À propos de Barbara
I help founders turn great ideas into scalable companies.
With 15+ years of experience across strategy, operations, and AI transformation, I act as a fractional COO and strategic partner for early and growth-stage startups.
From building operating models and team governance to shaping GTM strategies or preparing for fundraising, I bring structure, clarity, and execution discipline to help founders scale with confidence.
Previously early operator (#5) at an AI SaaS, I’ve seen what it takes to grow from seed to Series A — and I now help others do the same.
