Fractional Chief of Staff | Business Operations Executive

Companies start looking for a Chief of Staff when the business is growing, but execution isn’t keeping up. You have direction, you have priorities - but turning that into clear plans, ownership, and consistent follow-through is where things break down. That’s where I step in - I work directly with founders and leadership teams to take strategy, and make it real across the business. • Turning direction into clear plans and timelines • Establishing ownership and accountability across teams • Driving cross-functional execution without creating drag • Surfacing risks early and bringing solutions, not just problems I'm most effective when: • Priorities exist, but don’t translate into execution • Initiatives start strong but lose momentum • The founder is the bottleneck for decisions and direction • The business feels harder to run than it should Within the first 30 days: • Priorities stabilize and translate into execution • Ownership is clear across key initiatives • Work moves forward without constant escalation • Leadership has visibility into what’s actually happening My role is simple - bring structure, pace, and follow-through so the business can scale without all the chaos. If that’s the gap you’re trying to close, we should talk.
