About Nate

I help companies fix what's broken in operations - from contractor workflows to manufacturing launch.

With 10+ years across IT outstaffing and defence manufacturing (ballistic protection, NIJ/STANAG certification, production launch from zero), I bring a rare combination: systems thinking, hands-on execution, and real combat-feedback loops.

Based in the Netherlands. Working across EU defence SMEs, IT companies managing Eastern European teams, and manufacturers entering the European market.

What I do:
— Operational audits & root cause analysis
— Contractor & EoR process design
— Manufacturing launch advisory (incl. ballistic protection)
— Fractional COO for scaling teams
