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.

How we work

Same five steps every time, scaled to the size of the problem.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We listen to founders and teams before we suggest anything.

  2. 02

    Assess

    We map people, processes and risks, and say plainly what we see.

  3. 03

    Design

    We shape the structure, the plan and the conversations ahead.

  4. 04

    Execute

    We do the work alongside your leaders, not from a slide deck.

  5. 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
