Testimonials

During our just over a year of collaboration, Stephanie served as our fractional COO and provided invaluable support. Her role as a sounding board for executive decisions was crucial, and her quick access to resources and insights streamlined our operations. Additionally, she was able to cover for me when I needed to take a much-needed vacation, ensuring the business continued to operate smoothly without any concerns. I highly recommend her for any organization seeking strategic guidance and operational excellence.

If you are looking for a Fractional COO, then you need to talk to Stephanie Allen! I hired Stephanie after learning that my second in command was not planning to return to work after maternity leave. I knew that shift was going to be a big turning point for my business. The initial focus of our work was to determine the best way to improve operations and help identify what to do and in what order. So much good came from working with Stephanie, but the 2 best things were: 1. Support to plan and cover for us in the business so I could (finally!) take a proper vacation. Having Stephanie watching over the team and reporting in when needed gave me the opportunity to unplug and restore. That wouldn’t have been possible without engaging Stephanie when I did. 2. Helping to find, hire, and train my next 2nd in Command. Hiring Stephanie was a worthwhile investment in my business!
