Fractional Executive or Embedded Ops Partner

If your business is scaling fast, undergoing a transition, or just needs experienced operational leadership—but you’re not ready (or able) to hire a full-time COO—this service is for you.

I act as a deeply integrated member of your leadership team.

Whether you need help navigating a specific inflection point (like a major systems migration, leadership change, or fundraising push), or long-term support building infrastructure for scale, I bring founder empathy, executive-level thinking, and hands-on systems execution — at a fraction of the cost of hiring an FTE.

This service is ideal for:

  • Post-Series A startups who need operational leadership but can’t yet justify a full-time COO

  • Small businesses who want to avoid scaling chaos

  • Bootstrapped teams preparing for future acquisition or fundraising

  • Founders in transition—e.g., maternity leave, burn out, or stepping back from daily operations

You’ll get strategic planning, operational execution, and people/process/system support all in one.

And because it’s fractional, you only pay for what you need.

Sample Engagements

You Need a COO, But Don’t Have a Need (or Budget) for Full Time

Challenge: You’re too busy to run the day-to-day, but not ready to hire a full-time ops leader.

What I Do: I serve as your fractional COO, leading ops meetings, owning team systems, and solving cross-functional friction.

Outcome: You get time back and confidence that the business is running smoothly.

From Chaos To Clarity

Challenge: Everything feels reactive—no clear roles, processes, or priorities.

What We Do: I design and implement a scalable operating system (using EOS, OKRs, or custom frameworks), install project tracking, and build team accountability rituals.

Outcome: Operational clarity, faster execution, and a calmer CEO.

Pre-Acquisition Prep

Challenge: You’re preparing for sale or investment and need clean books, better reporting, and tighter processes.

What I Do: I clean up systems, own due diligence prep, streamline client communication, and build your investor deck narrative.

Outcome: Higher valuation and smoother acquisition.

These are just three examples of how I can work with startups and small businesses to build a solid foundation for pain-free growth.

All of my projects are custom-designed for each client and the challenge they’re facing. Let’s talk about what this could look like for your business!
