Fractional Chief of Staff | Generalist with depth
When you're pre-seed to Series A, you don't need different specialists.
You need someone who can jump between building your financial model, fixing your board deck, and setting up your hiring process - all in the same week.
Stop getting distracted by operational complexity. I take the big projects and problems off your plate so you can focus on what only you can do.
Make considered decisions, faster. Explore challenges, evaluate options, and define actions with someone who gets the full picture.
Build the right processes for where you are now. I set up systems that work for your current stage, not over-engineered solutions that you'll outgrow anyway.
I get up to speed in hours, not days.
I turn a vague "we need help with..." into concrete plans with options.
Then I execute, while keeping you in the loop.
You stay in control. I take on the project, but you guide the strategic direction. This is collaboration, not outsourcing.
Get sh*t done, fast. Send me a brief on Monday, I'll have a plan with options by Tuesday. Execution starts immediately.
Everything connects. Your fundraising strategy affects your hiring plan which impacts your communications approach. I see the whole picture, so nothing falls through the cracks.
