About

We’ve been inside growing companies. Not as advisors from the sidelines, but in the middle of it. Working alongside founders. Seeing what actually happens when a company scales.

Here’s what we learned:

Most companies don’t break because of bad ideas. They break because the way they operate can’t support their ambition. At first, it works. Small team. Fast decisions. Founder involved in everything. But then the company grows. And what used to work… doesn’t anymore. Things get messy. Ownership gets blurry. The founder becomes the bottleneck, without meaning to.

We’ve both seen this up close. Across different companies, different roles, different stages.

Meet RunOps Studio

We’re both builders by nature. We care less about how things look on paper, and more about whether they actually work. Jasmijn brings deep experience in operations, systems and business infrastructure. Ilse brings COO-level and strategic experience, with a sharp eye for how things actually flow (or don’t).

Different angles. Same conclusion:

Most companies don’t need more effort. They need more clarity. That’s exactly why we started RunOps Studio. We bring COO-level operational thinking. Without turning your company into a corporate machine.

We build structures that:

Creates clarity Unlock ownership Scales with your growth

So you can stop firefighting… and start leading again.
