Operations Experience

Your Growth Is Stalling Because You're the Bottleneck

Every decision flows through you. Every fire needs your attention. You're drowning in operational chaos while revenue opportunities slip away.

Decision Queues

Your team can't move forward without your approval. Initiatives stall. Projects sit in limbo waiting for you to review, approve, or weigh in.

Constant Firefighting

You're pulled into every problem. HR issues. Tech glitches. Cash flow crises. Process breakdowns. There's no system to handle it without you.

No Time for Strategy

You know you should be meeting clients, closing deals, building partnerships. Instead you're approving expenses and fixing operational issues.

Can't Scale Beyond You

Revenue hits a ceiling because the business can only grow as fast as you can personally manage. Your bandwidth is the constraint.

Expensive to Fix Wrong

A full-time COO costs $250K-600K+ with equity. If you hire wrong, that's 6-12 months and six figures wasted. Too risky at this stage.

Talent Walking Away

Your best people leave because they can't get decisions made or autonomy granted. The chaos frustrates everyone, but especially top performers.

I Walked Away From $325K to Build This

Seven years as COO/Director. $325K annual package. The trajectory was clear—VP, C-suite, corner office.

But every Sunday night I'd feel the weight of another 60-hour week ahead. Another week of missing my daughters' lives. Another week where "success" meant sacrificing the things that actually mattered.

So I made a choice: I walked away. No backup plan. No safety net. Just the certainty that I couldn't keep trading time with my daughters for a title and a salary.

Here's what 20+ years in operations taught me: Most founders don't need a full-time COO. They need someone who can:

  • Build systems that run without constant founder involvement
  • Integrate AI to automate what doesn't need human judgment
  • Create accountability without adding bureaucracy
  • Give founders their time back to do what only they can do

That's exactly what we do. Fractional COO leadership that delivers full-time results without the full-time cost or commitment.

We help you reclaim 15-35+ hours weekly so you can focus on revenue-generating work while operations run smoothly in the background.

How We Get You 15-35+ Hours Back Every Week

Our four-part framework removes you as the operational bottleneck without adding overhead.

01

Operational Visibility

We audit everything: calendar, inbox, decision queues, process gaps. You can't fix what you can't see. Most founders are shocked to discover they're spending 20+ hours weekly on work that shouldn't require them.

02

AI-Powered Automation

We integrate AI to handle repetitive operational work: inbox management, calendar optimization, data analysis, reporting. The AI doesn't replace humans—it takes the wheel on tasks that drain your time without adding value.

03

Systems That Scale

We build operational infrastructure that works without you: decision frameworks, process documentation, accountability structures, KPI tracking. Your team knows what to do and when to escalate. Decisions happen without bottlenecking at your desk.

04

Strategic Partnership

This isn't consulting where we deliver a report and disappear. We embed as operators. Weekly meetings. Direct team access. Hands-on implementation. You get executive-level operational leadership without the $325K+ commitment.

90 Days to Operational Freedom

Here's exactly what happens from discovery call to systems running without you.

1

Audit (Days 1-14)

We map your operational reality

  • Calendar analysis: where your time actually goes
  • Decision queue audit: what's bottlenecked waiting for you
  • Process gap identification: where things break without your attention
  • Team capability assessment: who can handle what with proper systems
2

Approve (Days 15-30)

We build your operational blueprint

  • System design: what needs to be built and in what order
  • AI integration plan: which tasks can be automated immediately
  • Accountability structure: who owns what, how decisions escalate
  • Success metrics: how we'll measure time reclaimed and operational health
3

Move (Days 31-60)

We implement the systems

  • Deploy AI automation: inbox management, calendar optimization, reporting
  • Build decision frameworks: clear criteria for what requires you vs. the team
  • Document core processes: systems that work without tribal knowledge
  • Train your team: they learn to operate within the new structure
4

Improve (Days 61-90)

We optimize and prove the results

  • Measure time reclaimed: track actual hours back in your calendar
  • Refine what's working: iterate based on real usage and friction points
  • Expand automation: identify next wave of AI integration opportunities
  • Establish cadence: ongoing rhythms that keep operations smooth

Stop Losing Hours to Operational Chaos

Book a discovery call. We'll audit your calendar and show you exactly where 15-35+ hours are hiding.

The Real Cost of Waiting

For a $2-40M founder, your effective hourly rate is $400-1,500/hr. That means operational chaos costs you $6,000-$52,500 in opportunity cost... EVERY WEEK.

Our engagement pays for itself if we reclaim just 10 hours weekly. Most founders get 20-30 back.
