About Ellyn

With over 10 years of experience in management and operational direction, I support companies in the management, transformation, and optimization of their activities.

I have led teams of up to 30 people and managed portfolios worth up to tens of millions of euros in revenue, in demanding and structured environments.

I intervene primarily in 3 types of situations:

1. Performance Recovery
  • Decline in profitability
  • Team disorganization
  • Lack of oversight

=> Implementation of an operational action plan with rapid results

2. Structuring & Growth
  • Hypergrowth
  • Lack of processes
  • Teams growing too fast

=> Structuring roles, processes, and indicators

3. Operational Optimization
  • Margin improvement
  • Cost reduction
  • Productivity gains

=> Analysis + execution (not just consulting)

RESULTS

Some concrete impacts achieved:

+7% revenue
+25% production capacity
-12% operational costs
Management of teams up to 28 people
Management of business units up to €50M

My approach is pragmatic, results-oriented, and hands-on.

OFFERS

  • Operational Audit => Rapid analysis of your organization with a prioritized action plan.
  • Operations Director / Interim Management => Operational takeover to stabilize, structure, and perform.
  • Performance Optimization => Improvement of profitability, processes, and team efficiency.

MY WAY OF WORKING

Hands-on and operational approach
Business + human vision
Ability to act quickly in complex contexts
Strong culture of measurable results
