15 Years in the Startup Trenches: Shahin Shateri Isn't Here for the Hype

CEBU CITY, Philippines - Sept. 2, 2025 - PRLog -- Shahin Shateri, a 15-year startup operations and GTM veteran, is emerging out of nowhere this week with a mighty message: "It's not hustle that scales a startup; it's smart, sustainable systems."

Known for his expertise in the outsourcing and startup growth sector, Shateri has functioned in numerous countries and sectors, creating high-performing operations, optimizing operations, and facilitating early-stage firms' growth without harming them in the process. Being a COO/CEO who is stationed in the Philippines, he has become a sought-after startup operations guru among founders who aim to scale without chaos.

"It's a lot about growth and sales early on (and it should be) but a lot of early stage companies forget about that operational architecture on the back-end, team effectiveness, and scalable systems keep it going if growth does occur," stated Shateri.

Shahin has spent over a decade inside engine rooms of startups, BPOs, and fast-growth scaleups, having worn a number of hats from service delivery chief to country leader to chief operating officer. He has a background in GTM strategy, virtual team development, outsourcing leadership, and supporting founders in turning their vision into a reality.

Now, he's using his voice to keep other startup leaders from repeating early stumbling blocks he's seen all too often.

"Founders need substance. They need someone who has been in the trenches and can link strategy to execution and especially in cross-cultural and distributed configurations," he further added.

Shateri thinks that the Philippines is perhaps a highly underleveraged launchpad to global operations due to a perfect combination of talent, culture, and scalability suited for startups that can accomplish a lot with a little.
As he continues to provide insights, materials, and advisory services to growth-stage and startup leaders, his goal is a simple one: Enable vision-motivated companies to scale efficiently, confidently, and transparently.
