You didn’t start your business to be the operations manager. But somewhere along the way, it started feeling like a second full-time job.

That’s where fractional COO services can make all the difference.

As your Fractional Chief Operating Officer, I step into the daily operations, bringing structure, accountability, and strategic support, so you can focus on growing the business or start planning your exit.

Whether you’re feeling stretched too thin or struggling to scale, I bring experience, clarity, and calm to the chaos of running a business.

What a Fractional COO Actually Does

A full-time COO may not make sense for your business, but that doesn’t mean you should keep managing everything yourself. This is where a Fractional COO (sometimes referred to as an Interim COO, Part-time COO, Outsourced COO, or Remote COO) comes in.

Fractional COO services give you access to experienced operational leadership without the full-time cost. I help you bridge the gap between vision and execution.

Here’s what that can look like:

Turning high-level strategy into actionable priorities
Building and mentoring leadership teams
Improving accountability across departments
Cleaning up and documenting processes
Identifying bottlenecks and fixing inefficiencies
Planning for growth, exit, or transition

Some businesses bring me in to stabilize operations. Others want to prep for a sale or help a founder step back. Every engagement is different, because your business isn’t like anyone else’s.

What It’s Like to Work Together

No long contracts. No canned playbooks. No big consulting firm overhead.

We start with a call. You tell me what’s going on, I ask a lot of questions, and if it’s a good fit, we move forward with a scope that fits your business.

Engagements range from 10 to 40 hours per month. I typically work with one or two companies at a time, which means you’re getting real focus, not a fly-by-weekly Zoom check-in.

Depending on your needs, I may act as a true second-in-command, lead a leadership team, or support you as a strategic advisor with boots-on-the-ground execution.
