Fractional Chief of Staff + Leadership Advisor for founders in the early chaos
Pre-seed to Series A is where vision and execution are most likely to get out of sync. I close that gap – part operator, part thought partner, part organizational architect. You stay focused on what only you can do.
FRACTIONAL COS
Execution Partner
I embed with your team and run the cross-functional work that stalls without a dedicated operator. Strategic priorities become coordinated action. You stop being the bottleneck.
Good fit: your to-do list is everyone else’s blocker – fundraise, launch, or rapid scaling underway.
LEADERSHIP ADVISORY
Thought Partner
For the decisions that don’t fit a spreadsheet. Org design, team coherence, founder performance, strategic pivots. Clear-eyed counsel with operational depth.
Good fit: navigating a pivot, building your leadership team, or hitting a ceiling you can’t quite name.
Most operators optimize systems. Most coaches optimize people. I do both – because at your stage, they’re the same challenge.
