Fix the Foundation Before You Try to Scale
You don’t need another consultant with ideas.
You need a strategist who can clean up the chaos, design a smarter digital infrastructure, and set your business up to scale, then hand you the keys.
What is a Factional Chief Digital officer?
A Fractional Chief Digital Officer (CDO) is a senior-level digital strategist who steps into your business temporarily to lead and execute digital transformation without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive.
Think of it as executive-level digital leadership on demand.
Where a Chief Marketing Officer focuses on visibility and reach, a CDO focuses on structure, systems, and scale. I look across your operations, tech stack, team workflows, and customer experience to create a seamless, efficient digital backbone that supports your business as it grows.
If your backend is scattered across tools, spreadsheets, and manual processes or you’re relying on a team that’s working hard but not working efficiently, this is where a Fractional CDO can step in, clean it up, and rebuild it right.
A Chief Digital Officer sits between marketing, tech, sales, and operations—bridging gaps that most people don’t even see
What Does a Fractional Chief Digital Officer Do?
As your Fractional CDO, I act as the architect and strategist behind your digital operations. I don’t just give advice, I roll up my sleeves and build a smarter system for how your business runs.
Here’s what that includes:
Audit + Discovery
I audit your systems, workflows, and team structure to find where things are falling apart behind the scenes.
Strategic Roadmap
I create a custom roadmap to connect your tools, streamline your workflows, and support your goals.
System Setup + Integration
I lead the implementation of CRMs, automation platforms, analytics, and more—so your backend actually works for you.
Team Roles + SOPs
I help you redefine roles, support hiring (if needed), and create SOPs that bring clarity to your operations.
Training + Transition
I don’t just build it, I train your team to run it. You leave with a fully functioning system and the confidence to grow without me.
In short, I step in, build what’s needed, train your people, and step out—leaving behind a business that’s no longer depending on patchwork systems or the founder’s constant involvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the clarity call a sales call?
No. This is a strategic conversation, not a sales pitch. The goal is to assess whether a setup or reset engagement makes sense based on where your business is right now. You’ll leave with clarity on your biggest digital gaps, even if we decide we’re not a fit to work together.
What exactly will we talk about on the call?
We’ll talk through what’s currently not working in your digital systems or team workflows, where things are breaking down, and what you’ve already tried. I’ll ask a few focused questions, and based on what you share, I’ll outline what kind of support might help, or recommend another direction if I think that’s better.
Who is this best for?
This call (and the service overall) is best for business owners, startup founders, and operators who are outgrowing their current systems. If you have a small team, messy operations, or know your business can’t scale with the backend you currently have, you’re in the right place.
What if I’m not sure I’m ready to hire someone yet?
That’s completely fine. This call is designed to help you figure that out. I’ll walk you through the signs that a digital setup or reset might be the right move, and if it’s not, I’ll point you toward a better next step. You won’t leave with guesswork.
Is there anything I need to do before the call?
Nothing formal. Just bring a clear sense of what’s been frustrating or slowing you down operationally, systems, team, or tech-wise. I’ll take it from there.
Ready to Run a Smarter Operation?
Let’s talk about where your digital systems are falling short, and what it would look like to rebuild them the right way.
This isn’t a generic sales call. It’s a 30-minute conversation to get to the root of what’s holding your business back operationally. You’ll walk away knowing exactly where the gaps are, even if we don’t work together.
