Hire the Best Management Consultants in Baltimore, MD

Fractional COO | Startup Growth Consultant | Executive Coach | Scaling & Operations Expert You don’t need another generic “consultant.” You need someone who can think like a CEO, operate like a COO, and pitch like a founder who’s actually raised real money. Hi, I’m Laurie — a fractional COO/CEO, founder, and startup consultant with: 15+ years in senior leadership & operations C-suite experience across 29 startups $75M+ in funding secured for startups since 2023 (pre-seed → Series B) I partner with founders who are juggling product, people, investors, and a to-do list that never ends — and need a strategic operator to impose clarity, build systems, and get them funded. What I Help With (Core Offers) 1. Funding Readiness & Investor Story Investor-ready pitch decks (narrative, structure, visuals, and numbers that actually make sense) Funding strategy: round size, pre/post-money, dilution, and runway planning Financial models & projections that investors don’t roll their eyes at Data room prep, one-pagers, and follow-up materials Coaching for founder pitch delivery (boardrooms, demo days, and 1:1 VC calls) 2. Fractional COO / CEO Support Turn messy operations into a clear, repeatable operating system Align vision → strategy → roadmap → KPIs Build scorecards, dashboards, and accountability across the team Clean up workflows in marketing, sales, customer success, and delivery Help you move from “permanent firefighter” to “focused, decisive CEO” 3. Go-to-Market & Growth Engine Design Clarify offers, ICP, and positioning (who you serve, why it matters, what you charge) Map and optimize your growth funnel (acquisition, activation, retention) Design 30/60/90 day growth plans your team can actually execute Support with pricing strategy and packaging for B2B / B2C / subscription models Who I Typically Work With Early-stage & growth-stage startups (pre-seed to Series B) Founders & co-founders who need an operator partner, not a “task doer” Tech, Crypto, SaaS, marketplaces, online education, and services Teams who are serious about scaling and raising capital, not just playing startup If your world sounds like: “We have a real product and real traction, but our story, systems, or numbers are not where they need to be for investors or scale…” then we’re probably a great fit. What Makes Working With Me Different I’ve been in the C-suite, not just advising from the sidelines. I’ve founded and co-founded companies — I understand the emotional and financial pressure. I’ve helped secure $75M+ in funding since 2023, so I know what investors actually care about and where founders get stuck. My style is candid, strategic, and actionable: no fluff, no 80-page decks you never use. You get clear decisions, tight messaging, realistic plans, and someone who is comfortable owning the hard conversations. Ways We Can Work Together Depending on your stage and needs, we can set this up as: ✅ Funding Readiness Sprint (2–4 weeks) Audit your current deck, numbers, and story → rebuild into an investor-ready package + pitch coaching. ✅ Fractional COO / CEO Support (ongoing, part-time) Weekly strategy & ops sessions, KPI reviews, growth planning, and being your strategic partner. ✅ Project-Based Engagements Build or refine your pitch deck Create a financial model Design a GTM / growth roadmap Prepare for a raise or major investor meeting
