Hi, I’m Karen Moore, your potential new Fractional COO!

As a Fractional COO, I help busy entrepreneurs take control of their business operations, so they can focus on what they do best. As organizations develop and grow, they reach a stage where they can benefit from the expertise of an experienced operations executive, but they are not yet at the point where their business can support a full time hire. This is where I come in.

With over 15 years of business experience, I have observed remarkable patterns in the way successful businesses think, act, and communicate. In my role as Fractional COO, I have had the opportunity to work closely with business owners to implement approaches and strategies that have accelerated the success of their businesses.

The most satisfying aspect of my role has been observing what business leaders are able to accomplish once they have the extra time and energy needed to break through barriers and reach their true potential. I’m here to support you and make sure your business operations, processes, and necessary tactical steps are mapped out and implemented to drive future growth.

– LESLI FERGUSON, FOUNDER

Working with Karen has been beyond amazing. She has brought much needed value to my company. Being a solo entrepreneur can get tough when making large decisions. I had no one to bounce ideas off of or to share the stresses of running a company with. Karen is a great sounding board for all things business. She provided solutions on how to tighten up business operations and be more productive. She took things off my plate that I wasn't enjoying which has allowed me to focus on the part of my business that I loved.

As my company grows, it is nice to have someone like Karen on board who understands how my business works and helps to make it run smoothly. It's like having a partner without actually having a partner.

– ALICIA SASS, FOUNDER

There are so many moving parts to simultaneously running and growing a business. Before Karen, I was drowning in the day-to-day. I didn’t have time to focus on the vision and I knew that somebody junior wouldn’t understand how their assigned tasks factored into my vision, however I wasn’t in the financial position to hire a senior operations manager. Karen stepped in and whipped us all into shape. She has taken all the business operations off my plate and allowed me to focus on design, on my passion and on business development. She has an absolute knack for clarifying, crystalizing, organizing, and executing any project small or large. Now, I can’t imagine life without her!

– BRENDA IZEN, FOUNDER

Karen has a laser sharp vision on where operations need to be. She identifies clearly what needs to be remedied and makes a proactive and clear plan to achieve it.

Karen aligns easily with the goals of the practice and works to strategically achieve them. She speaks directly yet kindly to communicate clearly.

Bringing Karen on board has freed me up to do the things I want to do in our practice. She has not only lightened my load by taking the day to day operations off my plate but has improved our operations overall and set an effective and professional tone for our work flow.

– BARBORA VOKAC TAYLOR, FOUNDER

I used to spend way too many hours doing things that would detract from time I should have been spending on my files and on business development. Karen took over financial operations in January 2021 and my efficiency and profitability increased demonstrably. She has become integral to the business and I trust and include her on a broad range of accounting, HR and operational matters.

- SAM POSNER, FOUNDER

Many artists aren't taken seriously as business owners. Karen has helped me to recognize and realize my potential on both fronts. Her vision, insight, confidence, and passion have brought my operation to new heights, beyond what I ever thought possible. She has been engaged with practically every facet of my work, because she sees the WHOLE picture, and she cares deeply about my personal and professional success. Karen is also incredibly easy to talk to. She reads the room, and has a magical way of knowing exactly what her clients need. Whether I'm stressed, inspired, excited or overwhelmed, she always says the exact right thing -- she meets me where I am. Karen treats me and my business with the utmost care and consideration, and it is truly rare to find someone who cares SO much, and offers SO much, all at once. I attribute so much of my success to her incredible work, so much so that I hesitate to write this review, in fear of publicizing my "secret weapon."
