What's a fractional COO?
A fractional COO provides the same skills, expertise, and experience as a traditional full-time Chief Operating Officer, but is contracted for only a fraction of the time. This approach allows organizations to overcome previous barriers to accessing executive-level leadership by investing only in what they truly need.
Why work with a fractional COO?
This service is ideal for organizations that want the benefits of a COO, but whose size or operational complexity doesn't yet justify a full-time executive hire.
Consider a Fractional COO if you desire to:
​
-
Grow and scale:
Your ideas, products, services, or impact are proven, and you're ready to expand. You recognize that what got you HERE won't get you THERE—you need robust operational structures to grow successfully and sustainably. A fractional approach brings you executive-level insights at a fraction of the cost until you're ready for a full-time COO.
-
Run smoother operations:
Your business is functioning but could benefit from operational refinement to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall performance - leading to greater profitability.
-
Prepare for a transition:
You've built a successful business and are now planning your exit strategy. Rather than leaving your team or successor to figure things out the hard way, you want to implement systems, structures, and reporting mechanisms that will set everyone up for continued success.
-
Fill an interim need:
Your COO or other operations leader has departed, and you need experienced leadership during the potentially lengthy search for a permanent replacement.

I analyze available information to provide concrete, numbers-based assessments for critical business decisions. Whether you're evaluating pricing strategies, staffing levels, marketing investments, or operating expenses, I deliver the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.

People Strategy Development:
Your people are the lifeblood of your business. I help you take a holistic approach to how you attract, develop, and retain talent to achieve sustainable long-term results.
-
Change Management:
As both a fractional COO and an experienced executive coach, workshop facilitator, and management trainer, I not only develop processes for necessary organizational changes but also support your people in successfully implementing them.
"Jesse Hallock came in to lead staff and oversee operations during a transitional time. He quickly earned trust and increased morale. His ability to understand and improve operations was appreciated by leadership. His interpersonal skills are excellent and it was truly a pleasure to work with him."
