If You're Way Too Stretched.
We Can Fix That.

A Fractional Chief of Staff with AI enablement that makes your business run, without you being in the loop for way too much and often the bottleneck.

Set yourself up to have the time and headspace to focus on your people, investors and the big decisions and priorities.

Is This The Week You're Having?

You have a good strategy. Progress is slower than you need, and some of it hasn’t happened.

And to get things moving, you’re involved in too many meetings and decisions; it’s frustrating.

Your involved in way too much and it is exhausting.

It Isn't a Strategy Problem. It's An Execution Problem.

The strategy’s usually fine. You don’t fix execution problems with more strategy in the first place.

You fix them with someone who owns the boring machinery. The cadence. The follow-through. The who’s-doing-this-by-when.

The Fastest-growing Companies Already Do This.

Someone has to own execution, or the plan is just a wish.

The best tech companies worked that out years ago. They pay a fortune for Chiefs of Staff and fight over the good ones.

You don’t need an FTE; you can share talent and still get FTE output if AI Agents are part of the scope.

Force-multiply Leadership. A Fractional CoS With A Chief of Staff AI Agent.

We recommend that the scope include an AI Agent to support the CoS role and integrate with your broader AI strategy.

This is an agent that force-multiplies a Chief of Staff and CEO: it knows your strategy, your OKRs, your team structure, your operating rhythm, the decisions you’ve made, and why.

The agent has routines that surface insights, flag issues, and take a lot of the admin tasks out of your day.

The result is your CoS and the SLT invest more time in coaching people, understanding choices, making judgment calls, and building relationships.

Every Monday morning, before you start, it has already:

Read everything that happened across every team last week.
Synthesised it into a brief you can act on in fifteen minutes.
Flagged what needs your attention.
Routed everything that doesn’t.
Decisions get logged the moment they’re made.
Nothing falls through the cracks because there are no cracks; the system holds them.

Fast Forward. Enjoy An Execution Rhythm That Connects Strategy To The Work.

We optimise the operating cadence that connects your leadership decisions to people.

Weekly signal loops from every team.

A structured check-in that feeds the Agent, surfaces what’s off-track, and closes the gap between what you decided and what’s actually happening.

Experiments that generate learning, not just output.

Quarterly cycles that keep teams focused on outcomes, not activity.

The system runs. You lead.

A Job Description We Can Fine-Tune Together

What The Engagement Can Look Like

We run most clients through the same arc, at different intensities.

Agree. Meet the SLT, learn where you are, where you’re going and where the friction is, and earn the trust that the rest of the engagement depends on.

Install. The first couple of months, a few days a week. Build the operating system with AI in all of the right places, doing the right things.

Run. Then lighter, around a day a week. Run the cadence, drive the two or three priorities that matter most, keep the leadership team aligned, make board reporting sharp, and clear the blockages before they reach the CEO’s desk.

Graduate. Success depends on needing time from us and you over time, not more.

What We'll Do

Be the proxy and trusted thought partner to the CEO. In the room for the strategic, financial and people conversations, and trusted with all of them.
Translate strategy into executable plans with named owners, measurable
outcomes and honest follow-through.
Own the operating rhythm end to end. Agendas, pre-reads, decisions, accountability, the lot.
Drive your highest-priority initiatives from planning to done, and unblock the ones that are stuck.
Lead the change, not just design it. Go first, make the new way the rewarded way, and build the behaviour into the week so it survives past Monday.
Build the operating system with AI architected as a pre-thought, not an afterthought; if it’s missing, run AI enablement where it’s the right lever.
Build durable capability and a learning loop, so the system gets better after we are gone.

What The FCoS Is Accountable For

One question, asked honestly and often: did the number move? Plus an operating system that runs without you in the room, a leadership team that decides rather than reports, and a client who is measurably less dependent on you at the end than at the start.

What We Bring

Ten years or more across management consulting and senior operating roles. Credible to a CEO from the first meeting.
A track record of installing operating rhythm and turning strategy into outcomes, not just advising on it.
Fluent in OKRs and execution discipline, and allergic to theatre. We can tell a real outcome from a completion rate.
Ability to facilitate planning meetings, navigate complexity and biases to land on the right priorities in the right sequence, and have the room get behind the decisions made.
A mastery of skills like metrics modelling, experimentation, and team topologies.
Change Management skills ensure that the new is seen as rewarding and not quietly or loudly rejected.
Genuinely strong with people. High emotional intelligence, the trust-building that the role runs on, and the judgment to read a room and a CEO/founder.
Comfortable with ambiguity, low ego, high standards. Happy doing the strategic work and the unglamorous work in the same afternoon.
Discreet. We will hold sensitive things and never make them feel held loosely.
AI-fluent in your own work, and able to lead others into it.

How We'll Work

Hybrid, deliberately. We want to be part of the team, not a supplier emailing in from the outside. So you’re in the building enough to read the room, build real relationships, and earn the trust the job actually runs on, then remote for the heads-down work. Presence where it matters, not travel for its own sake.

That's a starting point. How useful would that be? What needs to change?

"Can Fractional Really Make a Dent?"

The value was never the hours. It's the system still running when we're not there.

Not a project that ends. A system that keeps getting better after we’ve gone.

Let's Grab 30 Minutes.

No deck. Bring the three things that make you mutter “why is this still not done.”

You’ll leave with some new ideas as to why and the foundations for a plan to solve it.

Questions You're Probably Asking.

On-site, off-site, or hybrid?

Hybrid, and we’re not precious about hiding why.

We want to be part of the team, not a supplier on the outside emailing in.

So we’re in the building enough to read the room, build real relationships, and earn the trust the job actually runs on.

Then remote for the heads-down work.

Presence where it matters, not travel for the sake of it.

Isn't this just an expensive consultant?

No.

A consultant hands you a report and leaves.

We own the operating rhythm, sit in your meetings, and stay until the plan is moving.

You’re hiring someone to make it happen, not to tell you what should.

How is this different from a fractional COO?

A COO runs the day-to-day.

We make the strategy land: the cadence, the priorities, the follow-through, the unblocking.

If you already have a strong COO, we make them more effective.

If you don’t, we hold the gap until you’re ready to hire one.

Won't a part-timer miss what's really going on?

That’s the risk, so we design against it.

The early months are heavier, your lead is in the room and in the messy conversations, and we build the systems that surface the truth (skip-levels, scorecards, the cadence) so it doesn’t all depend on us being there.

What does it cost?

The diagnostic is a fixed price, agreed before we start.

Anything after that is scoped to what you actually need, with no long lock-in.

You’ll always know the number before you commit to it.

How quickly would we feel it?

You get a 90-day plan inside the first three weeks.

The operating rhythm is usually in within the first couple of months.

The point of the early intensity is that you feel the difference fast.

What if it's working and we want someone full-time?

Then we’ve done our job.

We help you hire them and hand over cleanly.

We’re here to install the muscle, not to become permanent furniture.
