Questions, answered.

A fractional COO is an experienced operations leader who works with an organization part-time, as an embedded partner rather than a full-time hire. AI-native means AI is a core part of how I do that work.

I design the human operating system (clarity, accountability, and process) and the AI infrastructure (automations, dashboards, and agent workflows) together, because they only work when they're built together.

An automation expert automates a process you already have. I start from the business objective, reimagine how the work could run with AI in the loop, build the system, and then train your team to actually use it and keep building on it.

I'm an operations leader who builds, not a technologist who advises from the outside. And because I'm not a developer, I work with the same tools and constraints as the people I'm helping.

It depends on the engagement, but the model is clear. Embedded fractional COO work is a monthly retainer based on scope, typically starting around $8,000 per month. An AI systems build is a set price for a defined baseline, starting at $5,000. A private team cohort runs 8 to 12 weeks and starts at $20,000, with a commitment of 3 to 4 hours per week per person. The TEMPO cohort for individuals is $1,000, or $2,000 for TEMPO Guided, which adds four private 1:1 sessions with me.

The best next step is a 30-minute call to understand what you need, and I'll tell you what your engagement would take.

Involved, and that's the point. This work is only effective when your team embraces it and has the capacity and motivation to keep using it after I'm gone. Leadership buy-in is critical, and having team members I can work alongside is essential to everything I do.

I embed to genuinely understand how you operate and to bring your team along for the ride. That's the difference between me and a consultant: I don't build a tool and walk away. I make your team the people who own it and keep building on it.

I build with tools like Claude, Lovable, Supabase, and n8n, chosen per project for what the system needs to do. Data handling is designed deliberately from the start: what the system can access, who can see what, and where the human decision gates sit.

Responsible, safe use is built in, not bolted on. We decide together what's appropriate for your organization before anything is connected.

Work with them. The goal of every engagement is a team that can run and extend what we built after I'm gone. I build your team's capacity alongside the systems themselves, through training, playbooks, and often a private cohort, so the capability stays with you.

Purpose-driven founders and leadership teams at startups, small businesses, and nonprofits: organizations doing work that matters and growing faster than their systems can keep up with. The engagements that work best are with teams that are genuinely curious about what AI makes possible and ready to build.

No. TEMPO is built specifically for non-technical professionals. No coding is required. Everything I've built, I built without an engineering background, and TEMPO teaches you to do the same, starting from the system I use every day and shaping it around how you actually work.

A Claude Pro subscription (about $20/month), a computer you're comfortable on (Mac or Windows), an email and calendar you can connect, and a meeting-notes tool. We set up anything you don't have together. The cohort runs over six weeks, live and fully recorded, and you should plan on four to five hours a week.
