What We Bring to the Table

StartOpsReady:
Startup Operational Leadership

Built on operational reality – not on frameworks

After decades in global leadership across the tech and semiconductor ecosystem — including VP-level responsibility, multi-billion euro purchasing volumes and organizational leadership of 100+ people — we now apply that experience where structure is urgently needed but rarely in place: in startups, scale-ups, and portfolio companies under pressure.

We’ve built and restructured supply chains, guided procurement through crises, optimized working capital and helped stabilize chaos.

Now, we provide hands-on, executive-level support across four operational pillars that matter most.

Our 4 operational pillars

which we bring to the table:

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 of international procurement teams with 100+ employees and multi billion euro purchasing responsibility. Able to step in, structure fast and hand over cleanly.
