Fractional Chief of Staff

I build the internal infrastructure that lets founders stop firefighting and start scaling.

Governance, systems, SOPs, and reporting, delivered by someone who's run this function end-to-end, not just advised on it. Seven years of operational leadership across two venture-backed companies.

Closing the gap between vision and execution.

What I Do
Eight ways I bring order to a growing company
Each of these is a function I've owned directly, not observed from the sidelines.
Program Governance & Cadence
Instituting board meeting rhythms, weekly leadership syncs, and follow-up systems that keep every initiative on schedule.
Ran quarterly board meetings and weekly leadership syncs for four years at Dria.
Systems & Documentation Architecture
Getting a company's knowledge out of scattered drives and inboxes and into one organized, searchable system.
Led Dria's full systems migration from Google Drive to Notion, restructuring years of documentation.
SOP & Process Design
Building legal, finance, and operations SOPs where none exist, so process no longer depends on one person's memory.
Established Dria's legal, finance, and operations SOPs from zero, cutting process turnaround time by 62.5%.
KPI & Reporting Infrastructure
Building KPI tracking tied directly to reporting structures, board deck templates, and RAID logs for cross-functional visibility.
Built and maintained Dria's board deck templates, program roadmaps, and RAID logs in Notion.
Financial Oversight & Cost Structuring
Expenditure forecasting and expense audits that give founders real visibility into where money is going.
Cut Dria's monthly spend from over $200,000 to $110,000 within five months through strategic planning and cost negotiation.
Legal & Entity Operations
Drafting and maintaining NDAs, Terms of Service, Terms of Use, and client SOWs, plus steering certification processes end-to-end.
Authored 40+ client SOWs and multiple ToS/ToU versions, and steered Dria's SOC 2 certification process end-to-end.
People Systems & Org Design
Hiring pipelines, onboarding and offboarding, and the people infrastructure (PTO frameworks, pulse surveys, PIP processes) most early startups haven't built yet.
Hired, onboarded, and offboarded 60+ people at Dria, cutting average time-to-hire to 30 days.
Founder Support on Sensitive Matters
A trusted point of contact for founders on high-discretion issues: legal disputes, cap table and treasury management, and other sensitive decisions.
Served as Dria's founders' trusted point of contact and de facto Chief of Staff on the company's most sensitive matters.
Engagement Types
Three ways to work together
Scoped to where your company actually is, not a one-size-fits-all retainer.
01
Build From Zero
Architecting the Structure
For founders with nothing formal in place yet. I review the full picture and establish governance, systems, and process from the ground up.
02
Rebuild
Review & Rearchitect an Existing System
For companies where something already exists but isn't working. I review what's in place and re-establish it into something that scales.
03
Advisory
Consultancy for Established Systems
For companies with functioning systems who want a second, expert opinion rather than a rebuild.
Let's build the structure your company needs.
