Tibor D.

COO & Scale Specialist | Technical Operations | Exits & M&A

✅ 100% Job Success Score ✅ Expert-Vetted (Top 1% of Talent) 🔹 Scale: Scaled organizations from 2 to 60+ staff & 10M+ users 🔹 Exit: Orchestrated operations & due diligence for a successful acquisition 🔹 Growth: Led Operations for a $10M ARR B2C SaaS 🔹 Global: US-Caliber Executive operating from Europe (EST Overlap Available) 🔹 Tech-Native: Former Lead Software Engineer turned COO I bridge the gap between code and capital. I specialize in taking technical companies from operational chaos to scalable execution. Unlike generalist consultants, I have a deep engineering background, meaning I understand exactly why your product team is stalling and how to align them with your P&L goals. THE "NEARSHORE" ADVANTAGE: I operate from Europe (CET), which gives you US-executive quality at a highly efficient blended rate. I provide significant EST timezone overlap for meetings, while utilizing the quiet hours to execute deep work without interruption. WHO I HELP: Founders and Agencies in the $2M - $20M ARR range who are facing: Operational Bottlenecks: You can't scale because the founder is doing everything. Technical Debt: Your engineering process is slowing down sales/delivery. Profitability Issues: You need to restructure or offshore to lower burn rate. HOW I EXECUTE: I don’t just offer advice; I build the infrastructure. The Audit: Diagnosing your unit economics and organizational friction. The Fix: Implementing SOPs, Hiring Roadmaps, and Remote Team Architecture. The Exit/Scale: Preparing your data room and operations for due diligence or hyper-growth. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: COO at B2C SaaS: Managed 10M+ users and 60k paying customers through a successful exit (SimpleSite to One Group). Scale-Up: Grew a bootstrapped IT services firm from 2 to 60+ staff with 50% YoY growth. Turnaround: Reduced OPEX by ~30% for portfolio companies via nearshore restructuring. Let's schedule a brief call to see if your challenges match my expertise.
