About Csilla von Csiky

Is your company wrestling with talent, structure, tasks, or technology? Or all four? If organizational, operational or human capital gaps are slowing your daily execution and blocking your path to scale, I can help. As a hands-on fractional COO I partner with and provide critical operational leadership for small, early-stage or scaling companies, stepping into the organizational gaps that most often exist before full-time hires are in place. I blend strategic thinking with tactical execution — bridging consulting, execution, administration, and cross-functional ownership to keep operations aligned, efficient, and forward-moving. What I Bring: Founder Support – Strategic thought partnership: filtering priorities, translating vision into action, and freeing up founder bandwidth. Operational Infrastructure – Create and implement internal systems (e.g, project management tools, knowledge bases, SOPs) to support scale. HR Administration – Recruitment coordination, onboarding/offboarding, payroll, policy documentation, contractor agreements, and benefits/vendor management. Finance Liaison – Liaise with external accountants and bookkeepers; oversee proper expense classification, budget tracking, and light financial reporting support. Vendor Management – Source, vet, negotiate and manage third-party providers across tools, services, and consulting. Cross-Functional Execution – Take ownership of “orphan” functions (e.g, compliance, legal admin, IT, facilities)- until it\'s time to hire. Team Enablement – Ensuring teams have the tools, structure, and workflows they need to operate efficiently, while reducing founder overhead. My Approach: I specialize in uncovering inefficiencies and aligning people, processes, and platforms for operational clarity. With a global perspective gained from living and working abroad, I bring cultural fluency, conflict resolution skills, and change management expertise to fast-moving, diverse environments. As a certified executive and team coach, I’m equally invested in human development—helping individuals grow in sync with company goals. 🧭 Certifications & Training *ICF-Certified Professional Coach (iPEC)*Corentus Team Coaching Core Program Available for remote, Boston, or NYC-based fractional COO / CHRO roles and contract engagements.
