Cross-Functional Leadership That Delivers 3-5x ROI

I specialize in bridging departmental silos to deliver measurable results for businesses ready to invest in sustainable growth. My approach combines hands-on implementation with strategic oversight across marketing, development, finance, and operations.

Unlike traditional consultants who only provide recommendations, I execute alongside your team to implement systems, optimize processes, and drive initiatives that consistently deliver 3-5x ROI on your investment.

How It Works

The Fractional COO Partnership

A structured approach to delivering measurable operational excellence for your business.

  • 1. Strategic Assessment

    We begin with a comprehensive operational assessment to identify inefficiencies, growth blockers, and opportunities. I'll analyze your systems, team structure, and processes to create a prioritized roadmap of improvements with expected ROI.

  • 2. Implementation & Execution

    I'll work hands-on to implement the highest-impact improvements, whether that's streamlining workflows, implementing new systems, or restructuring teams. My approach is both strategic and tactical - I don't just advise, I execute.

  • 3. Leadership & Team Development

    As your fractional COO, I'll provide executive leadership to your operational teams, mentor key staff, and help build the right organizational structure. I'll also identify and help recruit talent for critical operational roles as needed.

  • 4. Measurement & Optimization

    We'll track key metrics to measure the impact of our work, with regular reviews to ensure we're achieving the expected ROI. This data-driven approach allows us to continuously refine our strategy and maximize results for your business.

How We Work Together

Practical approaches to breaking down silos

Is This Right For You?

Our clients typically see 3-5x returns on their investment. I specialize in bridging departmental silos and applying cross-functional expertise to deliver these results. My approach works best for businesses that recognize the value of breaking down operational silos and are ready to invest in sustainable growth.

We're NOT a fit if:

  • You're looking for a quick fix without addressing root causes
  • Your business isn't ready to invest at least $10K in operational improvements
  • You're looking for quick fixes rather than sustainable operational improvements
  • You need a specific role in just one department rather than cross-functional expertise

Every engagement includes:


  • Cross-functional leadership that bridges departmental silos
  • Measurable KPIs and ROI tracking for every initiative
  • Hands-on implementation support, not just strategy
  • Real-time project dashboard with complete visibility
