The Atelier

A Fortune 500 operator, now at the tableof the companies that need her most.

Atelier Operations is the private practice of Johanna Pudda — an executive office for CEOs, boards, and investors who prefer an operator across the table over a deck across the table.

Founding Partner and Chief Executive Officer

Johanna Pudda has spent a decade and a half inside the world's most demanding operating environments — as a Chief Executive Officer, Chief Transformation Officer, and global supply chain executive, including senior operating leadership at Amazon. She has carried multi-million-dollar operational responsibility across manufacturing, distribution, and fulfillment networks spanning continents.

Her career is defined by enterprise transformation and private equity value creation — restructuring complex organizations, standing up the operating rituals that turn strategy into throughput, and developing the executive leaders who sustain the result.

Atelier Operations is the private practice that followed — a small bench of operating executives placed inside a small number of companies at any one time.

The Principles

How we work — and what we refuse to.

01

Operator, not consultant.

Every engagement is carried by an executive who has owned the number in-seat — not advised on it from the side.

02

Cadence over slideware.

The operating rhythm — MBRs, S&OP, QBRs — is the deliverable. Decks are a byproduct.

03

Embedded, not adjacent.

We sit inside the operating team, take the accountability, and hand back a stronger bench.

04

Measured in enterprise value.

Revenue, margin, working capital, service — the KPIs the board already tracks are the ones we carry.

Work with the Atelier

If the mandate is operating leadership, start a private conversation.

Every engagement begins with a confidential, unhurried session — the goal is to understand the mandate, not to sell one.
