Fractional & Interim COO Services

Operational leadership when your organization needs it — without the full-time commitment.

40 years of healthcare operations leadership, now available for interim, project-based, and advisory engagements.

Who This Is For

  • Large organizations between COOs Leadership transitions create risk. I step in to keep operations steady, teams aligned, and momentum going — whether that's for a few months or through a full search process.

  • Growing organizations that don't need (or can't yet justify) a full-time COO You need experienced operational leadership, but not every day. I work episodically — board meetings, planning retreats, project launches — so you get senior-level guidance at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

What This Looks Like

  • Interim leadership during a COO transition or search

  • Board meeting support — attending and preparing for monthly or quarterly board meetings

  • Annual planning retreats — facilitating and structuring growth planning

  • Special project launches — new clinic/service line launches, system implementations, operational turnarounds

  • Ongoing advisory — a standing monthly or quarterly cadence for organizations that need a sounding board, not a full-time hire

Why Me?

I've spent 40 years leading ambulatory healthcare operations — overseeing 14 clinics and $30M+ in operating budgets across academic medical centers, FQHCs, and private practice groups. I've stabilized leadership teams through transition, launched new service lines from the ground up, and served as Operations Chief through a global health crisis.

While my deepest expertise is healthcare, operational fundamentals — team alignment, financial discipline, process improvement, board readiness — translate across industries.

Selected Results:

  • Directed operations across 14 clinics generating $30.5M in revenue

  • Managed a $1.75M operational support budget across facilities, quality, and performance teams

  • Led operational response as Operations Chief during COVID-19, ensuring continuity of services

  • Launched new behavioral health and primary care service lines, expanding access across regions

  • Reduced high-risk patient readmissions by developing a hospitalist program

  • Improved revenue capture and billing performance through operational redesign
