I build revenue and operational systems that scale - with speed, precision, and investor-aligned strategy.
As a fractional Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and COO, I work with startups, scaling companies, and PE/VC-backed ventures to diagnose bottlenecks, build systems, and unlock growth. I don’t just create strategy. I execute it, hands-on, with measurable results.
⸻
What I Do Best:
• GTM strategy, sales system architecture, and pipeline design
• CRM setup, outbound engines, lead gen, and automation infrastructure
• RevOps dashboards, funnel visibility, KPI modeling, and team accountability
• Operational scale: org structure, process design, automation, and cost reduction
• Product + buyer alignment: sales feedback loops, onboarding, and UX consulting
• Investor-aligned growth plans: building for cashflow, fundraising, or exit
⸻
Proven Across Multiple Sectors:
• For a B2B software platform, I built the entire go-to-market infrastructure from scratch: CRM, outbound sequences, scraped lead enrichment, email drips, and sales onboarding. This resulted in a 1,000%+ increase in qualified inbound leads in under 4 months.
• For an HR tech company, I identified key product and onboarding issues, stabilized adoption, and brought in a technical partner to revamp UI, fix system outages, and align dev sprints to customer needs.
• For a staffing and recruiting firm, I launched an inside sales team, created outbound frameworks, and implemented a CRM-based workflow that more than doubled MRR in 6 months.
• For a real estate investment group, I led fundraising strategy, investor comms, and built a sales funnel that helped raise multi-7-figure capital in under 90 days.
• For multiple consumer brands and CPG ventures, I designed growth systems blending paid acquisition, lifecycle marketing, and lean sales processes to convert high-ticket inbound leads.
⸻
Career Highlights:
• $500M+ in total lifetime sales across tech, real estate, and capital raises
• Scaled SaaS ARR 300% YoY with full-stack GTM rebuild
• Closed enterprise deals up to $40M+ with Fortune 500 buyers
• Built and led 100+ rep sales orgs across 3 industries
• Cut churn to <5% through onboarding and CX optimization
• 4× enterprise pipeline growth in 90 days via outbound and inbound systems
• Managed technical transitions, system audits, and team integrations post-M&A
⸻
Why It Works:
I blend deep revenue experience as a multi-time sales exec with operational firepower as a former founder/operator, and a capital lens from my work in venture capital and private equity. I know what buyers respond to, what investors expect, and how to engineer systems that support both.
If you’re looking for someone who can step in, uncover the root issues, and build the revenue engine your business needs to scale, I’m that guy.

You shouldn't be hearing about financial problems at the deadline. You should be equipped to see them coming.
Running a business across borders, or simply trying to get your finances truly under control, demands more than a bookkeeper. It demands a senior finance partner who handles the complexity so you can focus on growth.

Most businesses don’t have a strategy problem.
They have an execution problem.
The founder has ten priorities. The leadership team has fifteen. Everyone is busy. Slack is buzzing. Meetings are happening. Progress feels slower than it should.
At some point, somebody has to connect the dots.
That’s usually where I come in.
I work as a Fractional COO, Chief of Staff, and Strategic Operator, helping founders and leadership teams turn ambitious ideas into operating businesses.
Over the last 15+ years, I’ve worked inside startups, venture-backed fintechs, Fortune 500 companies, consulting firms, banks, healthcare organizations, and public companies. I’ve helped launch products, lead transformations, scale teams, manage crises, improve operations, raise capital, and occasionally serve as the adult in the room when things started getting weird.
A few highlights:
• Built and scaled a VC-backed fintech platform serving 50,000+ users
• Led operations for BlackRock’s Innovation Hub and ETF Platform Innovation organization
• Served as Chief of Staff to the Head of Liquidity at Silicon Valley Bank during both hypergrowth and the bank’s collapse
• Led transformation programs at Capital One that generated more than $30M in annualized savings
• Worked directly with CEOs, founders, boards, product leaders, engineers, operators, investors, and customers
Translation:
I’ve spent most of my career sitting at the intersection of strategy, product, operations, and execution.
What I Help Clients Do
• Build operating systems that create clarity and accountability
• Launch new products and services
• Improve execution across teams
• Design KPIs, OKRs, dashboards, and management routines
• Stand up PMOs, project plans, and governance structures
• Lead cross-functional strategic initiatives
• Evaluate new business opportunities and growth strategies
• Build commercialization and go-to-market plans
• Create board decks, investor updates, and executive communications
• Act as a trusted thought partner to founders and executives
How I Work
I ramp quickly.
I ask a lot of questions.
I focus on root causes instead of symptoms.
I don’t believe in creating complexity to justify consulting fees.
And I believe that most organizations already have the talent they need. They just need better alignment, better decision-making, and a clearer path forward.
My best clients are usually dealing with one of four situations:
• Growth is creating chaos
• A critical initiative is stalled
• The team is busy but not aligned
• The founder is carrying too much of the business alone
If that’s where you are, I’d be happy to help.
And if I’m not the right fit, I’ll probably tell you that too. There are enough consultants in the world already.

"With a comprehensive background in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), Natalie Roberts brings years of integration experience to drive a successful integration of all workstreams." I am a seasoned professional dedicated to driving strategic growth and operational excellence across diverse industries. As a Fractional CEO and COO, I bring strategic leadership and hands-on operational expertise to businesses at critical growth stages, offering tailored solutions that align with their vision and objectives.
I provide one-to-one executive and business coaching, including writing business plans that include an exit. I review and assess ones that were done but need to be refreshed (yearly is the norm). I audit integrations to ensure they are on track to the success KPI's. I am strong people coach and motivator. I currently mentor at an accelerator, so I see what brings value to run a small business and grow it to be ready for a significant exit.
I have run global integrations with multiple work streams - Agile. I manage stakeholders very well and ensure the messages are received on all fronts.
My work is a passion as I love to help others succeed!

