Run Better · Fractional COO
A COO who executes with your team — not a consultant who advises from above it.
For $2M–$50M companies where growth has outpaced systems and everything still runs through the founder. Engagements from $5K/month, 5–10 hours a week, with a two-week guarantee.
Is this you?
The signs are always the same.
You're the bottleneck
Decisions queue behind you. The team waits. Growth waits with them.
Systems are duct tape
Manual processes, tribal knowledge, spreadsheets holding up revenue.
Hiring hasn't fixed it
You added people to a broken machine. Now the machine costs more.
Engagement models
Three ways in. Same operator.
Ongoing Advisory
from $5K/mo
Weekly rhythm. Strategic decisions, operational reviews, team development. You keep a COO's judgment on tap.
Embedded Execution
$8K–$25K/mo
I work inside the business with your team — building systems, running the operating cadence, driving the roadmap through to done.
Interim COO
scoped per engagement
Full seat coverage during a transition, a search, or a turnaround. Defined start, defined handoff.
The APEX Framework™
How every engagement runs.
- Audit
Comprehensive review of your current operational state. No assumptions.
- Plan
A custom roadmap aligned to your growth goals — sequenced, not just listed.
- Execute
Build and implement the systems, with your team, until they run without me.
- X-Factor
Measure outcomes, iterate, and hold the operating cadence accountable.
Straight answers
The questions founders actually ask.
When do I need a Fractional COO?
When you see signs of operational chaos: growth has outpaced your systems, manual processes need automation, and everything still runs through you.
How is this different from a consultant?
A consultant gives you recommendations and leaves. A Fractional COO gives you strategy AND execution — I work inside your business with your team until it's done.
What does it cost?
Engagements run $5K–$25K per month at 5–10 hours a week, depending on scope and model. If we work together, I offer a two-week guarantee: if it's not working in the first two weeks, you don't pay.
How long do engagements last?
Let's understand your needs first — but typically 3–18 months, then month-to-month. Defined exits, no lock-in.
Will you work with my existing team?
Yes. I work with your team, not above them. You're not managing me — we're working together.
How do we decide if it's a fit?
We both decide. Have a call and see if there's chemistry. Do your challenges match my expertise? Is your team ready for change? Do we communicate well? Honest truth: pick whoever YOU feel comfortable with and who delivers results.
One call. An honest assessment. Both of us decide.
If the audit is the smarter first step for you, I'll say so on the call.
