What I do
I'm a former CEO/COO who streamlines operations and strategy execution. I partner with senior leaders to:
Help choose the right strategic priorities
Drive growth and strategic projects forward
Uncover operational bottlenecks
Simplify and streamline processes
Define KPIs and drive continuous improvement​
Coach and develop leaders
Run day-to-day operations in partnership with executive leaders
Serve as the CEOs sounding board for operational decisions
Types of Fractional COO Engagements
Full-scope COO/Integrator
Contract for a defined volume of hours, ranging from eight to 30 hours per week, typically over a period of months to years
Retainers from $5,000 - $15,000 per month
Project-Based
This option often expands up to full-time for a limited period of time, such as one to six months
Typical projects: $10,000 to $50,000
Strategic Advisory
Facilitated planning sessions (4-8 hours) to clarify direction, solve specific operational challenges, or align leadership teams
Typically: $1,500 - $4,000
Problems I Solve
Fill Leadership Gaps
Why wait 90 days for a hire?
I solve for both systems and people. I understand how teams actually work, communicate, and adopt change—not just theory. I clarify priorities, develop leaders through real work, install accountability frameworks, and drive initiatives that can't wait.
Replace Duct-Tape Approaches
Smooth operations; jumpstart new hires
When systems replace tribal knowledge: backup support exists for key roles, operations handle 3x volume without heroics, error rates drop significantly, and new hires contribute in weeks instead of months.
Cut Through AI Hype
Build strategic AI advantage
I'm your AI Integration Sherpa—an operator who translates AI possibilities into business reality. Unlike technical consultants who lead with technology, I start with your operational constraints and work backward to AI solutions.
Harness Your Data
Improve decision-making
I integrate your systems into one trusted source of truth—solving both technical integration and the human side: how people work with data, who needs access, and how to build trust in the numbers.
