What We Bring to the Table

StartOpsReady:
Startup Operational Leadership

Built on operational reality – not on frameworks

Built on decades of global leadership experience across the tech and semiconductor ecosystem — including VP-level responsibility, multi-billion-euro purchasing volumes, and large-scale organizational leadership — this work is now applied where structure is urgently needed but rarely in place: in startups, scale-ups, and portfolio companies under pressure.

Experience spans building and restructuring supply chains, navigating procurement through crisis situations, optimizing working capital, and stabilising complex operational environments.

This work focuses on hands-on, executive-level support across four operational pillars that matter most.

The 4 operational pillars

Startup operational leadership in supply and sourcing strategy – expedition team organizing supplies by a mountain lake, symbolizing resilient global supplier networks

Supply & Sourcing Strategy:

Over two decades of experience designing global supplier networks across complex industries — balancing cost, availability and scalability from early-stage product to mature volume.

Interim CPO / COO Support:

Hands-on leadership in international procurement environments, with the ability to step in quickly, create structure, and ensure a clean handover.

Ramp-up & Shortage Management:

Cash & Cost Discipline:

Deep expertise in aligning procurement with liquidity goals — optimizing working capital, inventory turns and sourcing strategies under pressure.
