Operational Execution for Industrial & Deep-Tech Companies

COO at Atalian, leading large-scale operations. Former COO at Verne, scaling operations in autonomous mobility. Ex-Rimac — led production of the first Nevera vehicles.

We help companies stabilise operations, scale production and execute growth under pressure. Available for select engagements.

WHO THIS IS FOR

We work with companies where operations, growth and strategy need to align — and usually don’t.

Typical situations:

  • production and delivery under pressure
  • supply chain instability
  • lack of structure and ownership
  • growth opportunities that cannot be executed operationally

Typical clients:

  • industrial companies
  • deep-tech and hardware startups
  • private equity portfolios

WHAT WE DO

1. Operational Diagnostic
Rapid, reality-based assessment of production, supply chain and organisation.
 
2. Transformation Execution
Hands-on leadership to stabilise operations and fix structural issues.
 
3. Scale-Up Operations
Building systems that support growth without losing control over cost and quality.
 
4. Strategic Partnerships & Growth
Supporting expansion through partnerships, investor alignment and execution.
