Fractional COO & Operations Partner for Modern Consumer Brands
For brand leaders who are great at everything… except operations.
There's a version of your business that runs without you in every decision.
Emerging as a modern consumer brand is surfacing gaps and uncharted territory within your infrastructure. Your team is dedicated, but they rely on you way too much.
As a result, you haven't successfully uprooted from operations, and it's compromising the time and energy that is better spent building momentum.
If this is you, you need a strategic partner who can extract you from the weeds, align your team around clear ownership, and free you up to lead.
Working with a fractional COO is how you stop being the most expensive bottleneck in your business.
Does your brand need a Fractional COO?
Hello, I’m Alexia
I'm a Fractional COO and the space you need to take your business to its next level. I live for customer retention and know firsthand how operations that don't scale add friction to the customer experience.
Losing a customer you already paid to acquire has a lingering impact on LTV. How well your team operates is what protects that investment and keeps the customer coming back.
My approach goes beyond systems and processes. When every team member understands how their role directly impacts the customer experience, ownership becomes the default without you problem-solving for every little thing.

Here’s how we work together
01 — Process Design & Team Enablement
You're ready to delegate. The system to delegate into doesn't exist yet.
Set clear expectations, build problem-solving capability, establish SOPs, and empower your team to delight customers.
Autonomy. That's the win.
02 — Supply Chain & Logistics
Your goods are late. Your sales window is live. Customers are buying elsewhere.
Get product in-house on time, freight rates locked, and delays mitigated before they cost you.
On-time delivery. Margin protected.
03 — Technology Stack & Systems
You've invested in the tools. But are they actually earning their keep?
Audit what you have, cut what's redundant, build automation around what drives profit.
75% tech spend cut. First 90 days.
04 — Wholesale & Dropship Operations
Not every wholesale or dropship opp is worth saying yes to. SRSLY.
Build the framework that identifies the right partners, protects your margins, and makes every account worthwhile.
The right partners. The right margins. Built to scale.
05 — Returns & Reverse Logistics
A 30% return rate isn't a customer problem. It's a biz problem.
Every return is a CX strike, a margin hit, and an environmental cost. The data tells you why, and how to fix it.
Return rate dropped 50%.
06 — Short & Long Term Strategies
The current market is a plot twist that never resolves.
Build agile systems with no single points of failure. Mitigate vendor lock-ins. Avoid key person dependencies.
Built to bend. Never to break.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
If you're looking around at your team, knowing they're great but rely on you way too much, then yes, you need a fractional COO. Increased demand is pressure-testing your infrastructure, and the only way to sustain momentum is to pull yourself out of the weeds. I come in as your growth partner, aligning your team to operate at their highest potential and without you in every decision.
-
A modern consumer brand typically starts as DTC, digitally native, often founder-led, built on community and trust before retail or wholesale ever enters the picture. The difference is what comes next. Modern consumer brands grow into multiple channels: wholesale, retail, hospitality, and circularity. The customer relationship expands. So does the complexity. Transitioning from DTC to MCB is a meaningful accomplishment that needs to be met with strategic operational leadership to protect everything you built.
-
That's usually exactly right, and it's not a knock on the team. A team that executes well at $3M hasn't necessarily done what $15M across three channels requires. That's where I come in. I talk to everyone, find the gaps, the opportunities, and build the team into what's next. Clear ownership, documented processes, everyone locked into the same mission. Your people are usually more capable than they've been set up to be. The goal is a team that owns their lane, manages up with ideas and solutions, and drives operations forward, clearing up time and space for you to lead.
-
It means your operations stop being the ceiling on your growth. Right now, every new channel, every new account, every new complexity runs through you because that's the way it is. After this engagement, team members understand how their role directly impacts conversions, retention, and LTV. You stay in the vision. Operations holds itself up.
-
It starts with discovery. I speak with everyone within scope. It never ceases to amaze me what comes up in these conversations. Many founders are surprised to learn how much their team has been holding back. Bringing me in creates a safe space to surface frustrations, single points of failure, gaps, as well as opportunities, goals, and the deep commitment so much of your team has for your customers.
This all becomes the roadmap. What's broken, what's working, why, and what to do about it. You can move forward with me or on your own. Either way, the roadmap is yours.
If we continue, the shape depends on what the business needs. Process documentation, systems implementation, role definition, tool builds. It's never one-size.
-
No. And that’s the goal. If I’ve done the job, you have a team that can operate without the founder in every decision, systems that don’t break when someone’s out, and the confidence to delegate to people who know exactly what they’re doing. Some clients want me around after that. That’s a choice. The objective was never to make myself necessary. It was to make you, as an operator, unnecessary.
