"We drive your company's competitiveness and profitability"
ENABLE Operating Partners: Where strategy becomes execution. At ENABLE OP, we don’t do traditional consulting. We engage as true operating partners to transform how companies generate results. Our team leads and executes projects that drive competitiveness, efficiency, and profitability in a tangible and sustainable way. Our approach is pragmatic, personalized, and focused on tangible results.
A High-Level Team. Committed to Results.
We have a senior team with a unique balance between strategic vision and execution capabilities.
Our team is made up of professionals with a solid track record in operations management at multinational companies, international consulting firms, and private equity funds. We combine technical and industrial training with skills in leadership, change management, and financial management, which allows us to approach complex projects from a holistic perspective, leading initiatives for operational transformation, cost optimization, service improvement, and organizational redesign. This experience allows us to adapt quickly to each client’s context, maintaining a focus on creating sustainable value.
We don’t advise from afar. We work side-by-side with teams to ensure that every initiative is implemented rigorously, quickly, and with a focus on economic impact.
Solutions that Meet the Challenge. In an environment of constant change, we design interventions tailored to the context and ambitions of each company:
- 100-day response plans, geared towards companies in critical situations that need to regain control.
- 18- to 24-month operational transformation programs, designed for companies seeking to strengthen their operating model and scale efficiently.
Multi-Sector Experience. Cross-Cutting Impact.
Our track record includes projects in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, beverages, automotive, textiles, glass, metal, paper, plastics, electronics, and renewable energy. We excel in both high-volume operations and highly regulated or capital-intensive environments.
