GEAR UP
Your startup is growing — but operational gaps can derail your momentum fast.
Unlock operational clarity, team alignment, and investor-ready execution before chaos sets in — without hiring a full-time executive.
FIT CHECK
Early-stage momentum can quickly collapse without solid operational foundations. If you’re seeing any of these red flags, it’s time to act:
Operational inefficiencies slow execution.
Team misalignment leads to missed milestones.
Founders trapped in firefighting mode, not strategy.
Investor expectations outpace internal readiness.
OPERATOR
With 15+ years of academic and industrial experience in Germany across startups, B2B SaaS, and global enterprises, I help fast-growing startups move from firefighting to focused execution.
From agile transformations to Objective Key Results (OKR) implementation and org design, I turn strategic goals into measurable outcomes - fast. I hold a Ph.D. in Computational Engineering and certifications in Operation Management, AI & Change Leadership - enabling me to simplify complexity and drive execution across teams. As a TEDx speaker and German Innovation Award winner, I bring hands-on leadership, operational clarity and immediate impact to every engagement.
"I work with a select number of founders at a time to deliver deep operational transformations. Availability is limited to ensure personalized, high-impact leadership.
Let's build your startup’s future today — before scaling chaos sets in."
— Dr.-Ing. Joffrey Mabuma
CLARITY
As a founder, you juggle multiple responsibilities — leading your team, managing investors, and driving product development. But as your startup grows, new challenges emerge:
That’s where I come in. As a Fractional COO, I embed into your operations to streamline execution, build investor-ready systems, and help you focus on what matters most — growth.
EDGE
Startup success depends on execution — not just strategy. That’s where I come in. I don’t just advise; I join your team and turn plans into measurable results from day one.
With experience in both startups and corporates, I bring the best of both worlds: the agility of fast-growing teams and the structure of established organizations. This blend helps founders scale quickly — without losing control.
I’ve also worked between startups and large B2B clients, bridging lean execution with enterprise expectations. It’s how I help startups become investor-ready, scalable, and operationally sharp.
Fluent in English, German, and French, I support teams across DACH, France, and Benelux — founder-first, execution-driven, and built for sustainable growth.
