What is an “Operating Leader”?

While “Operating Leader” can be a broad term, we define them as individuals who oversee and manage the operations of a business or organization. While the CEO focuses on the vision and strategy, an Operating Leader ensures that all functions work efficiently and effectively to meet the company's goals and objectives. Operating leaders often prioritize optimizing processes, improving productivity, managing resources, and driving performance to achieve desired outcomes.

Operating Leaders often have titles like early stage Founder, COO / VP of Ops, Chief of Staff, General Manager, and BizOps Lead.

Supporting leaders at places like…

KJ Shah, COO of Kaizen Labs

“Working with Aarti for our BizOps search was a frictionless experience. Her process was meticulous and she spent critical time with our team to deeply understand our current needs and the attributes that we were looking for in a candidate. She was highly communicative and iterative throughout the search and we wholeheartedly recommend the experience.
Hands down, one of the most impactful hires we've made to date. He just gets it.”
Melissa Sandgren, Director at Airbnb

"Working with Aarti was a fantastic experience. Her compassionate approach, insightful questions and deep understanding not only helped me clarify my goals but also empowered me to take bold steps forward. The final outcome was much more in line with my future aspirations, and I’m deeply grateful for her support. I highly recommend her coaching to anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their life."
Vanessa Spasovski, VP of Operations at AgelessRx

“Since working with Aarti, I have identified and articulated my values, discovered what inspires and motivates me, reflected on my career journey so far, embraced positive affirmations, and implemented helpful leadership frameworks into my day-to-day. Aarti's coaching was personalized, genuine, empathetic, and purposeful. She often embraced being a coach, a consultant, and a mentor all within a single session, depending on my needs. Without that approach, I would not have been able to get this place of acceptance and eagerness to move forward with confidence as quickly as she empowered me to discover it.”
Grant Roscoe, CEO of Crescent

“Aarti was a delight to work with. She knows the industry well, is a fast communicator, and got the job done for a tough role in record time. Will be working with her again in the future.”
Ben Cabangun, Chief of Staff at SF Aids Foundation

"The Chief of Staff role is new to our company. Through my work with Aarti, I've gained the knowledge, skill, and confidence to articulate a scope that is most valuable to the organization and our CEO. In just 3 months, I was able to design an approach for a two-year strategic initiative that will advance my organization's executive culture, operations, and strategy, and most importantly--maximize our impact in the communities that we serve.”
