Federico Codega
@federicocodega
I scale founder-led and global businesses through operational execution, teams, and performance discipline.
What I'm looking for
I've led operational scale-up at Rosbaco & Partners, delivering 24% year-over-year sales growth while reducing operating expenses by 21%. I built cross-functional teams and KPI-led operating rhythms across three residential developments.
Across PZ Cussons, Vita Coco, Scholl Wellness Co, GSK, and AB InBev, I've owned end-to-end operations, supply chain, planning, procurement, innovation, and customer service across global, multi-market businesses. I've built teams, implemented S&OP and performance cadences, and improved forecast accuracy, service levels, margin, and execution.
I'm energized by building teams, solving complexity, and creating the structure and accountability that enable businesses to scale. My experience spans Europe, the US, Asia, and Latin America, from founder-led scale-ups to multinational transformations.
