Frequently Asked Questions

  • A fractional chief of staff is an experienced strategist and operator who works for you part-time on an hourly rate or flat fee retainer. Fractional COO/CoSs often help organizations design systems and processes, achieve growth, execute strategy, or raise new capital.

  • The primary benefits of a fractional chief of staff include:

    Strategic alignment: I help align teams and projects with your business goals so that everyone is working toward the same direction.

    Operational efficiency: I execute tasks that would otherwise eat up your time, allowing you to focus on high-impact activities. If I'm doing my work well, I should be saving you at least 15 hours each week.

    Improved communication: I act as a hub for internal communication, ensuring better information flow across teams.

    Project oversight: I manage and oversee key initiatives from beginning to end, collaborating with various stakeholders to execute successfully.

    Decision support: I provide data-driven insights and analyses to support you in making informed decisions.

  • If the bullets below resonate with you, you likely need a CoS:

    • Struggling to find time for critical priorities

    • Stalled and often reacting to fire drills

    • Missing the support you need to think strategically and executive

    • Spending time on tasks that exhaust your energy

    • Becoming a decision bottleneck

  • Hiring a full-time chief of staff can cost upwards of $300k when considering salary, benefits, and time spent interviewing and recruiting. The fractional model is typically more cost-effective, especially when considering you're only paying for expert support when you need it.

  • Onboarding is comprehensive, so we can deep dive into your company's mission, values, and goals. I embed into the company, instead of working from afar, and regular check-ins ensure continued alignment.

  • Of course! The fractional model offers flexibility -- whether your business is scaling or facing unforeseen challenges, my support can adjust to meet your specific needs at any given time.

  • Most founders and CEOs eventually need a full-time CoS. I'm happy to help source, interview, and onboard your next CoS to ensure a seamless transition.
