About

Who I am, and who I build with.

I run CB Consulting LLC from the Qatar Financial Centre and I lead every engagement myself. When the work calls for it, I collaborate with my Europe-based partner, and with hand-picked experts in AI, business transformation and automation.

Founder and Fractional COO

Clemence Bareth

Ex-UBS. Ex-BNY Mellon. Ex-HSBC. Grown in environments where mistakes cost millions.

Now architecting the operations behind scale.

For a decade, I managed institutional and ultra-high-net-worth client relationships on behalf of international banks, acting on the front line of operational transformation, working across departments and leading large-scale projects.

International finance defined my standards. Entrepreneurship grounded them in reality. Between the banks I co-founded an organic winery and olive farm in Tuscany, out of ruins and uncultivated land. Six years with my own money in it.

Today I work with founder-led businesses that already work and are moving into their next phase of growth.

I understand the financial language of PE and VC funds, and what they require when they assess an investment or an acquisition. I also understand what due diligence rarely covers: the real operational capability of a firm. That double angle is what clients get from me.

Fractional COO, Associate

Teresa Cavalla

Teresa is a fractional COO based in Milan, where she has run her own consultancy successfully for the past thirteen years.

Together we put real work into building a methodology that is unique to our market. Fractional COO work is still largely unstructured, and we wanted a method that holds. Between us there is more than forty years of operating experience, inside corporates, startups and founder-led businesses.

You create the vision. I build the systems that scale it.