Many business owners and founders are excellent at what they do but too often are drowning in everything else. Operations that made sense at $1M start breaking at $3M. A team that worked great with 5 people struggles at 15. And when it's time to grow, raise money, or sell those cracks become very expensive.
I help owners fix that before it costs them.
I bring an unusual combination to the table: I've run businesses from the inside as an owner and executive, including serving as VP and General Manager with full P&L responsibility and 9 direct reports in a middle market, family owned company. I currently work as an M&A advisor on transactions up to $25M. That means I see your business the way a buyer, investor, or growth partner would, not just the way an operator does. That perspective changes everything about where we focus and what we prioritize.
What I do:
Identify what's actually breaking — not just the symptoms, but the structural issues underneath them
Build clean, scalable systems your team can follow without you babysitting every process
Improve margins through smarter cost control, workflow redesign, and accountability structures
Prepare businesses for growth events: a capital raise, a partnership, an acquisition, or a sale
Step in as a Fractional COO when you need an experienced operator in your corner without the full-time overhead
Coach individuals and leadership teams on performance, communication, and career trajectory
Who I work best with:
Owners of small and lower middle market businesses — typically $1M to $25M — who are stretched thin, hitting a growth ceiling, or getting ready for a major transition. If you're preparing to sell, bring on a partner, or simply build something that doesn't fall apart when you step away, that's exactly where I operate.
You will find me direct, calm, and results focused. I don't disappear after the kickoff call but I stay involved until the work is actually done.
If any of that sounds like what you need, let's talk.

Proven Sales & Lead Generation Strategies for B2B Brands (Industrial, SaaS & Manufacturing)
Most companies don’t actually have a marketing problem.
They have a clarity problem.
Your messaging may be too technical, too product-led, too service-focused, or too close to what everybody else in your industry is saying. And in today’s crowded marketplace, you only have a few seconds to capture attention before prospects move on.
If potential clients can’t quickly understand:
• what you do
• who you help
• why you’re different
• and why they should care
you lose them fast. That’s where strategy changes everything.
Whether your business needs stronger positioning, better lead generation, trade show strategy, LinkedIn visibility, email campaigns, case studies, branding direction, website improvements, sales enablement tools, or a more cohesive marketing strategy overall, the goal is the same:
Create momentum that drives measurable business growth.
🐝 ME:
Are you ready to work with a strategic marketing partner who understands how to connect sales strategy, messaging, branding, lead generation, and marketing execution into one cohesive growth system?
For close to 20 years, I’ve helped companies strengthen positioning, improve messaging, increase visibility, support sales growth, and create marketing systems designed to generate real revenue momentum.
This work goes far beyond basic marketing execution.
It’s where sales consulting meets marketing strategy and execution.
My expertise often includes:
• Trade show and experiential marketing strategy
• Booth engagement campaigns and lead generation concepts
• LinkedIn thought leadership and content strategy
• Messaging and positioning refinement
• Email marketing campaigns
• Website conversion strategy and direction
• Customer case studies and testimonials
• Brand development and strategic direction
• Sales enablement tools and one-pagers
• Interactive marketing concepts and campaign development
My campaigns and creative concepts are often copied by my clients' competitors after they gain traction in the market, especially within niche B2B and industrial industries where standing out is difficult and truly differentiated marketing is rare.
When your messaging, branding, campaigns, and customer experience are strong enough to influence the market, competitors eventually start following your lead instead of setting it.
I’ve also helped clients earn recognition and top rankings in independent industry magazine advertising studies, proving that strong creative and strategic messaging still influence buyer attention and purchasing behavior.
🐝 YOU:
Would you like someone on your team who is strategic, creative, highly responsive, collaborative, and genuinely invested in helping your business grow?
The best partnerships happen with companies that are growth-minded, decisive, open to creative thinking, and ready to build momentum instead of continuing to throw money at disconnected marketing tactics.
Because finding the right strategic partner is not easy.
Many of my clients stay with me for years because my approach is highly collaborative, fast-moving, and focused on creating real-world business results instead of vanity metrics.
If I don’t believe I can create strong results for your business, I’ll tell you honestly upfront.
🐝 US:
When strategy, messaging, branding, marketing, and sales alignment finally start working together, everything becomes easier:
• sales conversations improve
• lead quality improves
• visibility grows
• referrals increase
• momentum compounds
🏆 A FEW RECENT CLIENT WIN$ 🏆
⭐ Helped develop trade show campaigns that increased booth engagement and lead generation
⭐ Created high-conversion messaging and sales materials for industrial and energy companies
⭐ Built LinkedIn and email campaigns tied directly to revenue opportunities
⭐ Helped companies refine positioning to compete more effectively in crowded B2B markets
⭐ Created interactive marketing concepts designed to educate prospects while capturing qualified leads
⭐ Helped businesses strengthen messaging so prospects immediately understood their value and differentiation
⭐ Helped clients earn recognition and top rankings in independent industry advertising studies for standout print advertising campaigns
Because the companies that stand out are rarely the companies doing the most marketing.
They’re the companies communicating the clearest value with the strongest strategy behind it.
Many of my clients tell me they wish they had hired me sooner because once the messaging, positioning, and strategy finally align, growth starts feeling far more natural and far less forced.
If you’re looking for a highly strategic creative partner who understands both sales and marketing, thinks beyond disconnected tactics, and knows how to turn expertise into compelling campaigns that create measurable momentum, let’s connect soon.
To Your Success,
Cheryl Heppard (rhymes with Leopard)
