I'm Saher. I've done this from three seats.
As an early hire, as a founder and as an interim COO. 12 years in startups across marketing, sales and operations, which is why I look at the whole business rather than one team's part of it.
I joined Uber India's launch team at 19 rides a day and was still there at 1.2 million. I co-founded Traktion, a B2B talent marketplace, and sold it to IDX in 2023. As interim COO at Cloud Cycle, I set up the operations team and cut unit costs by 60% across three countries.
Now I work with businesses of every size, across the front of the business and the back: marketing, sales, customers, operations and the systems underneath them. I'm hands-on in the tools you already run, from HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Close and Pipedrive to payments, scheduling and finance. I build the systems myself rather than handing you a report, and I'll tell you when the problem isn't your funnel but your pricing, or what your customers cost to serve.
