About Jarrod Scuglik

I\'m an operator and builder who thrives on scaling early-stage companies into disciplined, high-performing organizations. My approach combines strategic vision with hands-on execution—whether it\'s launching new markets, building teams, or driving operational excellence across finance, people, and product.At BforeAI, I joined as part of the founding U.S. team and led the transition from France to the U.S, scaling operations, headcount, and revenue in under a year. I helped grow ARR 5x, expanded the team from 30 to 80+, and raised $25M across two rounds to support our growth.Previously, I was part of the founding operating team at Newlab as the COO and CFO, where I helped scale the business from the ground up—growing annual revenue to $25M+, expanding across three continents, and raising over $100M in capital. I built and led the teams responsible for finance, HR, IT, and facilities, launched new business lines, and designed the company’s data-driven performance framework to drive execution and accountability.I started my career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan, advising on more than $9B in equity transactions. That foundation gave me the rigor and pattern recognition I now apply to operational problem-solving and strategic decision-making.I’ve also built businesses from scratch—co-founding two boutique fitness studios—and I continue to advise early-stage founders as they navigate the challenges of growth.If you\'re looking for an operator who can lead through ambiguity, scale with intention, and drive results across the business, feel free to reach out: j••••••••@gmail.com.Skills- Financial Strategy- Operational Excellence- Fundraising- Investment Banking- Business Development- Community Engagement
