why a fractional COO
The most frequent use of a fractional COO typically occurs in small to mid-sized companies, startups, or organizations experiencing significant growth or transformation.
Here are some common scenarios where businesses commonly employ a fractional COO:
- Growth Phases

Organizations going through transitions, such as mergers, acquisitions, or pivots in business models, benefit from a fractional COO’s expertise in managing change effectively. - Cost Management
Startups and small businesses that need executive-level expertise but cannot afford a full-time COO find a fractional COO a cost-effective alternative. - Strategic Projects
Companies needing specialized leadership for specific strategic projects or initiatives may engage a fractional COO to lead these efforts without expanding their permanent leadership team. - Operational Streamlining
Organizations looking to improve efficiency and streamline operations can benefit from the operational acumen of a fractional COO to identify areas for improvement and implement best practices. - Expertise Gaps
