How this goes.

You want someone to look at the whole thing and tell you what’s actually broken.

Two weeks.

Week one we are in everything: finance, people, pipeline, vendors, tooling. We talk to the CEO, the person who runs the money, and whoever the engineers complain to. We read the board deck, the bank statements, and the Slack channels nobody has muted.

Week two you get a written read. What is working, what is broken, what is about to break, and what we would do first. And the first three fixes shipped while we are still in there, because a plan nobody has started is a document.

You want someone running it.

Two or three days a week. Three months minimum.

We own the operating cadence: the weekly leadership sync, the decision log, board and investor materials, hiring pipeline and onboarding, vendor spend, cash and runway, policy, comms. We are in your Slack, on your calendar, and in the threads that need an answer today.

You need the seat filled now.

Full time, for a defined window. Ninety to 180 days.

Executive Director, COO, or Chief of Staff, while you find the person or while the thing winds down.

You want the operating layer built with agents and run by people.

Scoped in the read. Built inside the operator. Handed over either way.

Agents that triage the inbox and draft the replies. A bot that watches vendor spend and flags the drift before month end. Workflows that turn every call into a summary, a decision, and a to-do with a name on it. A dashboard that shows what each one costs.

The rules do not move. Every agent has an owner and an off switch. Agents draft, people decide. Nothing goes in front of your customers without a human reading it first.

You need a thing made, not a system run.

Scoped per project. Weeks, not quarters.

A brand identity. Positioning and a go-to-market plan. A site, a deck, a launch, a product design sprint, an internal tool. Five-plus years running operations inside a strategy and design agency, so we have shipped all of it and know what good looks like and what it costs. We scope it, we run it, and we bring in the designers and engineers we have hired before when the work calls for them.

You get one person accountable for the whole thing, a plan with dates, and the finished work. Not a strategy document about the work.

We don’t do executive assistant work with a bigger title. We don’t make slides about the plan instead of the plan. We won’t write your customer-facing copy with an LLM, and we’ll tell you when you shouldn’t either.

We work with the CEO.

Every decision gets an owner and a date. Follow-ups inside 24 hours.
