Fractional Leadership for When You're Carrying Too Much

Steady, experienced President/COO support that helps you scale your business, strengthen your team, and protect your own bandwidth—without the cost of a full-time executive. Growing a business often means living in a constant tension: you’ve outgrown your current structure, but you’re not yet ready for a full-time C-suite hire. You’re making more decisions than ever, managing more people, and still trying to drive strategy, culture, and results.

Our fractional and interim support provides experienced President/COO leadership, so you don’t have to carry it all alone.

Fractional and interim support is often the right fit when:

• The founder or CEO is spending too much time in operations and not enough on vision, relationships, and growth.
• You’re scaling quickly and need structure, systems, and accountability—but can’t yet justify or afford a full-time C-suite hire.
• You’re in a period of transition (new ownership, rapid growth, restructuring, or turnaround) and need experienced, calm leadership.
• The organization has outgrown its early-stage habits, and you need help building a healthy leadership team and culture.

We step in as a true operating partner—not just an advisor. We help you run the business, build the team, and create clarity.

We combine deep operating experience with a coaching mindset and a values-driven approach. That means:

• We don’t just “plug in” to make decisions—we help build your leadership capacity and your team’s capability.
• We focus on both performance and health: results, culture, and sustainable ways of working.
• We bring structure and accountability without losing empathy or adaptability.

We are values-based leaders, and we work with values-based leaders. If you have clarified your values and they are a god fit with ours, those will guide our work together. If you have not clarified your values, we will start there. 

Depending on needs, a fractional President/COO engagement might involve:

• Translating your vision into a clear operating plan and priorities.
• Building or strengthening your leadership team and clarifying roles.
• Implementing rhythms for communication, decision-making, and performance management.
• Guiding strategic initiatives (new channels, product lines, partnerships, or turnarounds).
• Improving cross-functional alignment.
• Coaching and supporting you as a leader.

Fractional and interim roles work best when there’s a clear path to the future:

• In some cases, we help you grow into the point where a full-time President/COO makes sense, then help with that hire and transition.
• In others, we design systems and develop internal leaders, so the organization is stronger and more self-sufficient when the engagement ends.

The goal isn’t to stay forever; it’s to leave your business more resilient, more focused, and better led.

• Founders and CEOs of small to mid-cap businesses (often in consumer, ecommerce, multi-channel retail, and related sectors).
• Organizations that have grown beyond the “everyone does everything” stage and need structure.
• Leadership teams that want both improved performance and a healthy, accountable culture.
• Leaders who care about how results are achieved.
