OPERATIONS LEADERSHIP.
EMBEDDED IN YOUR TEAM.
Part of our operations consulting practice. When your organization needs dedicated executive leadership, we place a fractional COO inside your business. Same consulting methodology. Full-time operational ownership.
GROWTH WITHOUT SYSTEMS
You don't need more analysis. You don't need another binder.
You need someone who will build the machine and run it.

Your fractional COO embeds into your business and takes ownership of operations. They build the systems, manage the people, and drive execution. Not from a distance, but from inside your company.

PE PORTFOLIO COMPANY. 8 MONTHS.
Private equity portfolio company with $12M revenue. Post-acquisition operations were chaotic. No documented processes, 45% annual turnover, and the founder was still making every operational decision. We embedded a fractional COO, rebuilt the operational foundation, and created a scalable machine.
QUESTIONS ABOUT
FRACTIONAL COOS
A fractional COO provides full Chief Operating Officer leadership on a part-time or contract basis. They build systems, optimize processes, manage teams, implement technology, track KPIs, and drive execution across the organization. The difference from a consultant: they embed into your business and own the operational outcomes.
A fractional COO from Long Drive Partners typically costs between $5,000 and $15,000 per month depending on scope. Compare that to a full-time COO at $250K-$350K/year plus benefits. Same caliber leadership, fraction of the cost, with a 30-day out clause.
An operations consultant delivers a binder of recommendations. A fractional COO implements them. They manage your team, build the systems, enforce accountability, and own the results. You get execution, not just analysis.
When revenue is growing but operations can't keep up. When the founder is the bottleneck. When processes are ad hoc. When turnover is high because there's no structure. When a PE firm needs post-acquisition operational improvement.
Most engagements begin within one week. We start with a 30-day operational assessment. Mapping processes, identifying bottlenecks, and delivering a prioritized improvement roadmap before building anything.
Companies between $3M and $50M revenue. Operations have outgrown informal management but don't justify a full-time C-suite hire. PE portfolio companies and founder-led businesses in growth phases are ideal.
Most engagements last 6 to 18 months. The first 90 days focus on assessment and system building. After that, execution and team development. All engagements include a 30-day out clause.
We build to hand off. Every system is documented, every process has an owner, your team is trained. If you hire a full-time COO, we brief them completely. You keep everything we built.
