Why Exepera is built for you
Get operational fast

Focus on growth
You built this business. Stop managing the machine — let an experienced operator run it while you focus on vision and revenue.
No full-time cost
A full-time COO costs $200K–$400K/year. Exepera gives you the same calibre of operator at a fraction of the cost.
“Most founders are brilliant at winning clients. But ask them how their operations are running — the honest answer is usually: we're figuring it out as we go. That's exactly what Exepera is built to solve.”

Our COOs
Every COO in the Exepera network goes through a rigorous, multi-stage vetting process before being matched with any client. We don't just check CVs — we assess leadership, sector expertise, and real-world execution track record.
01
Experience review
Minimum 5 years in senior operations roles. We assess career trajectory, industry depth, company stages managed, and the complexity of challenges handled.
02
Structured interview
A detailed conversation covering leadership style, sector expertise, engagement availability, and how they approach operational challenges specific to your type of business.
03
Reference checks
A minimum of three professional references across varied relationships — direct reports, peers, and senior stakeholders — covering different organisations and roles.
04
Case study presentation
Each COO presents how they would approach a real-world operational brief, demonstrating their thinking, methodology, and communication style under practical conditions.
05
Background verification
Identity, credentials, and employment history are independently verified before any COO joins the network.
06
Ongoing performance review
After every engagement, both client and COO provide structured feedback. COOs are re-vetted annually. Those who don't maintain the standard are removed from the network.
