Business transformation Measurable results
Value creation through operations for growing European SMEs and private equity firms.
Why we're passionate about enhancing business efficiency
Bridging strategy discipline with startup speed
We founded Axion Lab after years in startups, scale-ups, and private equity consulting. Everywhere we looked, the same drag appeared: repetitive tasks, clunky handoffs, and “later” fixes that never got done, slowing growth and eroding margins.
Our approach is simple: pair consulting discipline with startup speed. We bring clear diagnosis, business-tied metrics, and fast execution that ships results in weeks, not quarters. The formula works: first on our own ventures, now for clients who need efficiency without added complexity.
AI is part of the toolkit, not the headline. We streamline first, automate only where it adds value, and scale when the economics are right. For SMEs and private equity, that means real impact: lower costs, smoother operations, and faster growth.
Our leadership and experts
The team and expert network driving your business transformation.
Core team
Roman E.
Co-Founder
Roman started as an entrepreneur, building a few ventures (including accelerator-backed ones) before experiencing big-company pace at Danone. He then joined a U.S. healthtech scale-up serving millions of users, where he cut through hiring, sales, and marketing bottlenecks with simple processes and pragmatic automation. Today he leads growth initiatives in an SME and brings the same operator mindset to Axion Lab: pilot first, scale what works, and install systems that teams can run themselves for lasting, ROI-driven results.
Sergei M.
Co-Founder
Sergei began in science and then pivoted to entrepreneurship, launching multiple businesses and running into the same growth and operations bottlenecks despite the contrast in industries. He later joined an AI scale-up working across product, marketing, and strategy, where he saw how silos slow even small teams. During the last four years he helped private equities in sustainable value creation. At Axion Lab he combines a consulting helicopter view with scaleup speed: identify the bottlenecks, fix the workflow, adopt the playbook.

Outcome-focused playbook
There are three key steps that drive every successful transformation
Transparent diagnostics
Context before solutions: We start with working sessions to understand if the problem is real, if it's solvable, and if we're the right ones to solve it.
Design what makes sense
Simplification first: Technology implementation or restructuring only if it can clearly cut costs, save time, or unlock growth.
Implement and adopt
Ownership, not dependency: Handing over deployed solutions your team can run independently, without long-term reliance on us.
