Masha Khokhlova

🚀 Operations & Data Specialist | Problem-Solver | Startup Growth Enabler

With over a decade of experience spanning data operations, process optimisation, and scaling startups, I specialise in bringing structure to chaos and bridging technical and business teams. My expertise lies in helping companies streamline operations, implement scalable data strategies, and maximise efficiency—all while ensuring that processes remain lean and impactful.

What I Bring to the Table:
🔹 Operational Scaling & Efficiency – I led data operations at Manufacture 2030, transforming it from a startup with 18 employees into a fully scaled business with 112 employees and streamlined data infrastructure. I designed high-efficiency workflows that saved teams 5 to 20 man-hours weekly.

🔹 Data Strategy & Business Intelligence – I developed and optimised data pipelines, CRM systems, and analytics tools, directly supporting Series A fundraising (£5M secured) by providing strategic insights and investor-grade reporting.

🔹 Cross-Functional Team Leadership – I’ve built and mentored teams from 3 to 12 people, ensuring high performance and smooth collaboration across product, sales, and customer success. I thrive on mentoring talent and helping startups scale sustainably.

🔹 Hands-on, Adaptive, and Problem-Solving Focused – I am deeply data-driven and highly adaptable, picking up new tools quickly to implement pragmatic solutions. Whether it’s CRM migrations (Salesforce, HubSpot), designing workflow automation, or troubleshooting broken operational processes, I excel in getting things done fast and efficiently.

Who I Want to Help:
I mentor founders and early-stage startups struggling with:
✔️ Scaling operations without breaking efficiency
✔️ Making data work for them, not against them
✔️ Bridging gaps between technical and business teams
✔️ Automating and streamlining their internal processes
✔️ Getting investor-ready through data-driven insights

I thrive in high-pressure, fast-moving environments and love turning complex, chaotic processes into smooth-running systems. If you’re a founder looking to supercharge your operations and data strategy, let’s connect!
