My Focus: CEO Operating System

OKRs
OPERATING MODEL
 ORG & CULTURE

What are the most important priorities in the context of your strategy?

OKRs & Org in place, but OM is ad hoc or non existent:

Death by meetings trying to align on everything with everyone

OKRs & OM in place but there are leadership gaps and / or confused reporting lines:

Unclear who is actually in charge and / or capable to deliver

CEO OPERATING SYSTEM™

How do you run & operate to maximize your time for high-output management?

Who are your trusted leaders that can execute your priorities well?

Org & OM in place, but OKRs are missing or managed badly:

Everybody is busy yet you aren't executing well on your strategy

About me

I have spent the last 10+ years in different capacities in the tech and startup ecosystem both in Silicon Valley and in Europe. Currently, I am working mostly with European seriesA+ CEOs, their Chief of Staff, and their leadership team as they start scaling their business.

  • Over a decade spent in Silicon Valley and London in leadership and Chief of Staff roles at Google, YouTube, and SoftBank

  • As Chief of Staff, I helped to scale the operations and the team from 4 people to 200+ at SoftBank's Vision Fund

  • At Google, I ran the OKR process for the Global Business Org, working for Google's first Chief of Staff, and learnt most of the best-in-class leadership and execution principles that I still apply to date

  • Qualified as a leadership coach (HBS) and as a transformational coach (Animas) as well as a facilitator for EverythingDisc and 5Behaviors

  • Co-founded a personality-profiling startup and have done pretty much every psychometric test on the planet :)

  • Currently on the advisory board of a few startups

  • A coach to Founders Forum / Tech Nation Future Fifty program for scaleups, and on the judging panel of Go:Tech and the Scale-Up Awards in the UK 

  • Summitted Mont Blanc, Mount Fuji and cycled some of the iconic Tour de France climbs and also from Paris to London in 3 days. 

  • Have lived in London, Budapest, NYC, LA, Paris, San Francisco and Crete before and still not sure where is next.

  • Despite being a certified coach, I still haven't figured this Life thing out, but keep experimenting :).
