Quick Answers
What exactly do you do as a fractional Chief of Staff?
I’m the operational architect that turns strategy into execution: operating rhythm design, cross-functional project leadership, decision architecture, and bottleneck elimination—so leaders lead and teams deliver.
How is this different from a COO or an EA?
COO owns functions. EA handles logistics. I bridge strategy ↔ execution across the whole org: priorities → plans → meetings → metrics—then coach your team to own it.
What does the first 30/90/180 days look like?
30: priorities, meeting architecture, decision protocols. 90: playbooks, metrics, faster decisions. 180: scalable systems, proactive ops, leadership capacity.
On-site or remote?
Primarily remote (efficient + flexible) with targeted on-site sessions for workshops, offsites, or critical inflection points.
What outcomes should we expect?
+20–30 hrs/month CEO time back, 40% faster decisions, 85%+ OKR attainment, and up to 3× cross-functional throughput.

Details (If You Like Details)
What does success look like by 6 months? +
Systems run without constant intervention; teams move proactively; leadership focuses on strategy. The org has muscle memory for good decisions & execution.
Do you replace leaders or create “shadow management”? +
No. I install clear ownership (RACI), decision logs, and handoffs—then coach your team to own the system so dependency drops, not rises.
