Leon Welters

I am a positive-minded and experienced problem solver. I help companies by taking full ownership of one or a few of the biggest concerns and thereby help senior leadership to be able to focus on what really matters. In the 10+ years leading operations in multiple tech companies, I’ve learned that success starts with strong foundations. By identifying key operational challenges, testing solutions, and automating core processes, I help companies eliminate manual bottlenecks and implement smart automation systems, so you can scale without operational chaos.

What I deliver:

International expansion

I have led the expansion into new markets for three different businesses. I therefore have key knowledge of operational complexities, but also of the areas for quick wins when your business is looking to take the next step into a new market. Markets I've worked on are Benelux, Germany, Italy, Spain, North America, South America, Australia.

Process Optimisation & Automation

I identify manual bottlenecks that slow growth and implement smart automation systems that scale. My approach: map the current process, test improvements quickly, measure impact, then automate core processes to free your team from repetitive work. I've helped companies reduce operational costs by 10-30% while improving efficiency.

Lean Team Building & Leadership

Over 10+ years, I've recruited and led operations teams ranging from 2 to 25 FTEs. I believe in building lean, high-performing teams where every team member's strength is optimally used. I've developed frameworks for team optimisation that ensure you're never over-resourced or under-performing.

What challenges is your business currently facing? Let me help you solve them and lay the foundations for stable and sustainable growth..
