Executives Now
We partner with small business owners who have a great vision but are hitting operational roadblocks that are stalling their growth. Whether it’s a lack of clear processes, missing accountability, or managers who need leadership training, these 'growing pains' often prevent companies from scaling past that $20M mark.
As a Fractional COO, I step in to provide high-level leadership without the full-time overhead. I specialize in building robust SOPs, aligning KPIs to your goals, and installing the accountability mechanisms your team needs to thrive. Essentially, I handle the operational heavy lifting so you can get back to leading your company’s future.
After 17 years in executive operations, I noticed a recurring pattern. Whether scaling service firms or driving up customer satisfaction, I thrived on turning chaos into clarity by building robust SOPs and tripling efficiency.
The turning point came a few years ago. I looked at the company I was with and realized the systems were humming and the KPIs were consistently green. I had fixed everything. While stability is the goal for any owner, I realized my true passion lies in the *transformation*—the high-stakes shift from a "scrappy startup" to a "scalable enterprise."
I founded Executives Now to solve a specific problem: many $1M–$20M businesses hit a growth ceiling and need COO-level leadership, but aren't yet ready for a full-time executive hire. As a Fractional COO, I provide that "fixer" mentality and operational blueprint without the permanent overhead. I help owners reclaim their time and scale their vision by breaking through their next operational ceiling.
