Fractional COO & Operating Partner

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.

Why a fractional COO

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.
Company profile

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.
