Are you struggling with scaling or battling with bandwidth?

A fractional Chief Operating Officer (COO) is an expert who works in your business for a set period, taking on the same roles and responsibilities as a permanent COO hire.

They help founders overcome the challenges of scaling a business and build capacity and accountability among leaders. Working with a fractional COO rapidly frees up founders to focus on growth, maximizing leverage from their vision and passion for the business they are building.

WHO AM I

I have worked as a founder, COO, and board member of several companies across various industries. During that time I experienced exits, failures, and successes, all of which have influenced me and contributed to my knowledge and resilience.

I now leverage my extensive experience and lessons from working in diverse industries and early-stage startups to support CEOs and founders who need a fractional COO to help them overcome the barriers to scaling up their businesses.

I am also an ultramarathon runner, an avid fan of exploring the world, and a lover of a great cup of coffee.

I work full-time as the Chief Operating Officer for a fixed-term engagement (3+ months).

At the end of our collaboration, I ensure a seamless handover to the successor.

  • Have a remote or hybrid workstyle

I primarily work remotely with European and USA-based businesses.

The advantages of a good COO and streamlined operations are clear, but you may wonder why fractional and why me. The answer is simple: I am driven by your success.

My fractional services are designed to offer advantages that can level up your business.

  • Cost-Effective: Avoid the high salary of a full-time COO. With a fractional COO, you only pay for the time you need, making it an affordable option for small and mid-sized businesses.
  • Flexible Engagement: Hire a fractional COO to meet your needs. Whether you require additional support for a few hours each week or an interim COO to step into the role while you search for a full-time position, a fractional COO will bridge the gaps.
  • Objective Perspective: Benefit from an outsider’s unbiased view. I can identify areas for improvement and develop effective strategies that are free from internal biases and preconceptions.

Three Steps to Operational Excellence

We begin with an intake call to understand your business’s strengths and challenges and gauge our compatibility. Our initial consultation allows you to evaluate if my services are a good fit for your organization.

2. Implementation

With frameworks like EOS® and organizational leadership expertise, I will begin executing the plan. First, I will develop a comprehensive understanding of your organization through one-on-one meetings. By using GAP analysis and insights from other team members, I will optimize my approach to working with your team, translating strategy into tangible results.

3. Check-In & Refinement

Every month, we will hold a same-page meeting (SPM) to make necessary adjustments and ensure we align with your strategic goals.
