Boris Manhart

Chief Executive Officer

I work with founders, CEOs and boards who are building what’s next – and need clarity to move faster.

My focus is product-market fit, growth strategy and innovation in moments of strategic complexity: scaling, pivots, portfolio decisions, or board-level alignment.

I don’t sell frameworks for the sake of frameworks. I help leadership teams make better decisions, faster – grounded in reality, not theory.

Typical work includes:
– PMF and growth strategy at founder and board level
– Strategic sparring for CEOs and leadership teams
– Innovation and portfolio decisions in scale-ups and SMEs
- Alignement and OKRs
– Board and advisory roles

Based in Zurich. Working internationally.

Most leadership overload is not a personal failure.
It’s a design problem.

As organisations grow, their original operating logic quietly stops working.

Decisions accumulate.
Meaning and accountability drift upward.

Even with capable leaders, modern tools, and fast execution, the organisation still depends on one person to interpret what matters and what moves.

That’s the moment I work with.

I don’t step into operational execution.
I work on the operating logic itself — where judgment, authority, and accountability still route through one person.

This work is for CEOs of growing organisations (typically 50–200 people) who notice that:
– execution is fast, but deciding still comes back to them
– delegation increased, but centrality didn’t
– the company works — yet still depends on one interpreter

Nothing is “broken.”
The structure just hasn’t caught up yet.

Before this work, I was a CEO for 5 years, scaling a company from six to seven figures. I understand the seat.
