexity.
Remote work
I’ve spent over 15 years working remotely across leadership roles in operations, training, and consulting. I specialize in building systems that solve the real problems remote teams face - like async overload, poor onboarding, and lack of accountability. I help founders scale without remote work turning into a mess.
Toolkit

Loom
7 years of experienceI use Loom to deliver clear, actionable feedback and step-by-step instructions that teammates can absorb on their own time. It’s a powerful async tool for remote teams - making communication more human, reducing back-and-forth, and speeding up onboarding, reviews, and process training.
Asana
9 years of experienceI’ve implemented Asana to manage projects, workflows, and team communication for several remote teams. I use it to create clarity around priorities, deadlines, and responsibilities - transforming scattered task lists into structured, repeatable systems that keep teams aligned and moving.

ChatGPT
4 years of experienceI use ChatGPT as a strategic tool to streamline operations, create documentation, draft training materials, and accelerate problem-solving. It’s a powerful assistant when paired with clear systems thinking—helping me (and my clients) get more done in less time without sacrificing quality.
Zapier
10 years of experienceI use Zapier to automate tested processes so startups can scale without adding headcount or complexity. From lead handoffs to onboarding workflows, I identify automations that eliminate manual steps, reduce errors, and free up teams to focus on high-value work.
