FRACTIONAL COO FOR FOUNDER-LED TEAMS

Your business should not need you to function.

If your team still waits on you for decisions, approvals, and directions that is not a people problem. It is a structure problem. And structure is fixable.

You hired a team. You built systems. You're still the one holding it all together.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Your inbox is the bottleneck. Your team parks "quick questions" with you. Tasks stall waiting on your approval. And every time you try to step back, something breaks.

This is not because you're doing it wrong. It's because your business outgrew its operating structure, and no one has replaced you at the operational level yet.

The longer you stay the operating system, the harder growth gets.

→ 90%+ team follow-through by Day 90

→ Decisions routed via defined flow with SLAs

→ You focused on strategy, sales, and growth

If we don't hit 10 hours back by Day 45, I extend at no additional cost until we do.

Investment: $5,000/month

Embedded COO leadership for founder-CEOs with 3–8 person teams.

Not quite ready? Start with the CEO Ops Reset, a $1,000 focused working session, credited toward the Partnership if you move forward within 30 days.

Book the CEO Ops Reset →

This is for you if:

→ You have a real team of 3–8 people and real revenue

→ You are currently the default decision-maker, PM, or ops lead

→ You've hired and still feel like nothing changed

→ You want implementation not more advice

→ You're ready to hand over operational authority and adopt a cadence

This is not for you if:

→ You're pre-revenue or solo

→ You want task execution or VA support

→ You want coaching or strategy without hands-on leadership

→ You're not willing to delegate real authority

What My Clients Say…

  • What can I say about Ali that would truly encapsulate how valuable she has become to my business operations?!? There are not enough words to describe how thankful I am to her. She has optimized our operations with systems that work and continue to work.

    Heather Bustos, Managing Partner, Bustos Law Group

  • I HIGHLY recommend working with Ali Valdes! Ali has been a remarkable support to our team. From day one, Ali worked to understand our complex and complicated business and make sense of it!

    Julie Mink, President, Tealinc

  • Ali and I have been working together for 4+ years now. I am so impressed with her skills, but also with her ability to "get me" (she makes me look good). Every project we undertake together has me thanking Ali for her ability to see my vision and bring it to life!

    Billie Sinclair, Executive Coach, Sinclair Associates

  • Ali doesn’t just support a business. She strengthens it. From automating workflows and documenting SOPs to managing projects and leading with integrity, she’s the kind of behind-the-scenes pro who makes you look good in front of clients, colleagues, and your calendar.

    Bonnie Schutz, Agency Owner, TRS

HEY, I'M ALI

I don't coach from the outside. I operate inside the business.

I work with founder CEOs who have unintentionally become the operating system of their own company. I've spent years stepping into growing businesses as the person who takes operational ownership when everything starts running through the founder.

I'm not here to give you a framework and wish you luck.

I'm here to install it, enforce it, and stay until it works.

You do not need to push harder. You need the right structure in place.
