Fractional COFO. Ex-GitStart. Based in Venice.

15 years in finance and operations — corporate, VC, startups — across four countries and four languages. I run finance, ops and people for early-stage companies on a fractional retainer, and parachute in for shorter sprints when something specific needs fixing.

Why a COFO?

CEO thinks CFO handles numbers. CFO thinks COO handles execution. COO thinks CFO handles runway. Nobody owns the bridge. Decisions take three meetings instead of one conversation.

These roles can't operate in silos. Most early-stage startups don't need a CFO and a COO — they need someone who does both.

How I work

Fractional retainer — one or two days a week, embedded as the operating brain of the company. Usually a few months to a year.

Ops / finance sprint — a defined block of work with a specific outcome. Cleaning up the books before a raise, designing comp bands, untangling a billing migration.

Easiest way to start a conversation: send a short email describing what's actually on fire.
