About

Oana Garis is a trusted operator to CEOs, UHNWIs, and private family offices. For over 15 years, she has worked exclusively alongside top decision-makers as their right hand, building the systems, governance structures, and strategic support needed to scale, navigate complexity, and drive high-stakes outcomes. Her career includes 10 figure private family offices, elite investment banking, billion dollar engineering companies and green energy and tech, with a consistent track record of execution in environments where precision, discretion and results matter.

Oana’s career began in Canada supporting UHNW CEO’s across international billion dollar energy operations and managing complex cross-border communications in 4 languages. From the start, she built a reputation for efficiency, streamlining executive operations, modernizing governance, and enabling founders to move faster and lead more effectively.

Her work has taken her from multi-billion-dollar family offices to high-growth startups and founder-led organizations across North America and Europe. Whether leading board modernization, scaling governance systems, managing investor communications, or establishing operations during rapid expansion, Oana’s ability to adapt and execute at speed has set her apart.

As one start-up founder once remarked, “Oana is a Ferrari when the company is stuck in second gear,” she operates with unparalleled efficiency, precision, and the ability to stay ahead of the curve in even the most demanding leadership environments.

She holds a BA in English Literature from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, is certified as an ESG Advisor by the International Association of Sustainable Economy, and is fluent in English, French, Italian, and Romanian.

Known for her strategic precision and no-nonsense approach, Oana codifies the systems and methods she developed inside founder-led, private, and UHNW organizations. Through The OG Standard™, she translates the operating principles that protect time, strengthen decision flow, and stabilize execution at the top.

She is the author of The Deadline-Proof System™ and The Quiet Operator Blueprint™, two frameworks built from real work inside high-stakes environments. They help CEOs, Family Offices, and executive operators achieve flawless execution under pressure.

Her digital guides, consultations, and monthly governance briefings serve as practical tools for leaders who expect discipline, clarity, and control in their operating systems.

Alongside her published work, Oana actively partners with CEOs and Family Offices in long-term, embedded roles, supporting high-stakes decision making, restoring execution discipline, and protecting leadership capacity from noise.

Her mission is to help leaders and their operators eliminate chaos, meet critical deadlines with confidence, and operate at a standard that reflects competence, discretion, and command.
