About Erwin

I help founders, consultancies, and delivery teams simplify execution, align operations, and build systems that actually scale.

As Co-Founder of Refr Solutions, I design modular execution systems that blend SmartKits, automation, and strategic advisory to support fast delivery, clear accountability, and scalable workflows.

With 10+ years in finance, HR, and transformation consulting, I’ve led embedded delivery roles, supported M&A, built talent infrastructure, and implemented internal systems for startups, government, and scale-ups across the GCC and Europe.

🔧 What I Actually Build

🧱 Hiring systems & talent infrastructure
→ Embedded recruiting workflows, intake logic, workforce planning kits

📝 Proposal & onboarding flows
→ Modular service forms, async handovers, enablement templates

📊 KPI dashboards & execution tracking
→ Visibility tools for operations, performance, and handover tracking

🔁 Workflow automation & API-based delivery
→ Smart logic flows with Supabase, Airtable, and integrations

💰 Investor readiness & cost modeling
→ Planning tools, budget kits, and lean financial models for delivery-heavy orgs

🧭 Advisory & fractional leadership
→ Interim roles in ops, HR, and delivery to unblock execution and drive results

Whether you’re scaling a startup or leading a delivery team, I help you structure execution without friction. Reach out directly or connect via
