Vetted Operations Managers in the Bay Area

“Operations leader with Apple and Roku experience who owned founder-level, cross-functional initiatives including Roku’s Brazil market entry (regulatory, tax/entity setup, manufacturing/logistics, and launch metrics) with direct CEO oversight. Built Roku’s International Business Operations function from zero—standardizing OKRs, dashboards, and country-level P&Ls—and influenced major strategic decisions like exiting a ~$10.5M-loss UK channel business and restructuring Mexico ads go-to-market via partnership.”

“Operator who has repeatedly stepped into founder-level, cross-functional ownership at startups—running full HR (recruiting, onboarding, benefits) with AI-driven process automation, and later serving as interim VP People & Culture during an executive transition. Also managed cap table, 409A, equity grants, and day-to-day investor relations, and built company-wide ELT goals/KPIs and operating rhythms tied to board-approved strategy.”

“Operations leader with Amazon experience owning a founder-level initiative during national supply chain Regionalization, building and scaling a "Stack-to-Light" operating mechanism to standardize non-sortable FC execution with instrumentation and balanced-scorecard metrics. Later joined Revivn to stabilize an underperforming operation by developing frontline leaders and aligning ops with finance and GTM through clear KPIs and operating cadence.”

“Operations/strategy leader who owned a founder-level turnaround at Bolt Threads, rescuing and scaling a failing business unit through ERP + S&OP implementation, operating model redesign, and cross-functional KPI-driven execution. Achieved a 97% COGS reduction, enabled repeatable production at scale, and supported investor diligence and SPAC readiness by creating a credible operating narrative.”

“Full-stack engineer with production experience shipping a healthcare-focused web app (Pregnancy-Pal) using Next.js/TypeScript on GCP, integrating a Python/Flask middleware and FHIR server for patient/practitioner dashboards and messaging. Former Wikimedia Foundation Android engineer who led the end-to-end 'Year in Review' feature and built robust automated testing/CI practices (Espresso, GitHub Actions matrix). Strong emphasis on reliability via rigorous validation, comprehensive Postman testing, and detailed API documentation.”

“Founder/operator who turned around an underperforming nightlife/hospitality venture by rebuilding the operating system end-to-end—SOPs, dashboards, staffing/onboarding, pricing/promotions, and weekly forecasting/reporting. Demonstrates strong zero-to-one and ambiguity-to-clarity execution with a metrics-driven operating cadence across GTM, finance, and people operations.”

“HR leader with ~20 years of experience focused on raising talent and performance standards through structured hiring (Bar Raiser veto panel), output-linked incentives, and rigorous operating cadences. Reports quantified impact including +21% revenue per head and 93% top-performer retention, and has built recruiting-to-revenue pipelines plus performance-gated onboarding/certification boot camps aligned with Finance and Sales.”

“Enterprise Customer Success professional with end-to-end ownership from onboarding through renewal, delivering strong measurable outcomes (35% adoption lift, 45% key feature usage lift, 95% CSAT, and 100% renewal). Experienced partnering cross-functionally with Product/Engineering/Sales to resolve integration issues and shaping roadmap via PRDs/user stories, with martech analytics/workflow expertise including Slack automation that improved lead engagement by 30%.”
