When To Bring On a Fractional COO

More Mature Processes Needed

  • The business needs more structure, systems and accountability to scale up
  • You need a leader that knows ‘what good looks like’ across multiple functions to guide the team but can’t afford top tier talent on a full-time basis

You Have Outgrown Doing Everything Yourself

  • You are working too hard, getting sucked into operational details and lack time to focus on true leadership.
  • Sometimes you feel like the only ‘adult’ in the room and need a mature leader to help manage the business but not ready to commit to a permanent, full-time executive level position.
  • You want to spend more time with family or carve out time for vacations and need a reliable second-in-command to manage in your absence.

The Business Feels Stuck

  • The levers for growth are unclear.
  • Everyone is working hard but too much time is spent fighting fires and you can't seem to grow revenue or profit beyond a certain level
  • Execution is a constant struggle.
  • You need C-suite help now, not after a 6-month executive search
A CEO's challenge

You need an operating partner, not just an advisor.

Someone to help drive clarity, build the team and get things done.
