Fractional COO | Structuring operations & driving performance for scale-ups | Ex-McKinsey

About Me

Operations leader and former McKinsey consultant with a strong track record in structuring and scaling high-growth organizations. I specialize in operational excellence, data-driven performance management, and cross-functional execution. I’ve held executive roles in scale-ups and mid-sized companies, leading end-to-end operations, building teams, designing scalable processes, and implementing KPIs to drive growth and profitability. My background combines hands-on COO experience with a strong strategic foundation from McKinsey. I thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution, particularly in complex environments across health, retail, logistics, and fintech.
