A Step Towards Growth

Partnering through Growth, Complexity, and Transition

Anchor 1

Our Approach - Where We Add Value

1

Growth Inflection & Scale

When companies have momentum, but clarity around what’s truly working — and how to scale it — starts to blur. This often involves:

Re-examining product–market fit as the organisation grows

Aligning product, GTM, and operating priorities

Moving from founder-led execution to repeatable scale

Helping leadership teams convert traction into operating clarity.

2

Operational Complexity

When execution spans markets, channels, teams, or systems, and operating complexity starts to outpace structure. Focus areas include:

Reviewing funnels and operating processes to identify constraints

E-commerce and platform models (supply, fulfilment, GTM)

Entering new markets without duplicating teams or breaking unit economics (e.g. EU or UK expansion)

3

Transition Moments

When context shifts faster than the organisation’s structure or leadership capacity. This typically includes:

Post-acquisition integration and operating reset

Pre-Series B, growth equity, or exit preparation

Interim or fractional operating leadership during change

Stepping in where decision velocity drops and execution risk rises

How We Engage

Engagements typically take the form of operating partner, board advisory, or fractional executive roles. These are selective, part-time, and structured around outcomes.

Where relevant, e-commerce operations are supported through affiliated service companies and a trusted network of partners. Mentorship for early-stage founders is provided selectively, with a focus on product, strategy, and operating discipline.

Feedback on Collaboration

Operating & Go-To-Market Leadership

Tolga was a critical strategic partner for us in one of the hardest markets in the world: cybersecurity and MSP-driven enterprise sales. He helped sharpen our positioning, design a realistic go-to-market strategy, and translate complex automation and security capabilities into something enterprises could understand and buy. His combination of product, enterprise sales, and operational depth is rare, and it made a measurable difference to our business.
