A full-time Chief of Staff hire typically runs $150,000–$220,000 in base salary, plus benefits, equity, and a 90–180 day ramp before they’re useful. You’re also adding headcount, management overhead, and the risk that they leave.

A fractional engagement gives you immediate embedded context, no ramp time, no overhead, no equity conversation, and a 30-day out if the fit isn’t right. For portfolios that don’t require a full-time strategic operator, it’s the sharper move.

A fractional COO typically works with single-business owners who need systems building, team management, and departmental alignment—20–40 hours of hands-on operational work per month.

A fractional Chief of Staff at the portfolio level works with owner-operators managing multiple entities who need strategic coordination across franchise locations, real estate holdings, investments, and board commitments—with the discretion and judgment to make decisions across the portfolio without escalating everything.

Virtual assistants and executive assistants are essential. They manage tasks, keep the wheels turning, and give you space to breathe. A fractional Chief of Staff goes beyond execution. We lead it.

You don’t delegate to me. I run alongside you—clearing blockers, holding context, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Both.

Sometimes you know exactly what you want—you just need someone to execute it without hand-holding. I can do that.

Sometimes you know something needs to happen, but you’re not sure what the right approach is. I can assess, recommend, and then execute.

Most often, it’s a mix—you have the vision, I design the play, and then I run it. Either way, it gets done. That’s the point.

Two. That’s it.

Depth over volume. For both of us.

Yes. Life integration is a core part of how I work. I coordinate domestic travel (business and personal), manage family logistics, oversee household projects, handle gifting, milestones, and VIP recognition, and take care of high-effort personal tasks that keep you from focusing on strategic priorities. For international travel, I work alongside your travel agent of choice. For events, I coordinate alongside your planner of choice, so you’re never the one managing the details. Your business and your life aren’t separate, and I don’t treat them that way.

These are included in all fractional Chief of Staff engagements.

My vetted team handles email marketing strategy, campaign deployment, and website maintenance. You have one point of contact and one standard of quality — not multiple vendors to manage.

Exact scope is tailored during our Fit Call. You’ll be involved in strategic decisions, but I own the execution from concept to delivery.

No. My role is to lead above your team, not manage them day-to-day. I provide strategic oversight, coordinate cross-functional initiatives, and ensure alignment, but I don’t handle daily team management, performance reviews, or HR functions.

I work best with founders who already have capable teams but need someone to hold the strategic context, drive execution, and keep everything coordinated across the portfolio.

Not required, but most of my clients do have some administrative support in place. My role isn’t to replace an assistant. It’s to lead above them, providing strategic oversight and operational execution across your portfolio. If you don’t have administrative support yet, I can help you source, vet, and onboard the right person as part of our early work together.
