30yrs building world-class supply chains
Sound familiar?
You don't have a strategy problem.
You have an execution problem.
Mid-market food & beverage and manufacturing companies are full of smart people who already know what needs to change. What's missing is someone who has done it at global scale and can make it actually happen.
Scaling is breaking things
What worked at 10 SKUs or one plant is buckling. Processes, compliance, and visibility can't keep up with growth.
A digital roadmap that's all talk
You know you need to modernize the supply chain, but every vendor pitch sounds the same and none of it ships.
Enterprise expertise is out of reach
The people who've actually solved this at scale work for the Fortune 500 — and a Big-Four engagement is six figures before anyone starts.
What Cristian does
Four ways to put 30 years to work
Every engagement starts with your actual problem — not a fixed package. These are the areas where decades inside a global supply chain create the most leverage for a growing company.
01
Quality & Data Governance
Make quality and compliance effortless — and automatic.
Build the standards, controls, and reporting that keep product quality high and audits painless. Turn manual, error-prone processes into governed, automated workflows.
- Quality & compliance management systems
- Master data & data-quality frameworks
- Automated reporting and audit readiness
02
Supply-Chain Digital Transformation
End-to-end visibility and faster, better decisions.
A pragmatic digital strategy and roadmap for your supply chain — from PLM and master data to digital twins — sequenced so you see value in quarters, not years.
- Digital strategy & prioritized roadmap
- PLM & product lifecycle modernization
- Digital twin & end-to-end traceability
03
Innovation & Commercialization
Turn ideas and technology into a viable business.
Move concepts from the lab and whiteboard into the market. Validate, structure, and scale new products, technologies, and ventures with someone who has commercialized at global scale.
- Concept-to-market validation
- Technology & product commercialization
- Go-to-market and scaling strategy
04
Fractional Digital Advisor
Senior guidance on demand — without a full-time hire.
On-call advisory for founders and leadership teams: choose the right tools, avoid expensive mistakes, and build your team's data and digital capability over time.
- Technology selection & vendor vetting
- Data-skills coaching for your team
- Ongoing advisory & decision support
Not sure which one fits? That's exactly what the first call is for.
Most-requested engagement
Need a supply-chain executive — just not a full-time one?
A fractional supply chain executive gives growing food & beverage companies C-suite leadership for a fraction of the cost and commitment. It's the fastest-growing way mid-market companies get senior firepower — and it's where three decades at The Coca-Cola Company create the most leverage.
- A few days a month, not a $300K+ full-time hire
- 30 years of Coca-Cola supply-chain leadership
- Strategy and hands-on delivery — you work directly with Cristian
Meet Cristian
Three decades inside one of the world's most complex supply chains.
For nearly 30 years, Cristian Stelea helped run the technical engine behind The Coca-Cola Company — leading product lifecycle management, data intelligence, and the digital strategy that kept products moving across 200+ markets worldwide. If a supply-chain, quality, or data problem can exist at scale, he has seen it and solved it.
After retiring from Coca-Cola, Cristian founded Stelytics LLC with a simple conviction: the kind of expertise that used to be locked inside the Fortune 500 should be available to the growing companies that need it most — especially the food & beverage and manufacturing businesses building something real here in Georgia and across the South.
He works directly with founders and leadership teams — no junior consultants, no 80-slide decks. Just senior, hands-on help that turns your operations and data into an advantage.
How it works
Low-risk to start. Built to deliver.
Engagements are sized to your needs — a single diagnostic, a focused project, or ongoing fractional advisory. It always begins the same way: a conversation, not a contract.
- 1
Free discovery call
A focused 30 minutes on your situation and goals. You'll leave with at least one concrete idea worth acting on — whether or not we work together.
- 2
Diagnostic & assessment
Cristian digs into your processes, systems, and data to find what's really holding you back — and where the fastest, highest-value wins are.
- 3
A roadmap you can act on
A clear, prioritized plan in plain language — sequenced so you see momentum early, not a year from now. No jargon, no shelfware.
- 4
Hands-on delivery
Cristian works alongside your team to make it real — and builds your people's capability so the improvement sticks after he's gone.

Questions
Good questions to ask first
A few of the things people want to know before they reach out. Have another? It's a great reason to book a call.
What does Stelytics actually do?
Stelytics is the independent consulting practice of Cristian Stelea. Cristian works directly with founders and leadership teams on supply-chain transformation, quality and data governance, product lifecycle management (PLM), and the digital tools that improve operations — drawing on 30 years leading these areas at The Coca-Cola Company.
What size companies do you work with?
Mostly growing mid-market food & beverage and manufacturing companies — businesses big enough to feel real supply-chain and data complexity, but without an in-house executive who has solved it at global scale. Engagements range from a single diagnostic to ongoing fractional advisory.
Do you only work with food & beverage companies?
Food & beverage is the deepest specialty, but the underlying work — quality systems, data governance, PLM, digital strategy, and commercialization — applies across manufacturing and product-driven businesses. If you're not sure it fits, the first call will tell you quickly.
Are you based in Atlanta? Do you work outside Georgia?
Yes — Cristian is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and works closely with companies across the Southeast. He also serves clients across the United States, on-site or remotely depending on what the engagement needs.
How is this different from hiring a big consulting firm?
You work directly with Cristian — not a team of junior consultants and a stack of slides. That means senior, hands-on expertise, faster decisions, far lower overhead, and a focus on shipping real improvements your team can sustain after the engagement ends.
What does it cost, and how do we start?
It starts with a free 30-minute consultation — no pitch, no obligation. From there, engagements are scoped to your needs (a focused diagnostic, a project, or fractional advisory), so cost depends on what you're trying to achieve. Book the call and you'll get a clear sense of the path and the investment.
Let's talk
Your first conversation with Cristian is free.
Bring your hardest supply-chain, quality, or data problem. In 30 minutes you'll get a clear-eyed read on it from someone who has solved it at global scale — and a sense of what's possible next. No pitch, no obligation.
