Hey! Has anyone worked with a good Fractional COO that is highly experienced in DTC for brands $20 mill+?
What is the specific challenge you’re looking to have them help navigate?
Thanks for your message, I hope you are well!
We are a 100% DTC e-commerce brand () doing $12 million per year, without a leadership team in place.
Our growth has unfortunately stagnated over the past year as I have gotten spread too thin. I know that we can get to $20m+ quickly and would like to work with someone who has experience with taking DTC businesses to that level. I was hoping to hit the ground running with someone who could be heavily involved (~10-25hours per week) so that we can move quickly.
The biggest challenge so far has been building and managing a team as I am inexperienced going through the process of hiring & recruiting. Every area of the business can be improved right now with the right people in place. For context, there is currently no leadership team in place besides myself, we are a small team of about 7 full timers, the majority being customer service roles.
The main goal would be to help take me out of the day-to-day operations, by leading, managing and accountability for the team, and helping me hire/build a leadership team that can execute key initiatives/vision. The areas that need the most immediate improvements are: Supply chain/operations, customer experience, and admin. I would like to focus my efforts on marketing, product and vision.
Please let me know if this sounds interesting to you and if you would be open to having a discussion!
If you’re interested I’d highly appreciate it if you could answer some of these questions as well:
_
What is your availability right now?
Do you work with DTC brands regularly?
What DTC brands have you worked with in the past? What size did they start at with you then grow to?
Do you help recruit and hire talent as a Fractional COO?

If you feel like this isn’t a fit, I would still love to stay connected and would be grateful if you could point me in the right direction.
Amazing what you’ve done. I’ll send you a DM.
