About Ballast Ops
FRACTIONAL COO FOR AMBITIOUS FOUNDERS
Ambitious founders don’t struggle with vision.
They struggle with carrying it alone.
You’ve built something real. You’ve set a high bar. You’ve driven growth personally.
But as the business grows, performance starts depending too heavily on you.
I step in as a retained Fractional COO to build the structure, ownership, and operating discipline that allow your business to perform at your standard, without constant pressure from you.
Operating Principles
I am not a task executor. I am an operator. I look for:
REVENUE LEAKAGE
MARGIN EROSION
INITIATIVE CHURN
UNDER- LEVERAGED TALENT
FOUNDER BOTTLENECKS
LOW-LEVERAGE DECISION LOAD
I have no tolerance for wasted opportunity. Waste is rarely a people problem.
It’s a systems problem. Systems can be redesigned.
I use EOS® as an operating framework, but always through a profit-first lens. Structure is the tool. Economic performance and trust are the outcomes.
If your business performs at your level only when you’re deeply involved, that’s structural, not personal.
Let’s strengthen the system beneath your business so profit and performance accelerate.
