Fractional COO and AI consulting, built by one operator.

Most consultants either advise on operations or build software, not both. I do both myself: I step in as a fractional COO or CPO to fix how a scaling startup runs, and I personally build the AI automation and systems that make the fix stick. No handoff to a separate dev team, no slideware. Based in Austin, Texas, working with clients across the United States.

Fix operations at a scaling startup

When a startup outgrows duct-tape processes, I step in as an interim COO or CPO: org design, hiring, vendor management, and the operating cadence that turns growth from chaos into a system. This is the same discipline I ran at Apple, ChargePoint, and Hershey, applied to a team that doesn't have a full-time executive yet.

At ChargePoint I built the operating backbone that carried the company from $5M to $120M in quarterly revenue, startup through IPO. At Conceivable I did the same for a fertility startup as its fractional COO.

AI automation for small business

Most small businesses don't need a data science team, they need one or two automations that remove the bottleneck an owner is stuck doing by hand: quoting, routing, reporting. I build these myself, end to end, and hand over something that runs without me.

For an HVAC contractor I built an email-to-quote AI agent and a job-tracking system with daily material, hours, and per-project profitability, freeing up the owner's time at a $2.5M EBITDA business.

// questions

Questions about working together.

Do you work with small businesses, or only enterprise clients?

Both. The work ranges from a single AI automation for a small business, like the email-to-quote agent I built for an HVAC contractor, up to enterprise transformation at a $40B company. The engagement scales to the problem, not the other way around.

What does a fractional CXO engagement look like for a scaling startup?

It starts with a 30-minute call to understand where operations are breaking. From there it's usually an interim COO or CPO retainer: I run the operating cadence, fix the org and vendor structure, and build any AI or automation the team needs along the way.

Are you based in Austin, Texas?

Yes, Wright Advisors is based in Austin. Engagements run remote first with a regular video cadence, and I work with clients across the United States.

How is this different from hiring an AI consultant who only advises?

I build the automation myself instead of handing a recommendation to another team to implement. Pippa, ARIA, and the client automation systems in my selected work are all hands-on builds I shipped personally.
