Growth pressure without governed execution breaks companies. We help CEOs and founders convert momentum into repeatable operating machinery — as your fractional COO or fractional CIO, embedded weekly, without the full-time executive price tag.
This is not generic COO coaching. It is scale-up operating discipline from a sitting VP of Operations at a rapidly scaling GovCon small business — someone doing this work today, with enterprise-grade governance experience behind it.
| Fractional COO service | What you get |
|---|---|
| Operating Cadence & Governance | Weekly/monthly business reviews, KPI dashboards, escalation paths, decision logs, and operating rhythms that make strategy executable. |
| Scale-Up People Systems | Modernized recruiting, onboarding, HRIS, role clarity, performance management, and retention for small businesses moving fast. |
| Contract Delivery & Customer Success | Stabilized SOW/SLA execution, program reviews, CPARS readiness, corrective actions, and partner/vendor coordination that builds customer confidence. |
| Finance, Margin & Resource Discipline | Priorities translated into staffing plans, budgets, forecasts, proposal cost inputs, and margin-minded operating choices. |
| Risk, Compliance & Audit Readiness | Practical controls for FAR/DFARS, NIST/CMMC/RMF, security readiness, audit evidence, and leadership reporting. |
