Carl C.
Fractional Ops Architect | Ex-Mailchimp & Ex-Zapier Expert
I am a Fractional Ops Architect. For 13+ years, I've been in the engine rooms of high-growth tech companies. I was employee #80 at Mailchimp, where I helped build the internal ops and systems that scaled the company from 80 to 1,500+ employees and a $12 billion exit. I have also run partner operations at Zapier and Webflow, specializing in API and data pipeline architecture. I have built ops processes that have scaled to manage millions in revenue at billion-dollar companies. Now, I use that experience to help founders and ops leaders solve their scaling bottlenecks. My specialty is building the "Ops Backbone" — the automated systems and data infrastructure that allows a company to scale without breaking. I diagnose your operational chaos (manual tasks, broken workflows, data silos) and replace it with a clear, automated foundation. My work is not about one-off task fixes. It is a strategic partnership to build the systems that give you, your team, and your company leverage. If you are a leader at a high-growth company drowning in ops chaos, let's talk.
