ABOUT ZARJA CIBEJ
Former competitive skier who brings that edge to fast-moving ventures and transformations—turning start-ups and corporates alike into high-velocity growth stories. Having navigated startup chaos, enterprise scale, and a successful exit, I’m now ready to bring that playbook to your next value-creation chapter.Enterprise transformation:Across nine years with Boston Consulting Group I led 15- to 30-person cross-functional teams on four continents, steering omnichannel growth-and-efficiency programmes that delivered £100M+ EBIT uplift for Fortune 500 retail and tech-services clients. The real thrill wasn’t the board presentation; it was hearing a store manager say “this new process just saved my team an hour every shift”—that’s when the numbers come alive. Entrepreneurial scale-up:As Founder–CEO of myTamarin I built a dual-track platform:• Employee-benefits arm → acquired by Peppy (2024)• Child-care marketplace → acquired by Nanny Louenna (2024)With low-seven-figure funding we scaled to multi-million-pound GMV, achieved NPS 75+ and 4.9 client ratings. We delivered 5M+ hours of care across the UK, France, Germany, Austria, the UAE and Saudi Arabia—earning B-Corp certification along the way. myTamarin was born from a very real pain point I faced as a parent; solving it taught me that empathy is a growth engine.Personal growth:Over the last three years, I trained in neuroscience-based hypnotherapy, PSYCH-K®, and Reiki—modalities that restore coherence in the human system. These now inform how I lead change: by aligning metrics with meaning, execution with energy, and ambition with attunement. The spreadsheet shows the what. But only people can show us the why—and that’s where lasting change begins.Where I’m at now:After steering ventures from zero to exit, and guiding large-scale transformations, I’m ready to apply that playbook as a senior operator—whether as CEO, COO, Operating Partner or Transformation MD—inside growth-stage or enterprise organisations across tech, services or any sector that values pace and measurable value creation.If your organisation is gearing up for its next value-creation chapter and needs a leader who pairs hard metrics with people-first execution, let\'s connect.P.S. My name is pronounced ‘Zaryah Chibey’—Slovenian roots. Yes, we’re known for names that are hard to pronounce, and athletes that are hard to beat.
