Tamara Munoz

Tamara Munoz, Fractional COO to some of the world’s leading online businesses and founder of Behind the Screens, is an operations and leadership partner for growth-minded companies. After university, she built an illustrious, decades-long corporate career with iconic brands like Disney and Starbucks, mastering high-stakes operations in organizations with a 24 hour workday.
A human-first leader, Tamara believes results should never come at the expense of people. That conviction was fueled by her corporate experience with moments that mattered: requesting only three to four bereavement days to mourn the grandmother who raised her, leaving Christmas dinner to manage an actual store fire and losing a team member in a car accident only to see corporate leadership respond with chilling detachment. These instances crystalized her mission to design systems that protect both people and performance.
Tamara has spent years serving high achieving founders, proving her signature approach to systems and processes and giving busy CEOs back their lives. She has grown Behind the Screens to a 22-person team of employees and contractors. Seven years in, she is renowned for getting to the heart of operational gaps, building clear roadmaps and designing better systems so no one has to ask permission to grieve, to celebrate or live a full life.
Tamara is a first generation American citizen and finds joy in travel and cooking with her husband and three children.
