Building the foundation
Start-up to scale-up
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.
My approach
I work closely with leadership teams to establish scalable structures without sacrificing the agility that makes start- and scale-ups successful. This includes defining clear roles and responsibilities, building efficient operational processes, and implementing effective communication structures that grow with the company.
Typical outcomes
Companies I work with typically achieve faster decision-making, reduced operational friction, and sustainable growth patterns. Teams gain clarity on priorities and accountability, enabling them to focus on what matters most.
Example project
Enterprise-wide process scaling for a German ~€20m revenue scale-up
Designed and implemented company-wide structures and core processes as Interim Head of Transformation Office at a German scale-up. Defined roles, responsibilities, and workflows, and standardized key onboarding and product development processes to operationally support further scaling, enabling the hiring of around 50 new employees and reducing the overhead cost ratio by 0.5 percentage points.
