About Stella J Karavas

Innovative Executive Leader | Fractional CFO/COO | Product Strategist | Financial & Operational Expert

With a proven record of success across the manufacturing, government, nonprofit, and technology sectors, I specialize in conceptualizing and implementing revenue-generating innovations and operational transformations. My expertise spans internal control systems,...

…quality management, operational efficiency, product development, and strategic business planning.

As a turnaround and fractional CFO/COO, I’ve led the revitalization of struggling companies—revamping revenue models, increasing operational efficiency, and guiding organizations from near failure to financial sustainability and growth.

I bring a rare combination of technical acuity and strategic leadership, with a strong track record in developing and launching vital new products, systems, and services. As an IoT expert for remote sensing industries with the European Commission, I’ve contributed to high-impact global innovation initiatives.

My leadership extends to mentoring cross-functional teams through the full development lifecycle—from ideation and testing to market launch—ensuring success in capturing new, lucrative market opportunities.

With grounded financial acumen, I also lead efforts in fundraising, investor relations, grant management, and financial administration, including accounting, tax reporting, and budget planning. My operational expertise includes logistics, supply chain management, and inventory oversight—making me a versatile and strategic partner in scaling organizations.
