The Operator
Who Codes

The gap between "Strategic Vision" and "Technical Execution" is where most value is lost. Operations leaders rarely understand code; Engineers rarely understand the P&L. Liam OBrien bridges that gap.

The Background

I am a Technical Operating Partner with over 20 years of experience at the intersection of Financial Markets, Risk Governance, and Technology.

Institutional Scale:

Former CRO/Responsible Manager for eToro Australia, overseeing governance for $1B+ in client assets and hyper-growth scaling.

Strategic Depth:

Alumnus of Harvard Business School (PLD).

Technical Execution:

Expert in Multi-Agent Systems, RAG pipelines, and Python automation.

The Approach

I work with Capital Allocators and Founders who demand rigor. I don't just advise on strategy; I build the architecture that executes it. From automating regulatory compliance to deploying AI agents that handle complex workflows, I treat Operations as an engineering problem to be solved.

Technical Execution

I don't just advise—I build. Expert in Multi-Agent Systems, RAG pipelines, and Python automation. I deploy Digital Workers that actually work, not theoretical frameworks.

Institutional Credibility

Former CRO/Responsible Manager for eToro Australia ($1B+ in client assets). Worked with investment funds and complex enterprises including Morgan Stanley, UBS, JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, and others.

Executive Deliverables

Operational architecture roadmaps identifying the top opportunities to reduce Opex, de-risk assets, and deploy Digital Workers. Clear execution plans with governance frameworks and technical specifications.

Engineering Mindset

I treat Operations as an engineering problem. No consulting theater—just architecture that executes. Every recommendation is grounded in unit economics, technical feasibility, and operational reality.

Bridge Builder

I speak both languages: the boardroom's strategic vision and the engineering team's technical execution. This unique position allows me to align capital allocators, founders, and technical teams around operational architecture that delivers.

Rapid Diagnosis

Surgical, fixed-scope engagements that map workflows, stress-test data integrity, and identify regulatory gaps. We deliver executive roadmaps that prioritize impact—not consulting theater.

Our Philosophy

Operations is an engineering problem. Complexity kills returns. We eliminate operational debt by deploying architecture that executes—not consulting theater.

  • 1

    Diagnosis Before Prescription

    We identify operational debt first. Surgical audits map workflows, stress-test data integrity, and expose regulatory gaps. Only then do we prescribe architecture.

  • 2

    Execution Over Strategy

    I don't deliver slides—I build the architecture. From governance frameworks to Digital Workers, every recommendation is technically feasible and operationally sound.

  • 3

    Operational Leverage

    We don't sell consulting hours. We install leverage: automated workflows that reduce Opex, de-risk assets, and provide the "Sleep at Night" factor for leadership.

Our Approach

We work with Capital Allocators and Founders who demand rigor. Diagnosis, then execution. Architecture that delivers, not frameworks that gather dust.

  • Technical Audit

    Surgical assessment of your operational environment. We map workflows, stress-test data integrity, and identify regulatory gaps. The first step to eliminating operational debt.

  • Architecture Deployment

    I build the systems that execute. Governance engineering, Digital Workers (Agentic AI), and automated workflows. Not advisory—implementation that reduces cost and risk.

  • Executive Roadmap

    Clear priorities: the top 3 opportunities to reduce Opex and de-risk the asset. Technical specifications, not strategic frameworks. Execution plans, not consulting deliverables.
