What I offer
Fractional Chief Operating Officer
Startups partner with me to set up to scale fast. Founders are busy. They often find it difficult to let go, so they may focus on things they’re good at and are critical for growth: building product, new customers and fundraising. A seasoned COO is a safe pair of hands to delegate to and let go.
