Youโ€™ve built a strong founder-led business โ€” but growth is still running through you. I help scaling founders remove founder dependency, build operational capacity, and create the business architecture needed to grow without chaos. As a Fractional COO and Strategic Operations Partner, I work with founders whose business is already working โ€” but the delivery, team, decisions, systems, and leadership rhythm have not yet caught up with the level of growth theyโ€™re trying to hold. Fractional COO | Strategic Operations Partner | Upwork Expert-Vetted | Top Rated | $200K+ Earned | 90%+ Job Success Most of my clients come to me when growth has started to expose the cracks behind the scenes. The business is making money. The clients are there. The opportunity is real. But the founder is still too involved in every decision, every delivery issue, every team question, every client escalation, and every moving part. That is founder dependency. And it is usually not solved by hiring another assistant, adding another tool, or writing another SOP. It requires stronger business architecture. I help founders build the operational capacity required to scale. Together, we may work on: โ€ข Founder dependency and bottleneck removal โ€ข Business architecture and operating model design โ€ข Team roles, decision rights, and accountability โ€ข Delivery systems, SOPs, and client experience โ€ข KPI dashboards and visibility systems โ€ข Pricing, packaging, retention, and margin improvement โ€ข Leadership rhythm, operating cadence, and calm CEO decision-making โ€ข Strategic priorities and execution systems for the next stage of growth This is not surface-level strategy. It is the work of making the business easier to run, easier to lead, and less dependent on the founder carrying everything. CLIENT RESULTS INCLUDE: โ€ข 10โ€“15+ hours/week freed from day-to-day operations โ€ข Stronger execution without constant founder involvement โ€ข Clearer team ownership and decision-making โ€ข Improved margins through simpler, more effective systems โ€ข Increased revenue through better pricing, positioning, delivery, and operational clarity โ€ข A business that feels structured, calm, and back under control RECENT CLIENT WORK: โ€ข Helped a scaling mental health practice remove operational bottlenecks, improve decision-making, and prepare the business for acquisition โ€ข Supported a construction business through operational restructuring, KPI visibility, and a 28.6% revenue increase within 4 months โ€ข Partnered with a data analytics agency to strengthen sales, leadership, and scalable delivery foundations โ€ข Helped a creative agency move from reactive delivery into a clearer operating structure โ€ข Supported SaaS, consulting, agency, wellness, construction, community, and expert-led businesses through growth-stage complexity HOW I WORK: Assess We identify what is actually breaking under scale: founder dependency, delivery drag, team confusion, unclear decision rights, weak visibility, pricing strain, or operational complexity. Architect We design the business architecture: roles, responsibilities, rhythms, systems, priorities, KPIs, and decision flows. Align We create the leadership and execution structure needed for the founder and team to operate with more clarity and less reactivity. Accelerate We implement what matters most so the business becomes calmer, stronger, and more scalable. WHO THIS IS FOR: This is a strong fit if: โ€ข You are a founder, CEO, consultant, agency owner, or expert-led business owner โ€ข Your business is around $500Kโ€“$5M+ revenue โ€ข Growth is happening, but it still depends too heavily on you โ€ข You want strategic ownership, not task-based support โ€ข You need someone who can see the full business model, not just isolated operations โ€ข You are ready to build the structure for your next stage of scale This is not a fit if: โ€ข You are looking for a VA, OBM, admin support, or task-based project manager โ€ข You only want someone to โ€œwrite SOPsโ€ without addressing the business model underneath โ€ข You are very early-stage and still validating your offer โ€ข You want low-cost execution rather than strategic partnership โ€ข You want coaching without operational change ABOUT ME: I bring 20 years of experience across finance, strategy, operations, consulting, and founder advisory. I have built my own 7-figure consulting business, worked with founders and CEOs across multiple industries, and generated around $300K through Upwork while being recognised as Expert-Vetted / Top 1%. My strength is seeing the full system: business model, delivery, operations, leadership, decision flow, team capacity, pricing, and growth strategy โ€” then simplifying it so performance becomes sustainable. If your business is growing but still depends too heavily on you, letโ€™s start with a focused strategy conversation.
