Senior operating support for the point where growth gets complicated.
Fractional leadership, founder advisory, operating readiness, data and insights, and workflow systems for founders and leadership teams. Available on site in Sydney and remotely across Australia and New Zealand.
Fractional COO & Chief of Staff
Embedded operating leadership for growing companies. The engagement takes a COO shape where the constraint is company-wide operations, and a Chief of Staff shape when the founder's attention is the constraint. Either way, the mandate, decision rights, and implementation responsibilities are agreed upfront. Available as a defined project, hourly support, or an ongoing retainer.
Founder Advisory & Strategic Projects
Focused support for founders with a decision, transition, or project that needs senior operational judgement. Commercial model, pricing, partner development, launch coordination, operational hires, and investor diligence all start from how the business actually runs. Available as standing advisory, a defined project, or hands-on transition support.
Operating Model & Scale Readiness
Flexible support for founders and leadership teams preparing for growth, investor diligence, significant hiring, customer assurance, or a major operating change. I clarify accountabilities, handoffs, data capture, and decision rhythm, then create a practical 90-day plan the team can execute. Available as a defined project, hourly support, or an ongoing retainer.
AI & Workflow Systems
For teams losing time to manual process, fragmented tools, and repeated administrative work. C2 maps the operating workflow first, then implements the smallest useful system, from connected SaaS and AI-assisted automation through to a dedicated internal workspace. Available as a defined project, hourly support, or an ongoing optimisation retainer.
Frequently asked questions
Which C2 service do I need?
Start from the constraint. Fractional COO support fits when the company needs sustained operating ownership. Chief of Staff support fits when executive attention is the bottleneck. Founder Advisory & Strategic Projects fits when a specific decision or transition needs senior judgement. Operating Model & Scale Readiness fits ahead of a meaningful milestone. AI & Workflow Systems fits when capable people are losing time to manual work.
Can services be combined?
Yes, and they often are in sequence rather than in parallel. A common pattern is an operating model reset first, then automation of the process once it is stable and understood.
How are engagements priced?
Scope first, then price. Defined projects name deliverables, dependencies, acceptance criteria, and an end point. Hourly support is used for bounded advice or execution. Retainers define available capacity, priorities, decision rights, cadence, and a review point.
How long does a typical engagement run?
It depends on the mandate. A focused project can run a few weeks; building and embedding an operating system usually takes two to four quarters with a formal review point rather than an automatic rollover.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. I am Sydney-based, available on site in Sydney, and work remotely with teams across Australia and New Zealand.
