WHAT IS A FRACTIONAL CHIEF OF STAFF?
A fractional Chief of Staff (CoS) is a strategic partner who works with your leadership team on a part-time or project basis, delivering the expertise and support of a full-time CoS with greater flexibility and cost efficiency.
For fast-paced, high-growth startups, a fractional CoS helps streamline operations, oversee critical projects, and provide strategic guidance to ensure your business scales effectively. This role is tailored to meet the unique challenges of startups, allowing founders and executives to focus on innovation while maintaining operational clarity.

-
Operational Leader: Building and optimizing workflows, processes, and systems to support growth.
