Fractional COO for Women-Led Businesses at a Scale-Up Inflection Point.

For CEOs who’ve built real momentum and want clarity, judgment, and discipline as they enter their next stage of growth - without chaos or unnecessary complexity.

Running a growing business shouldn’t mean holding everything in your head.

I partner with women CEOs of established, revenue-generating companies who are ready to move beyond scrappy execution and into a more intentional, professional way of leading the business.

As your Fractional COO, I help leaders bring clarity to complexity by sharpening priorities, strengthening decision-making, and aligning the business to support its next phase of growth.

Scaling starts to break down when:

  • Costs rise, but results don’t keep pace

  • Decisions feel reactive instead of deliberate

  • Teams are capable, but misaligned or under-utilized

  • Time and capital are invested without clear return

At HIGHPOINT, I act as an embedded strategic operator - helping you decide:

  • what actually matters now

  • what can wait

  • and where your time, people, and capital will have the greatest impact

The result:

  • Less operational noise and fewer reactive decisions

  • Teams aligned around clear priorities and expectations

  • More disciplined use of time, talent, and capital

  • Confidence to scale without losing control, credibility, or cash!

You bring the vision.
We bring the order that makes it scalable.

The Right COO Support, At the Right Stage

You’ve proven your business works.
Now the work is different.

At HIGHPOINT, we support women-led businesses through critical growth transitions - bringing structure, clarity, and executive judgment so the business evolves without unnecessary complexity or waste.

Our engagements are designed to meet you where you are now, and adapt as your leadership and business mature.

  • Senior judgment applied, decisions carried forward.

    For CEOs who have momentum - but need focused, senior-level insight to bring order to complexity and prepare for what’s next.

    Best for: Established businesses with lean teams, rising expectations, and leaders who want clarity before making bigger investments.

    Typically includes:

    • Identifying what truly matters in this stage of growth and what can wait

    • Clarifying leadership roles, decision rights, and operating priorities

    • Diagnosing where capital, time, or talent is being misallocated

    • Preparing the business for expansion, investment, or structural change

    Format: Fixed-scope, 6–12 week engagement.

    This is not implementation for implementation’s sake - it’s senior judgment applied at the right moment.
