Fractional COO for Growth-Stage Companies

Build the operating engine that makes growth repeatable.

Growth isn’t just revenue. It’s the systems, workflows, and performance visibility that let you scale without chaos.

Who This Is For

Built for leadership teams who are:

  • Scaling fast and feeling execution strain across teams

  • PE-backed, VC-backed, or search-backed without an internal portfolio ops function

  • Struggling with inconsistent processes and unclear ownership

  • Trying to operationalize automation/AI but lacking a roadmap and adoption system

  • Preparing for funding, debt, board reporting, or exit readiness in the next 6–36 months

  • A repeatable operating system (priorities, cadence, accountability)

  • Operational leverage through standardization + automation (AI-ready processes)

How We Help

  • Go-To-Market Operations

    Support GTM launches between marketing, sales, customer success and operations with clear handoffs, SLAs, and the operating rhythm to scale growth.

  • Operating System & Accountability Cadence

    Install a leadership cadence (planning, scorecards, meeting hygiene, decision rights) so priorities turn into execution.

  • AI-Ready Processes & Automation

    Identify workflow bottlenecks, redesign before automating, and launch pilots that actually get adopted.

  • Customer Delivery, Onboarding & Retention Engine

    Improve customer onboarding and delivery consistency, reduce churn drivers, and build repeatable retention/expansion motions.

  • Standardized Scaling Playbooks

    SOPs, templates, and operating playbooks that make expansion (teams/locations/volume/products) smoother and less founder-dependent.
