Fractional COO

The operational leader your business needs — without the full-time hire.

I step in as your COO a few days a month: taking ownership of how the business runs, fixing what's broken, and building the operating machine so growth stops breaking things. You get 15+ years of senior operational judgment, on demand.

When you need one

A few signs it's time.

  • You're the bottleneck — too much still routes through you to decide or unblock.
  • You've grown past the point where things run on instinct, but before a full-time COO makes sense.
  • Delivery is unpredictable and you can't see why.
  • You know something's structurally off in operations but don't have time to fix it.
What I take ownership of

The full operational layer.

Process & execution

Map how work actually flows, cut the friction, and put in processes the team can run without you.

Org & ownership

Define roles, responsibilities, and reporting so everyone knows exactly what they own.

Systems & tools

Audit the stack, kill the chaos, and connect the tools so data flows instead of getting re-keyed.

Knowledge & SOPs

Document how the business runs so know-how lives in the system, not in people's heads.

Metrics & rhythm

Put in the operating cadence — the numbers, reviews, and rituals that keep execution on track.

Team & hiring

Shape the operational team, and help you hire the right people into the right structure.

“The goal is simple: a business that runs without depending on you — one where the important things happen reliably, whether you're in the room or not.”

What good looks like after a COO engagement.

Let's get your operations running without you.

A 30-minute call, no pitch. Tell me what's breaking and I'll tell you straight whether I can help.
