I fix the gap between "we have a plan" and the plan actually happening.
GreenGranite Solutions helps start-ups and mid-market companies scale, with an operator, not a slide deck. 31 years of leadership, 2–4 clients at a time.
You don't need a full-time hire to close the gap: you need the right amount of one.
- The company is too early or small to hire a full-time COO.
- You need a short-term solution to run the day-to-day so you can focus on larger initiatives: a capital raise, an M&A process, a growth push.
- Current economic conditions make you nervous, and you want to keep costs flexible.
- You know there are gaps in the operation an experienced COO could fix, but you're not ready to step back, or you want to protect what makes your company special, like your culture.
- You're not sure what a COO actually does, or how one would help your company.
- There's a rising star already onboard, and you need someone to mentor them into the COO role.
A Goldilocks company: not too small, not too big.
Past a certain size you need real operating leadership, but you're not yet at the point where a full-time C-suite hire makes sense. That's the window GreenGranite operates in.

Mustafa Bayramoglu, Founder & CEO, Preflight
"Josh and his team significantly lightened the load during our recent Series A round: anticipating our needs, making suggestions on difficult issues, and displaying a level of service you don't often get. Josh simply made the difficult easy."
Brent Sperry, COO, Ox
