FRACTIONAL COO | BUSINESS BUILDER

Your Operations Should Fuel Growth, Not Fight It

When successful businesses scale, the complexities of operations multiply. The systems that got you here won’t get you there.

I partner with ambitious small and mid-size companies ready for their next level. Having led operations through multiple growth stages—from multi-unit restaurants to commercial services—I know how to build systems that scale with you, not against you.

The Growth Trap

You’ve built something great. Now it’s fighting you.

Every growing business hits the same wall: what got you to $5M breaks at $10M. What works at $10M begins to fail at $20M.

Ironically, the very hustle and flexibility that built your success becomes the chaos that limits it. Your operations become the ceiling on your growth.

Do some of these seem familiar?

Every decision still runs through you.
Your team is scrambling, no longer productive.
Profits aren’t scaling with revenue.
You’re too busy fighting fires to think strategically.

Your Operations Should Be Working FOR You, Not Against You

How I Can Help

Assessment & Optimization

I analyze your operations from top to bottom, identifying profit drains, bottlenecks, and missed opportunities. This is always a complete two-phase engagement – on-site assessment followed by hands-on implementation support to ensure changes take hold. You get both the diagnosis and the roadmap to fix it, plus partnership through execution.

Focused Project Assistance

Need help with a specific operational challenge? I deliver tactical solutions remotely – SOPs, process flow visuals, KPI dashboards, professional quality QA manuals and more. Fixed pricing, clear scope, and rapid results without long-term commitments. Perfect for addressing immediate needs with limited budgets or testing my expertise before larger engagements.

Fractional Executive Leadership

Your business needs executive-level operations, finance, or administrative leadership – but maybe not 40 hours a week of it. I provide the strategic thinking and hands-on expertise of a senior executive, scaled to your needs and budget. I integrate with your leadership team, drive key initiatives, and bring both operational excellence and financial discipline.

A Different Approach

While I find them useful in many cases, I don’t sell frameworks or methodologies drafted from an office and then left to wither on the vine. I’ve stood in your shoes—as GM, CFO, and COO of companies from $5M to $50M. I’ve led turnarounds, managed explosive growth, and learned what actually works versus what sounds good in a boardroom.

I work best with:

Growing companies ready to scale professionally.
Leadership teams who value execution over endless planning.
Businesses in transition – new ownership, rapid growth, market shifts.
Operations-heavy industries where efficiency drives profitability.
Not sure if you’re ready? If you’re losing sleep over operations, you’re ready.
Advisory services delivered on factory floor.
