Scale. Fractional CPO and COO for gaming and tech studios
Growth without losing control or culture.
Fractional people and operations leadership for studios growing faster than their structure: senior support, embedded with your leaders, without a full-time hire.

When this fits
- Every decision still goes through the founders.
- You are hiring fast and onboarding feels improvised.
- Good people are leaving and you are not sure why.
- Managers were promoted for their craft, not for leading people.
What’s included
Fractional CPO / COO
- People and operations strategy tied to the business plan
- Leadership rhythm, priorities and decision rights
- Ongoing support, a set number of days a month
Leadership advisory
- 1:1 coaching for founders and new managers
- Manager training that fits studio reality
- Hard conversations, prepared together
Employee experience & corporate events
- End-to-end concept, planning, and execution for memorable team moments
- Designing engaging workplace cultures people want to stay in
- Trusted feedback models and fair compensation frameworks
How we work
Same five steps every time, scaled to the size of the problem.
- 01
Discover
We listen to founders and teams before we suggest anything.
- 02
Assess
We map people, processes and risks, and say plainly what we see.
- 03
Design
We shape the structure, the plan and the conversations ahead.
- 04
Execute
We do the work alongside your leaders, not from a slide deck.
- 05
Evolve
We measure, adjust and hand over so it lasts without us.
Usually a monthly retainer.
Scaling is ongoing, so the support is too: a fixed number of days each month, reviewed every quarter.
Typical length and format
- Minimum 3 months, then month to month
- 2 to 8 days a month, depending on stage
- Quarterly review with founders
