About Me

Currently working as Clinic Operations Manager at AYUN, a fast-moving startup clinic in Zurich, promoted from a front-line role within six months.

I tend to move quickly, take ownership early, and improve things as I go, especially where internal systems, coordination, and operational workflows need to be made more efficient.

Operations & Systems Professional focused on building clarity in complex environments

Zurich, Switzerland

Clinic Operations Manager at AYUN. Focused on operations, systems, workflow improvement, and execution in fast-moving environments.

I work at the intersection of operations, systems, and execution. My focus is simple: take complexity, remove friction, and build structures that actually work in practice.

I’m especially interested in early-stage and fast-moving environments, where clarity, speed, and adaptability matter more than perfect plans.

Experience

Experience & Progression

A progression shaped by early responsibility, operational ownership, and fast-moving environments where execution has to hold up in practice.

AYUN

Operational growth made visible.

Now leading operational execution across a fast-moving startup clinic, having grown from an initial front-line role into full operational scope within six months.

Previous Role

Health Guide

AYUN

Sep 2024 - Mar 2025

Started in a front-line operational role and expanded the scope early, building the foundation for a move into broader operational responsibility.

  • Worked in a medically adjacent startup environment where structured process execution, discretion, and reliability mattered.
  • Handled documentation, scheduling coordination, multi-channel communication, and daily operational follow-through.
  • Took on IT and automation support topics early, which helped drive the move into broader operational responsibility.

Independent

Venture Work

Early-stage work

Built and pressure-tested early-stage ideas with a practical lens on feasibility, positioning, and what would hold up outside the concept stage.

  • Worked across concept development, structure, branding, and execution planning rather than stopping at the idea stage.
  • Tested opportunities against market reality, practical constraints, and whether the concept could translate into something usable.

Hospitality, service, support & safety

Early Experience

Foundation

Built a reliable foundation across customer-facing and operations-heavy roles where service, standards, and calm execution mattered every day.

  • Worked across hospitality, retail, support, public-facing security, and site-based environments with real accountability.
  • Developed strong instincts for communication, responsibility, adaptability, and staying composed under pressure.
