TRANSFORMATION & OPERATIONS
Bottom-line value for companies and investors through transformation
About me
I am Luisa Walz, an expert in operational business transformations. My focus is on optimizing and redesigning operational structures, in particular organizational models, roles and responsibilities, as well as core operational processes. The objective of my work is to deliver measurable revenue and cost impact for companies and their investors.
Through my work in top-tier strategy consultancies, venture building, and operational leadership roles, I have built a broad and hands-on experience base, which I apply selectively in my client engagements. I combine analytical, data-driven approaches with pragmatic, people-centered execution.
My work ethics
Strong bottom-line focus
If it doesn't show up in the numbers, is it really there? My work translates into measurable outcomes — from revenue and cost to liquidity and efficiency ratios.
Highly people-centric
Creating impact requires people to move with the change. I bring positive momentum to the process, making collaboration human-centric and genuinely enjoyable.
Rapid hands-on execution
I lead hands-on execution alongside leadership teams and employees, ensuring change is effectively implemented and sustained in day-to-day operations.
My background
Founded company with focus on the DACH region and registered services in Switzerland and Germany.
Years of experience in strategy, venture, and transformation projects, supported by degrees in Finance and Innovation.
Projects completed resulting in a strong network of partners, mentors, investors, C-level members and founders.
Bottom-line value created through targeted scale-up process improvement and transformation measures.
Challenges I address
I work with organizations and investors at different stages, each facing unique operational challenges that require tailored solutions.
Start-up to scale-up
Building the foundation
Growing companies often lack the structures needed to scale: clear roles, responsibilities, information flows, and operational processes. I help establish the backbone that enables sustainable growth.
Established enterprises
Challenging & modernizing the status quo
Larger organizations with an existing governance and processes benefit from challenging the status quo and improving their ways of operating. I update legacy structures to improve efficiency.
PE & VCs
Identifying value creation levers
I support investors in identifying value creation potential across their portfolio companies and in executing targeted transformation initiatives that unlock key levers for measurable bottom-line impact.
Types of mandates
Depending on my clients’ needs, I offer different engagement models — from embedded leadership to focused project work or strategic advisory.
