Cristina Ruggeri

Founder, Tempura

Tempura is run by Cristina Ruggeri. Before Tempura, she was Chief of Staff at Google and at TikTok, the person leadership handed the problems that crossed every team and had no clear owner. She is a senior generalist operator. She runs operations, hiring, strategy, and restructuring, and she can build and ship the product herself. She does not hand over a plan and leave. She comes inside the company and does the work until it runs without her.

What working with us looks like

We work inside your organization, shoulder to shoulder with your leadership team. We do not leave until the work is done.

How we start

We spend the first few weeks getting underneath what is really going on. We talk to people across the organization, look at how work actually flows, and find what is blocking progress. Then we build a plan specific to your situation and realistic about what your team can absorb.

How we work

We build the systems, run the hiring, close the stuck deals, and keep the work moving. We are in your weekly meetings. We know your people by name. We are accountable for results, not recommendations.

How it ends

Most engagements run two to six months depending on scope. By the time we leave, your team has the skills and structures to sustain the changes without us.
