Chief of Staff & Strategic Operating Partner
For Founder-Led Companies and Executive Teams
I serve as Chief of Staff to founders and executive leaders at critical inflection points where product-market fit exists but internal structure cannot support what comes next. Operating fractionally or full-time, I translate strategic vision into executable reality.
Book a Discovery Call
Your vision is clear — my job is to make it inevitable.
As your Chief of Staff, I own three things: translating strategy into operational reality, integrating cross-functional execution, and driving critical initiatives that don't fit elsewhere.
The result: leadership capacity expands, decisions move faster, and growth becomes systematic rather than reactive.
Who This Is For
You might be:
- A founder who has achieved product-market fit but now spends more time in the business than on it
- An agency or creative team generating demand you cannot scale to meet
- A startup past the scrappy phase, where informal coordination is now a liability
- An enterprise leader with a mission-critical initiative that lacks the right internal owner
Is This the Right Time?
Three signals that you're ready.
The Situation
You've moved beyond the scrappy startup phase. Cracks are showing: dropped priorities, reactive fire-fighting, productive friction turning unproductive. The business has outgrown its operating model.
The Readiness
You're prepared to give a strategic partner real authority — not just access to meetings, but ownership of specific decisions, initiatives, and the operating cadence. You want change executed, not recommendations in a deck.
The Fit
You value structure that enables performance, not bureaucracy that slows it. You're willing to evolve how you operate, delegate what you currently own, and commit to an operating rhythm that drives accountability.
The Solutions I Provide
When growth outpaces structure.
Execution Feels Harder Than It Should
Your vision is clear, but execution is inconsistent. Projects stall, priorities compete, and progress feels slower or more chaotic than it should. You need someone who can restore momentum and make execution reliable.
Alignment Is Missing Across People & Priorities
Your team isn't fully aligned on what matters most. Communication gaps slow decisions, and leadership isn't pulling in the same direction. You need clarity on priorities and a way to get everyone moving together.
The Business Lacks Operational Infrastructure to Scale
Whether you're growing quickly or stuck despite effort, the structure isn't there. Systems are inconsistent, roles are unclear, and too much still depends on the founder. The issue is the same: lack of structure, focus, and operational clarity.
Engagement Models
Ways to work together.
Chief of Staff (Fractional or Full-Time)
Operate as an extension of your leadership team with decision-making authority. I own your operating cadence, pressure-test strategic decisions, drive cross-functional integration, and lead the initiatives that determine your next stage of growth.
Typical engagement: 3-6 month initial commitment, with option to extend or transition to permanent role.
Strategic Advisory
Ongoing counsel for founders and executives who need a thinking partner on high-stakes decisions. You bring the decision; I bring structured frameworks, blind-spot identification, and accountability.
Typical engagement: monthly or bi-weekly sessions with asynchronous access between calls.
Critical Path Projects
Lead defined initiatives with clear outcomes: leadership team alignment, operational restructuring, revenue operations design, board-readiness preparation.
Time-bound, outcome-focused engagement.
Case Studies
Featured engagements.
Financial Services
“I want to hire you full-time, but we're bootstrapped.”
The Impact
$20B+ in assets convened. 7-figure deals closed on-site. Repeatable revenue-generating event launched. Operational foundation for capital-efficient scale.
The Situation
A financial engineer at the intersection of wealth management and technology had product-market fit but lacked operational infrastructure. They needed C-suite execution without full-time overhead.
The Engagement
As fractional COO, I developed a growth strategy for their portfolio solutions platform and orchestrated an elite Founder's Event that functioned as both revenue driver and community asset. The event brought together principals representing $20B in assets and generated 7 figures in business on the spot. Beyond the event, I built operational systems, strategic processes, and growth infrastructure that positioned the business to scale without proportional cost increases.
The Result
A bootstrapped business with the structure, visibility, and systems of a funded company, plus a repeatable event model that drives both revenue and strategic relationships.
Ghostwriting Agency
“We got bombarded with business we can't handle ourselves.”
The Impact
$150K+ in revenue savings. 6-figure new business pipeline closed. Leadership freed from execution. Predictable operations at 3x volume.
The Situation
A specialized ghostwriting agency serving high-profile founders had achieved product-market fit too successfully. The founding team was drowning in execution, relationships were straining, and growth was becoming a threat rather than an opportunity.
The Engagement
As fractional Chief of Staff, I restructured operations from chaos to predictability. I designed automation for back-end workflows, orchestrated relationships across ghostwriters, clients, and referral partners, and implemented financial systems that identified $150K+ in recoverable revenue and cost inefficiencies. With operations stabilized, I freed leadership to step into their highest-value role: being the face of the business. This positioning shift directly contributed to closing 6 figures in new business within 45 days.
The Result
The agency now operates at 3x the volume with the same core team and founders who spend their time on growth, not firefighting.
Marketing Agency
“We need strategic clarity to scale what we've built.”
The Impact
Refined growth vertical for executive engagements and strategic partnerships. Clearer positioning for long-term expansion. Stronger alignment between relationships and revenue.
The Situation
The founders were expanding beyond traditional marketing retainers into customized, relationship-based engagements with executives and technology companies. The long-term vision was clear, but refining how this vertical would operate, scale, and integrate into the broader business required strategic focus.
The Engagement
As strategic advisor and executive coaching partner, I helped develop and refine this emerging vertical. We worked through positioning, long-term vision, and alignment between high-level relationships and sustainable growth. I provided coaching, strategic perspective, and introductions within executive and technology circles to clarify how the business could mature and scale.
The Result
The founders gained strategic clarity on how to structure custom executive engagements, venture partnerships, and collaborative opportunities. The engagement strengthened their long-term expansion strategy with a vision rooted in intentional relationships, sustainable growth, and meaningful impact.
What Others Say
“She quickly identifies where systems are breaking down and brings immediate clarity, focus, and momentum.”
“A true COS/COO who wears every hat with ease. She was invaluable to me as a busy CEO.”
“She introduces efficiency and scalability without ever over-managing or over-complicating the project.”
“A powerful thought partner with a rare mix of strategic thinking and total interpersonal finesse.”
About Me
I operate as Chief of Staff to founders and executive leaders navigating the gap between product-market fit and sustainable scale.
Background
12+ years leading cross-functional initiatives across financial services, startups, and founder-led businesses spanning fractional Chief of Staff roles, strategic advisory, and operational leadership. Track record includes 7-figure revenue impact, capital-efficient scaling, and leadership team development.
Operating Model
My work integrates three disciplines: strategic partnership (pressure-testing decisions before they're made), operational integration (owning the rhythm that turns plans into outcomes), and critical initiative leadership (driving the work that doesn't fit anywhere else but must get done). I build authority through outcomes and operate effectively whether embedded full-time or engaged fractionally.
Evolution
The Chief of Staff role often expands. Engagements have evolved into permanent operating partner roles when fit and timing align. I remain open to both fractional and full-time opportunities where the mission, leadership, and growth trajectory warrant deeper commitment.
Outside of work, you can find me cheering on my daughter's nail-biting soccer matches, on a bistro patio with a great book, out on the trails with my very lovable and energetic puppy, Rose, or at the market selecting fresh ingredients for whatever I'm cooking next.
