As entrepreneurs ourselves, we understand the unique challenges startups face managing their rollercoaster growth. We’ve lived it. We know that even well-funded teams can lack the bandwidth to recruit, train, and integrate the operations staff needed to meet growing demand. And that even when the right employees are in place, many companies lack the crucial mid-management layer needed to drive employee performance and process improvements. Hugo was created with the high-growth startup in mind. We custom build or augment existing operations teams for companies in scaling mode, leaving founders and senior management to focus on what matters most: growth.
