About Vashti

A startup... in this economy?! Don't panic, I can help you stretch your funding, extend your runway and keep you from making the sames mistakes I've seen dozens of startups make. Hi, I help startups build operational systems that scale—without sacrificing their mission (or run out of money).

10+ years optimizing operations for retail, ecommerce, and tech companies.
I've managed P&L for $8M+ companies, led 40-person teams, and delivered $500K+ in cost savings through process optimization—proving that sustainability and operational excellence aren't trade-offs.

Why companies work with me I bring the operational rigor of traditional business practices with a deep understanding of circular business models. I know how to optimize reverse logistics, minimize waste, extend runways, and build systems that will scale WITH your company.

Key wins Reduced inventory shrinkage from 15% to 1% (minimizing waste). Managed 4,000+ SKUs across 5 locations with 90%+ delivery performance (efficiency = lower carbon footprint). Extended operational runway by 4 months through strategic resource optimization. Built operational infrastructure from scratch for a Paris-based circular economy startup.

My unique advantage I've worked across the full lifecycle—startup agility (building systems from zero) and established operations (optimizing legacy systems).

Currently offering
Daily rate consulting and fractional operations support for early-stage startups globally—particularly those in retail, ecommerce, and tech.

2 week implementation consulting pacakge for Salesforce, Asana, Monday or Jira

Based in Paris. Trilingual: English, Spanish, French (B1).
