Fractional & Interim CEO

For companies in crisis, transition, or rapid growth

For companies in crisis, transition, or rapid growth

I step in when leadership matters most — when a company is in trouble, outgrowing its systems, or navigating a critical transition without the right person at the helm.

Across 22+ engagements, the work has looked different every time but the outcome has been consistent: organizations that are more stable, more profitable, and better led than when I arrived. That has meant everything from rebuilding culture and fixing broken operations, to navigating legal crises, recovering lost revenue, and hiring the leadership teams that sustain performance long after I'm gone.

Recent engagements have included restoring a school from 50% enrollment collapse to a full waitlist while recovering a $355K legal settlement, saving an organization from permanent closure after an IRS crisis, and delivering an immediate 8.5% revenue increase through a single operational fix.

I work with founders, investors, and boards who need experienced executive leadership without a permanent hire. If that's where you are, let's talk.
