I provide embedded Fractional Chief Operating Officer (COO) services for healthcare, public health, and human services organizations that need senior-level operational leadership without the cost of a full-time executive hire. It's my most flagship, highest-touch service, structured as a recurring monthly engagement rather than a project.
As your Fractional COO, I integrate directly with your leadership team to provide hands-on oversight of strategy execution, operational systems, performance management, workforce planning, and organizational infrastructure. My engagements typically involve approximately 25-30 hours of monthly delivery time per client and are structured for minimum 6-12 month terms, consistent with standard fractional executive engagement norms, with renewals common among mission-aligned clients.
This service is the right fit if you're stabilizing day-to-day operations, preparing for growth, navigating leadership transition, or need consistent operational decision-making support at the executive level without expanding permanent headcount.
What sets me apart: deep specialization in regulated, outcomes-driven healthcare and human services environments; an integration-level engagement (not advisory-only) with direct operational ownership; a predictable, recurring structure that supports long-term partnership over transactional consulting; and founder-led delivery backed by direct healthcare operations and program management experience.
