How I Help Founders I work directly with founders who need owner-level thinking, not another manager or advisor to delegate to and chase afterward. I’ve built, scaled, and exited a SaaS business, and since then I’ve worked in fractional and intrapreneurial roles where founders needed someone they could trust to see the whole business, make hard decisions, and move initiatives forward without constant oversight. My role is typically to step in where founders are overloaded, stuck, or stretched thin and help turn ideas, strategies, or ignored problems into execution. ⸻ What Founders Bring Me In For Founders usually reach out when: • The business is growing or changing faster than systems and leadership can keep up • Important initiatives keep getting pushed aside because no one owns them like a founder would • Decisions are piling up and momentum is slowing • Strategy exists, but execution keeps stalling • They need someone who can operate across product, operations, revenue, and leadership without silos I’m comfortable working across ambiguity, pressure, and competing priorities, and I don’t need everything clearly defined to move forward. ⸻ How I Work With Founders Depending on the situation, I step in as a: Fractional Founder / Fractional Exec • Acting as a COO, CPO, CGO, or growth-focused executive with full autonomy to run initiatives end-to-end. Advisor or Board-Level Partner • Helping founders think through strategy, execution risk, organizational design, and decision-making at a high level. Project or Interim Leader • Owning specific initiatives that founders don’t have the bandwidth to lead themselves, from product and GTM work to operational fixes. ⸻ Areas I Commonly Support • Operations and execution across the business • Product design, functionality, and launch readiness • Sales and revenue strategy • Go-to-market planning and growth execution • Customer success and retention strategy • Scaling teams, leadership structure, and culture • Fixing what’s been avoided or allowed to drift ⸻ Founder to Founder I work best with founders who want someone they don’t have to manage. If you’re looking to offload responsibility without losing quality, clarity, or speed, my focus is to give you back bandwidth while moving the business forward.
