My background spans operations, finance, and organizational restructuring, with a focus on practical execution rather than theory.
Lean Ops is run by Milan Ilić, an operations professional who works closely with founders and leadership teams during periods of change.
Since 2018, I’ve supported blockchain and technology-driven companies through growth, acquisitions, and restructuring — helping founders bring clarity to operations, align teams, and keep the business moving forward when things get complex.
7+ years of building inside real companies
Hands-on experience since 2018 working within blockchain and technology organizations — embedded in day-to-day operations rather than advising from the outside.
Experience with complexity at scale
Experience working with both lean teams and organizations with 1,000+ employees, understanding how decision-making, communication, and accountability change as companies grow.
Turning acquisitions into functioning teams
Direct involvement in setting up acquired teams so they actually work in practice — from offices and contracts to tooling, purchasing, and documentation.
This included getting teams operational quickly, standardizing ways of working, and creating early internal structure through onboarding and team initiatives.
Navigating hard transitions
Hands-on support during some of the most demanding phases of a company’s lifecycle:
integrating teams after acquihires
aligning founders, leadership, and teams
defining what matters through clear KPIs
simplifying operations during downsizing or wind-downs
setting up brand protection security procedures
This work often happens under pressure, where clarity and judgment matter most.
I’m most effective when founders need a practical partner to help untangle complexity, make decisions stick, and create just enough structure for teams to execute — without turning the company into a process-heavy organization.
