Fractional COO for Service Businesses | Vital Ground Co.
Vital Ground Co.

Your business has outgrown the systems holding it together.

I help service business owners build the operating foundation their companies need to grow, without adding more people or more hours to your plate.

Does this sound familiar

If any of this sounds familiar,
you're in the right place.

Your delivery runs on a few key people. If one of them leaves, so does the process.

Your systems live in someone's head, probably yours, and getting them out feels like one more thing you don't have time for.

You've grown past the startup stage, but you're still running on startup-stage infrastructure.

Every time you try to scale, something breaks. And you're starting to wonder if growth is actually worth it.

That's not a character flaw. It's a systems gap.
And systems gaps are fixable.

How I work

I come in part-time and build what your business needs to run without you in every corner of it.

Fractional COO and AI implementation, embedded in your business, without the full-time cost.

01
Assess

Check the vitals. Find where the business is losing time, money, and momentum. Identify what needs attention first.

02
Stabilize

Fix what's bleeding first. Quick wins that create breathing room and build trust in the process.

03
Build

Put the right systems in place, documented, taught, and built to run without you.

My background

My path here started in a hospital, not a boardroom.

I spent five years as a registered nurse in high-risk labor and delivery triage. I learned to assess fast, think clearly under pressure, and build protocols before the next crisis, not after.

During COVID, I watched a systems failure unfold in real time. Not a clinical failure. A documentation failure. A leadership failure. Both patients survived. But I left that shift knowing something I couldn't unknow: the chaos wasn't a personality flaw. It was a systems gap.

I've spent the years since bringing that same triage thinking to service businesses, building operating infrastructure from the ground up, implementing EOS-aligned frameworks, and helping founders step out of the day-to-day without everything falling apart.

I tell you honestly whether I think I can help, and exactly what that would look like.

03

You leave with at least one clear thing to look at in your business, whether we work together or not.

No hard sell. No homework before we talk. No minimum size or stage requirement.

If your business has outgrown its infrastructure, let's talk.

Thirty minutes. No preparation required. Just bring the honest version of where things stand.
