As consumer brands grow beyond the startup stage, their operations become more complex. Supply chain coordination, financial planning, inventory management, retail expansion—it all starts to snowball. That’s when the real question arises: Who’s steering the ship?
For brands in the $5M–$100M revenue range, a full-time COO might feel out of reach—or even premature. That’s where a Fractional COO becomes not just a smart solution, but a strategic advantage.
What Is a Fractional COO?
A Fractional COO is a senior operations leader who works with your team on a part-time or interim basis. They bring the same strategic oversight and execution ability of a full-time executive—without the overhead or long-term commitment.
At Kedia Consultants, our Fractional COO services are designed specifically for growing brands that need to scale faster, smarter, and more efficiently.
