Fractional Chief
Operating Officer
Fractional Executives are leaders who take up a part-time position in a C-suite capacity. Commonly referred to as a "CxO" such as COO, CSO, CFO, CIO, CHRO. Fractional Leadership is the practice of leveraging external experience to fill leadership gaps in a business. Many small to mid-sized businesses and firms have begun to explore this option as they emerge post-pandemic. The fractional approach is both cost effective and necessary for many firms to remain competitive.
A fractional COO bridges the gap in a firm's daily operations as well as aiding in the firm's ability to grow and scale. We offer this service as an interim position, part-time or in facilitating with a transition from one executive to another. Before any engagement, an assessment of the business needs is conducted to better understand the scope and specific needs. We'll then tailor an engagement for the firm's specific needs and goals.

In a fractional capacity the full scope of this role is tailored to the firm's specific needs, goals and current management makeup.
