Operational advisory for founders
Ambition is there.
Making it happen takes work.
I help founders turn ambition into a company that actually works—with an aligned team, clear communication and accountability.
When the business needs a better way to work.
Bring the problem as it is. We’ll work out what needs to change—and make it practical.
Too many priorities. Not enough progress.
Clarify the direction, make the trade-offs and turn the important goals into work people can own.
Too much depends on you.
Clarify responsibilities and decision-making so the team can move without every question returning to the founder.
Communication isn’t turning into coordination.
Make expectations, handovers and decisions explicit, with a working rhythm that keeps people informed and accountable.
Good plans keep slipping.
Bring discipline to sales, marketing and product programmes: realistic commitments, visible progress and earlier decisions when things change.
Direction. Alignment. Execution.
Clear priorities, shared ownership and a working rhythm the team can sustain.
01
Direction
Decide what matters, what success looks like and what can wait.
02
Alignment
Agree who owns what, how decisions get made and how the team stays informed.
03
Execution
Put goals into a working rhythm: review progress, address blockers and follow through.
What founders value.
Harri is one of those advisors I keep going back to. He understands what it's like to bootstrap a business and what it's like to run a VC-backed business. He also has a keen eye for business models and how well they can meet customer needs.
Eyram AdjogatseCEO, Probatech Harri is open, friendly, and hugely knowledgeable — but even better than that, he cut through all the noise and got to the crux of our challenge. His suggestions were like a light going on; I literally started working on them the second the session finished.
