Hello, I'm Michael.
Founder of Cremanski & Company: experienced revenue operators building AI-driven GTM operating systems.
I help B2B leadership teams and PE investors build AI-driven GTM operating systems that turn execution into EBITDA growth and enterprise value. My playbooks were forged in the trenches: scaling a startup from employee #1 to 70 people, driving 500% annual growth at another, bootstrapping my own company past €5M in revenue with personal capital on the line, and steering PE-backed GTM turnarounds.
I advise boards and leadership teams on high-leverage P&L decisions. As a speaker, panelist, and podcast guest, I deliver actionable playbooks, real metrics, and battle-tested frameworks to audiences across Europe.
About
Who I am
I founded Cremanski & Company because I watched smart companies with strong products lose enterprise value to broken commercial organizations. Since 2018, I have worked with 600+ B2B companies on the organizational and go-to-market decisions that show up in EBITDA and exit multiples.
Before consulting, I founded companies and carried the number myself, in Sales, Marketing, and Operations. I've also stepped in as interim CRO and VP Sales for businesses in the €30 to 50 million range, and sat on the advisor side of PE-backed transformations where the first 18 months decided the return.
Today, AI changes how go-to-market works. That’s why we build AI-driven GTM operating systems: so AI has the rules, data and context it needs to do real work.
The theory is rarely the problem. Most leadership teams already know where value is being lost. What's missing is the governance to turn that into a P&L outcome.
"Revenue runs on a system. Build it for AI, and EBITDA follows."
