Description

Founders and CEOs bring me in when their operations can't keep up with their growth. Over 12 years across marketplaces, fintech, and cross-border e-commerce at Cdiscount, Octopia, Anka, and ComAve I have built the operational foundations that let companies scale without breaking: processes, governance, team structures, payment flows, and compliance frameworks across Europe and Africa.

My specialty is turning chaotic or undefined environments into clean, scalable systems and fast. I work hands-on alongside leadership, align cross-functional teams, and deliver measurable results within weeks, not quarters.

If you are scaling a marketplace, launching in a new market, or your ops are holding back your growth, let's talk.

What I deliver ?

Build and Scale Operations

I set up the operational backbone companies need to grow: processes, workflows, SOPs, governance, and team structures from scratch or from chaos. I have done this across marketplaces, fintech platforms, and cross-border e-commerce, including payment flows, KYB/KYC, AML, and compliance frameworks (VAT, IOSS, EORI, DAC7)

Lead and Structure Teams

I build and manage Ops, Support, and cross-functional teams that actually perform. That means clear roles, rituals, KPIs, and managers who deliver , not just org charts

Run Complex Projects

Multi-country rollouts, system integrations (Stripe, DHL, Mirakl, Octopia), process automation, partner onboarding, I own execution end to end and make sure it sticks.

Chief of Staff / Fractional COO

I work alongside founders and C-levels to turn strategic priorities into operational reality: OKRs, governance, board materials, and the day-to-day decisions that keep the company moving.
