THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

Leadership grounded in execution.

COO | VP Operations | Enterprise Transformation

Approved illustrative portrait of Max Ottesen

Clarity. Accountability. Follow-through.

I build operating organizations by understanding where the work stalls, defining responsibilities and helping leaders carry decisions through to delivery.

At IP Security / IP Agency, I helped build an organization from startup to approximately 250 employees, establishing management structure, staffing, training and financial controls. Leadership included one director and five managers.

Across larger distributed operations, the same principles apply: listen to the frontline, make the measures useful and give unresolved constraints an owner.
