Fractional COO
Building self-managing leadership teams that execute and make decisions at the right level — so the CEO can work on the business, not just in it.
What SCI's Fractional COO Service Delivers
SCI's Fractional COO service builds a self-managing leadership team that executes and makes decisions at the right level — so the CEO can work on the business rather than in the business. For non-EOS and pre-EOS companies.
I partner with you to ensure your vision is executed by leading weekly meetings, mentoring Leadership Team members, and building systems and processes that hit targeted revenue, margin, or other key business goals. Concurrent implementation of a 7SG™ X-Ray is highly recommended.
What's Included
- Weekly leadership meeting facilitation
- Leadership Team mentoring & development
- Systems and process development
- Revenue, margin, and KPI management
- Strategic initiative planning & execution
- Turnaround and crisis management
Ideal For
- Founders or CEOs handling everything themselves
- Companies unable to afford a full-time COO
- PE acquisitions needing self-managing orgs
- Companies in turnaround or crisis needing immediate operational leadership
- Companies that have plateaued and need the operational infrastructure to break through to the next level
- Founders who are ready to scale and want an experienced operator to build the organization around that vision
- Companies preparing to hire a full-time COO
Particularly valuable for: Founders and CEOs who are handling both the visionary and operational roles simultaneously, companies experiencing rapid growth that has outpaced their management infrastructure, PE-backed acquisitions that need a self-managing leadership team established quickly, and businesses navigating a leadership transition or preparing to scale to the next stage of growth.

Working with Companies Anywhere
SCI is based in Chattanooga and primarily serves companies across the Southeast — but geography isn't a barrier for the right engagement. I work with select clients outside the region using a hybrid model that preserves the in-person relationships that matter most without requiring an on-site presence every week.
How it works: the engagement starts with an in-person introduction at your location. Weekly leadership meetings run remotely. Quarterly and annual planning sessions are conducted in-person — either at your site or at a neutral location. The structure keeps costs reasonable while maintaining the kind of direct, face-to-face access that makes operational leadership effective.
If you're outside the Southeast and wondering whether this could work for your company, start the conversation. The fit call is free and there's no obligation.
