The Architect

Most founders scale headcount when what they actually need is rhythm.

Vishnu Balasundaram is the founder of The Ops Layer, a specialized practice that installs self-compounding execution systems for fast-scaling Series A/B companies.

Before building The Ops Layer, Vishnu led strategic delivery for global enterprises including SolarWinds and OLIVER Agency — not as a project manager, but as the architect behind their internal operating cadence.

• At SolarWinds, he was credited by the Head of Enterprise Data for “bringing sanity to the large workload” and reducing executive stress through disciplined delivery systems.
• At OLIVER, he rebuilt reporting workflows so effectively that the COO described the output as “legendary.”

His work blends engineering precision with the discipline of a polymath — applying the same rigor to company operations that he applies to physical and intellectual mastery.

Not slides. Not fluff. Just signal, structure, and compounding execution.
