What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that leverages my operations expertise to drive business growth and team success.

As a seasoned operations expert with a strong background in leadership, I've had the privilege of driving strategic initiatives in various domains, including People Operations, Finance, Data Analytics, and Legal and Compliance. My experience as a member of the senior management team at Toggl has given me a unique understanding of what it takes to run a successful SaaS company, with a focus on balancing company growth and team well-being.

With a proven track record of introducing new tools and solutions to optimize business processes, I've developed a keen sense of innovation and automation. My expertise in Operations has allowed me to influence and contribute to the daily management of a tech company that has been a forerunner of remote work and an advocate of a company culture that most people could only dream of.

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work in various roles, from Operations Manager to Chief Operations Officer, and have gained invaluable experience in all aspects of running a tech company. I'm now looking to leverage my skills and expertise to take on new challenges and contribute to the success of a forward-thinking organization.
