Fractional COO

A Fractional COO (Chief Operating Officer) is like having a part-time or shared executive who helps run the day-to-day operations of your business. They bring their expertise to improve efficiency, manage teams, and streamline processes, but you don't need to hire them full-time. This can save you money and give you access to high-level leadership on an as-needed basis, which is great for small or medium-sized businesses.

It's like having a seasoned captain steering your ship, even if it's just a few days a week.
