The problem isn't effort. It's that execution still routes through you.
Your team is capable. The work is getting done. But every decision, every cross-team handoff, every stalled project eventually lands back on your desk - because there's no operational layer between you and everything else. That's not a people problem. That's a structure problem.
I step in as your Fractional Chief of Staff and become that layer. I own the coordination between leadership, teams, and execution so your business runs consistently without you acting as the central point of alignment.
What I own inside your business:
I run the system that keeps your company moving - cross-functional execution and project oversight across departments, internal operating rhythms including weekly and leadership cadences, team alignment and accountability structures, communication flow so decisions don't bottleneck at the top, active removal of recurring operational breakdowns before they escalate, and documentation systems so execution doesn't depend on any one person's memory.
The work isn't a task list. It's the system that makes every other task list work.
How I operate:
Embedded in your leadership and operational workflows each week. Coordinating directly with team leads and stakeholders so you're not in the middle. Maintaining continuous visibility across active priorities so nothing stalls quietly. Building structure so your decisions translate into execution without follow-up from you.
The goal is simple: your business stops depending on your constant presence to function.
What changes in the first 60-90 days:
You stop being the default coordinator for cross-team work. Projects move through the company without repeated follow-ups from you. Your team operates on clear systems instead of verbal alignment. Internal communication becomes structured instead of reactive. You shift from operational involvement back into strategic decision-making.
The business becomes less dependent on your constant input to function.
Who this is for:
Founders and CEOs at 10-100 person companies who are scaling and have become the bottleneck - not in strategy, but in coordination, communication, and execution flow. Especially effective in businesses with multiple teams, distributed staff, or increasing operational complexity.
Background:
I've spent 11 years building the operational infrastructure that keeps companies running - inside a U.S.-headquartered global firm with teams across the U.S., U.K., and LATAM. I've built cross-functional execution systems from scratch, designed company-wide accountability structures, and advised executive leadership directly on strategy and operations. I also hold a mediation certification, which means I catch and resolve the interpersonal and team-level friction that quietly slows execution inside growing companies - the part most ops hires miss entirely.
Fully remote, U.S. time-zone aligned, and set up for international contracting with no complexity on your end.
Not sure if this is the right tier?
If you need focused project execution rather than full operational partnership, the Operations Execution Retainer at $4,500/month is the right starting point - and a natural path into this engagement.
