Senior operating capacity for technology CEOs
A fractional Chief of Staff who takes ownership of the initiatives that matter most and sees them through.

When the agenda outgrows the leadership team
Between roughly $10M and $100M in revenue, the work facing a CEO changes faster than the organisation around it. New markets, a services business that needs to scale, a revenue model under strain, a board expecting more rigour. Each of these needs senior attention, and most leadership teams are already fully committed to running the business.
The result is familiar: important initiatives move more slowly than they should, or land on the CEO's desk by default. A permanent hire is often premature, and a consulting report rarely changes how the work gets done.
What I take on
Work that needs a senior operator, not another hire
Special projectsThe initiative that matters but keeps slipping, owned from scoping through to delivery.

As President, Americas at Copperleaf, nearly doubled regional bookings in one year to $63M, then led the company's operations through its transition to a public company on the TSX.

Who I work with
CEOs of technology companies at a point of transition
I typically work with founders and CEOs of technology companies with revenue between $10M and $100M, often at an inflection point: entering a new market, maturing a services or customer function, preparing for investment, or simply carrying more than one leadership team can reasonably absorb.
About
I'm Miranda, and I have spent twenty years deploying technology with industrial customers to create value, most recently in senior commercial and general management roles at high-growth software companies. I take the same approach into each engagement: understand the business properly, agree what good looks like, and do the work.
