Retainer Basis
It is not common practise to have the need for a full time COO in a scaling startup, however the skillset and experience of a COO is imperative to achieve sustainable growth. I provide organisations a "part-time" COO function to give the benefit of my experience, skillset and network without the heavy burden of a full time salary.
I will attend management meetings as a Special Adviser, providing input and opinion to cultivate solutions to the challenges within fast growth organisations, sharing the fruits of my labour working with dozens of startups, including founding my own businesses'.
This designed to be a retained role over a 6 | 9 | 12 month period
Monthly retainer quoted based on time requirement and/or sweat equity proposal
