Helping Founders Build Businesses That Run Smoothly — Without Becoming the Bottleneck
Welcome to my corner of the internet, where I share insights, strategies, and reflections on leadership, decision-making, and business operations. If you’re a founder who feels stuck in too many decisions, struggles with delegation, or wants to build a company that thrives without constant oversight, you’re in the right place.
I’ve spent over 15 years in tech, product, and business operations, helping startups and small & medium businesses create better products, scale effectively, and lead with clarity. But along the way, I realized that the key to a great business isn’t just better tools or processes — it’s leadership, ownership, and building an organization that runs smoothly.
This newsletter is where I explore these topics. Expect insights on:
📌 Making smarter decisions — so your team can move faster with confidence.
📌 Building teams that take ownership — so you don’t have to be involved in everything.
📌 Streamlining operations — so your business runs efficiently, not chaotically.
📌 Real-world leadership lessons — drawn from my work with founders, my experiences as a digital nomad, and even lessons learned while deep diving with a rebreather.
I believe founders deserve to build companies that don’t just grow, but grow in a way that’s sustainable, enjoyable, and not reliant on constant firefighting.
Who I Am
I’m Tobi — entrepreneur, leadership advisor, and sparring partner for founders who want high-performing businesses without unnecessary stress.
As a digital nomad, I’ve worked with founders around the world and seen firsthand how leadership, decision-making, and operations differ across cultures. I know that "right and wrong" are often contextual, that true resilience comes from adaptability, and that great companies are built on trust and autonomy.
Home is wherever the ocean is. As a rebreather diver, I know that true freedom comes when you trust your system, stay calm under pressure, and let things run smoothly — just like in a well-functioning business.
