Fractional COO · Senior operating leadership, part time
Get out of the middle of every decision.
When every decision still runs through you, growth stalls. An experienced COO inside your business, part time, builds the structure, weekly numbers and management depth that turn a busy company into a more profitable one, and gives you your time back.
Sound familiar?
Is this you?
- You are the operations department, the HR department and the final word on every quote.
- Good people are hard to find and harder to keep.
- Managers wait for your answer instead of making the call.
- You do not know how the week went until the month is over.
- You have outgrown the way things were done at $1M, but nobody has rebuilt it.
- A full-time COO is not in the budget, and hiring the wrong one would be expensive.

What background does your fractional COO have?
Our principal has 25 years as a founder, operator and director with direct P&L responsibility, including serving as EVP and COO through a scale-up from 25 to more than 120 people across three US subsidiaries.
