Mathieu G.

Chief Operating Officer (COO) | Operations Manager | Project Manager

Are you looking for someone to bring structure and clarity - and run operations - so you can focus on being CEO? Are you looking for someone to manage and improve your operations? Do you need someone to handle pressing projects or support your daily priorities? I am a COO with 15+ years of experience bridging the gap between vision and execution. I specialise in resolving scaling friction for founders by implementing the structures, clarity, and accountability needed to move from a "startup" mindset to a high-performance engine. Proven track record across 30+ projects in defining clear ownership, building SOP playbooks, and establishing real-time KPI visibility. I own the "How" of daily operations so leadership can reclaim their time to focus on the "Why" of strategy and growth. Examples of recent projects: Operational Turnaround: Restored profitability for a US-based firm by implementing cost discipline, margin management, and a new governance structure. Structure and Clarity: Established roles, roadmaps, and communication protocols for a French startup; increased team output by ~3x in two weeks by eliminating duplicate work and improving accountability. Operational Oversight: Owned end-to-end Finance, Sales, and Reporting processes (incl. Governance and KPIs), ensuring executive visibility and 100% accountability across remote teams. Core Competencies: Clarity & Structure: Defining roles, roadmaps, and SOP playbooks to eliminate scaling friction and ensure every team member understands their priorities. Execution & Visibility: Managing daily operations and accountability through OKR implementation, team syncs, and "single source of truth" dashboards (Asana/ClickUp) for real-time KPI tracking. Strategy & Growth: Leading business model innovation, rigorous P&L management, and venture architecture to secure long-term profitability and scalability.
