For all organizations, little energizes teams more than having a healthy bottom line. It ensures a pervasive sense of security and lets you focus on pursuing your true strategic organizational imperatives.

Businesses face an unending variety of challenging circumstances: flat or declining revenue, hyper-uncontrolled growth, a disengaged executive/leadership team, changing and challenging economic conditions, lack of capital to fund operations and growth, technological challenges, and even fundamental industry transformation. When facing any or all of these, having a proven and experienced Chief Operating Officer is essential — both to survive and to thrive in an ever-changing global economy.

A qualified COO is fundamental to any organization to grow both revenue and profits while executing on strategic priorities. The COO leads, aligns, focuses, and unifies the many functions operating. The COO is accountable for all of the functional areas of the business and for ensuring they collectively hit the quarterly and annual milestones, targets, all while keeping the P&L on track.

Doing so, the COO supports the CEO and ensures he or she can focus externally on driving top-line growth and on securing valuable new relationships, resulting in a stronger organizational presence (and performance) in the marketplace.

COOs2GO clients count on us to provide: significant growth and value; motivated, engaged, and collaborative executive/leadership teams, getting-on-the-same-page of the different functional areas of the organization; and a solid foundation for the business, poised to weather almost any situation.

We provide essential inside-the-organization executive leadership expertise on an advisory, part-time, interim, or full-time direct-hire basis. Our COO executive search services can provide the ideal talent you need.

COOs2GO has established expertise in more than 24 industries and practice areas. We offer precise, focused expertise for each client, in both industry-specific and situational-specific circumstances. Situational practice areas include start-ups and rapid growth, mature businesses with flat revenue trends, businesses with declining revenue trends in need of a turnaround, and situations in which the owners are wanting to exit, and or are in need of pre - M&A advisory services.

     

Practice Leaders, Peter Gray, Seth Tuman, Lauren Zaslansky Conner, Jeff Ottoboni, Margaret Abeles and Katrina Montinola bring years of comprehensive operational management experience to our clients seeking guidance and surefire methods for top operational performance.

COOs2GO is a uniquely different firm positioned to offer significant value to our clients by interweaving both advisory capabilities with staffing and recruiting capabilities, each supporting and enhancing the other.

We offer a full spectrum of solutions to fit your needs and budget, ranging from initial assessments to consulting projects, all the way through to the placement of full-time executives and staff.

  • Consulting Projects: When you have a specific concern with a defined objective, a project-based engagement enables you to plan and execute a project using a 3-step plan of action: assessment, review of recommendations, and the implementation of solutions. These projects have a specific budget and or timeframe. Our consulting COOs are available to start project-based engagements within seven business days after the initial consultation and will provide immediate value to you and your organization.
  • Part-Time COO: When the cost of engaging a full-time COO is cost-prohibitive, COOs2GO provides ongoing part-time COO services to ensure you have the resources necessary to generate and grow revenue. We work with your executive team to identify the amount of time and effort needed and customize your ideal part-time business leadership and internal performance solution.

We team with our CXO division to serve as your COO executive search firm with deep knowledge of vetted, experienced talent.

We help you find the right strategy consulting or project management person who meets job competencies, aptitude, and cultural fit. Count on us as your boutique COO recruitment agency when the need arises.
  • Coaching: We offer executive coaching programs to senior executives who wish to do the work themselves. Typical coaching programs are one-hour sessions held each week, four times per month, for a duration of 3 to 12 months.
