# Executive Management & Value Creation – Interim, Fractional & Permanent

 Francisco Baraona

## CEO | COO | CRO | CFO for GreenTech, SaaS, DefenceTech & HighTech Manufacturing

"Should results fall short of market expectations, I bring your business model back on track—both operationally and strategically.""

### Transformation

Strategic leadership for sustainable corporate transformation and measurable value creation

### Restructuring & Turnaround

Stabilizing results, liquidity and cost structure – from distressed situations back to profitable growth

### Scaling & Growth

Identifying market opportunities, scaling business models, strengthening market positions

### M&A & Exit Readiness

Buy-&-build, carve-outs and exit preparation – from strategy through post-merger integration

### Private Equity & Financial Investors

Strategic and operational support across the portfolio – driving value creation and investment targets

### Interim Leadership

Taking on executive positions on an interim basis – with or without statutory board responsibility

## Growth is good. Scalable, profitable growth is better.

> “Making companies in phases of rapid expansion not just bigger but more valuable takes more than operational hustle: it takes strategic clarity and executive discipline.
> 
> As CEO, COO, CRO or CFO, I help technology and industrial companies expand their market position sustainably – without sacrificing profitability, with results such as +25% revenue and ARR growth at +31% EBITDA. The model follows your situation: interim as a full-time mandate for a defined period, fractional alongside several companies in parallel, interim-to-permanent, or in a permanent position. Working closely with shareholders and private equity investors, I build structures that do not just hold for the moment but form the foundation for long-term corporate success.”
