Executive COO/CEO with 15+ years building consulting and tech-enabled services, delivering P&L ownership and operating models.
What I'm looking for
I’m an executive leader with 15+ years of experience in consulting, FMCG, and technology-enabled professional services. I build companies and operations from scratch—designing end-to-end management systems (organizational structure, governance, KPI, and financial control)—and I hold full P&L responsibility across international, matrix environments.
Recently, I designed and implemented company-wide operating models, directed cross-functional operations, and drove execution discipline to sustainable financial performance, including a 20% monthly OPEX reduction. I’ve also launched a profitable SAP consulting and integration company from the ground up, led CRM/ERP implementations (SAP, Bitrix24), stabilized critical ERP execution (1C), and delivered executive/board-level reporting and governance to support strategic decision-making.
