Fractional Chief Operating Officer (COO) Services
Executive leadership for organizations that are ready to grow—but don’t yet need a full-time Chief Operating Officer.
Every founder starts with a vision.
Eventually, that vision becomes a growing team, competing priorities, and more opportunities than one person can manage alone. The excitement of growth can quickly become overwhelming when there aren’t clear processes, defined responsibilities, or the right leadership structure to support what’s next.
That’s where I come in.
I serve as a Fractional Chief Operating Officer for startups, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations that need experienced executive leadership on a part-time basis. Whether you’re building your organization from the ground up, preparing for your next stage of growth, or simply trying to create more consistency in how your organization operates, I help bring order, clarity, and accountability to the work.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of leading teams, improving operations, developing leaders, and guiding organizations through periods of significant change. As a corporate Director, former President of the NBMBAA Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter, and founder of Black Cherry Consulting, I’ve learned that successful organizations aren’t built by working harder—they’re built by creating systems that allow great people to do their best work.
My role is never to replace your leadership.
My role is to strengthen it.
I’ll work alongside you to identify what’s slowing your organization down, build practical solutions that fit your culture, and help your team execute with greater confidence. My approach is collaborative, honest, and grounded in the belief that the best solutions are the ones your people will actually embrace.

What You Can Expect
When we work together, you won’t receive a generic playbook or a one-size-fits-all solution.
You’ll gain a thought partner who asks good questions, listens before offering advice, and isn’t afraid to have honest conversations when they’re needed. I’ll help you make difficult decisions, establish priorities, strengthen your leadership team, and build an organization that can continue to grow long after my engagement ends.
My goal isn’t simply to help your organization run more efficiently.
It’s to help you build an organization you’re proud to lead.
If you’re looking for an experienced executive who will invest in your mission, challenge your thinking, and help turn vision into consistent execution, I’d welcome the opportunity to start a conversation.
Lead with Integrity. Deliver with Excellence.
