work with me
Three ways we work together.
All of them start with one
conversation.
Every engagement begins the same way. One call. Twenty minutes. We find the work, decide whether I’m the right operator to help, and figure out what shape it should take.
What working together can look like.
01
Fractional COO
Your part-time operating partner. We work across leadership, culture, performance, and operations — building what your business needs to scale beyond you.
Half day or full day per week, ongoing.
Most of this work runs through LULO Coaching.
02
Executive
Coaching
Structured leadership development built on a fifteen-module framework — eight modules on leadership, seven on business. Applied to your real challenges, not theoretical frameworks.
Two or four sessions per month, ninety minutes each.
Most of this work runs through LULO Coaching.
03
A project
A defined problem. A defined fix. A defined end. We rebuild a broken process, install an operating rhythm, or get a critical system out of your head and onto paper.
Typically three to twelve weeks.
Who this is for.
Founder-led businesses, roughly $1.5M to $20M. The founder is still the bottleneck — or starting to feel the strain of growth. The team is busy but not always pulling in the same direction. The leader knows something needs to change in how the business runs, not just what it sells. And they're willing to do the work.
In their words.

Robert brought a level of rigor and discipline to our operations that transformed how we execute at scale. Under his leadership, we reduced turnover by at least 50% while improving output quality and delivery timelines. From a CFO's perspective, that kind of operational clarity is invaluable.

Chief Financial Officer

Robert came in and immediately started bringing clarity to the chaos. He developed meaningful KPIs, helped define what success looked like, and created a framework that gave our teams direction and accountability. Robert is one of the most effective leaders I've had the chance to work with.
Jimmy Greer
Operations Leader, Intellivo
“
I've known Robert for almost 25 years. He sees the person before the role. Plenty of leaders can build a team. Plenty can build an org. Robert builds the people inside both — and what gets built lasts.
Ryan Loche, PhD
Long-arc colleague

As my Fractional COO, he has helped me become one of the most sought after ADA Consulting firms in the nation. He's tactical, creative and truly communicates well. Whether handling marketing, improving our estimating system or developing onboarding and training, he's become both a trusted friend and someone I rely on to scale my business.
Chris Taylor
Owner & CEO, ADA-PROS

I've seen leadership in many different forms. My two years with Robert was none of the above. He steadily built our department into what it needed to be — neither too top down nor too hands off. He's simply not a one-size-fits-all type of leader.
Bill M. Wade, Esq.
Attorney

Robert is one of the most people-focused leaders I have had the privilege of working with. He took my role and contributions seriously, particularly in the development and implementation of our quality audit program. He consistently puts his employees first, and that commitment shows.

If you’ve made it this far — let’s talk.
Twenty minutes. One conversation. We’ll find where things have gotten stuck —
and whether I’m the right operator to help.
Free fit call. Twenty minutes. No pitch.
