Tamara Kurz

Hi, I'm Tamara Kurz. I act as the Chief of Staff for Risk Management for founders and executives. As a former COO turned independent insurance broker, I help leaders build a resilient organizational and private risk infrastructure. My core philosophy is simple: Order beats optimization. I reduce the cognitive load of complex administrative and insurance systems so you can regain full operational capacity. My promise to mentees and clients is: You have to carry responsibility, but you don't have to carry it alone. On GrowthMentor, I can help you with: ✔️ Executive Risk Infrastructure: Navigating the German insurance system, assessing liability, and setting up a resilient foundation for your startup. ✔️ Cognitive Unloading & Delegation: How to delegate complex operational risks and administrative debt without losing control. ✔️ Operational Excellence: Lessons from a former COO on building clear processes and structures before optimizing them. ✔️ Decision Making under Uncertainty: Frameworks for problem management, risk assessment, and navigating high-stakes situations. ✔️ Leadership & Self-Management: Managing the operational reality and mental load required to effectively lead your organization.

  Leadership

  Not only have I built and scaled departments myself - happy to also pass along my endless list of perspectives, guidance and stories from my own mentors and co-executives.

• 

  Mindset coaching

  I have been described as "aggressively positive" - I will never let a difficulty go to waste, and my challenges and disasters are my most-loved stories. This translates into my organizations: It ain't over until we win.

  Operations

  The craft of delivering a really good customer experience while staying effective and efficient is not only a question of processes and tech. Happy to walk you through the really hard questions and the opportunity costs of your decisions.

  Product market fit

  In the B2B world, I am often a decider for tools and vendors - and have experience in mentoring early-stage start-ups in pitch training, understanding the processes of getting your first customers, and how to navigate that corporate decision making process.
