Engagements
How I Work
I offer four ways to work together, designed to match where your business is and how much support you need. Most engagements start with a conversation about which option would be best suited to your goals.
Fractional COO
Ongoing engagement. Typically 1 to 3 days per week. Three to twelve month minimum, scaled to stage.
Best for founder-led businesses that need an operating partner embedded in the team. I run the planning and OKR cycle, chair or contribute to the exec rhythm, own the operating reporting, and take direct accountability for one or two priority initiatives, typically the things that are stuck because no one in the leadership team has the bandwidth to own them.
This is the role of a COO, sized to a business that isn't yet ready to hire one full-time.

Best for pre-revenue and early-stage founders who have an idea, a thesis, or early traction, and need an experienced operator to help shape it into something they can actually run. We work together intensively to build the operating plan: the business model, the financial model, the go-to-market approach, and the first version of your operating cadence.
You leave with what you need to run the business, raise capital, or hire your first team, and a clear view of what to do next.
Founder Sprint
Two to four weeks. Fixed scope and fixed fee.

Operating Diagnostic
Four to six weeks. Fixed scope and fixed fee.
Best for founders with a business that's working but starting to strain, usually somewhere between early traction and Series B. I work through your operating model, planning and meeting rhythm, financial and commercial reporting, team structure, decision-making, and key operational risks. Conversations with your leadership team, a review of your existing artefacts, and a few working sessions
You leave with a written assessment of the current state, a prioritised list of what to fix and in what order, as well as the support needed to begin mobilising it.

Best for businesses that have a specific transformation in front of them and need senior operator capacity to lead it. Common engagements include building out a revenue operations function, preparing the business for a capital raise or due diligence process, designing a new board reporting pack, professionalising the business for sale, or running an operations transformation.
Scoped against a defined outcome.
Targeted Projects
Eight to sixteen weeks. Defined deliverable.
