Fractional COO
for Growth-Stage
Founders & CEOs

You've outgrown the way the company was built. I rebuild the operating structure — so you can scale from Series A to C+ without being the bottleneck.

A senior operator embedded in your team, from diagnosis through implementation — until the change holds. Not a strategy deck.

Portrait of Nino Razmadze, Fractional COO

Nino Razmadze, Fractional COO — New York, NY

Built for founders and CEOs

From executive advisory to embedded Fractional COO leadership — the right level of operating support for the stage, challenge, and leadership style.

Measurable operating impact

Up to 55% efficiency improvement and 30% cost reduction delivered through operating-model, workflow, and execution redesign.

AI-Enabled Operations

Workflows, ownership, and data come first — then AI and automation are applied where they can reduce work, accelerate execution, and create real operating leverage.

Who I partner with

For founders and CEOs who have outgrown the way the company was built.

You've proven something real — the product, the revenue, the team. But as the company grows, the way it operates isn't keeping pace.

Decisions take longer. Accountability gets blurry. Functions start working in silos. More people and more tools aren't solving the underlying problem.

I work primarily with founders and CEOs of growth-stage, VC- and PE-backed companies — typically Series A through C+ — where operational complexity has become a constraint on the next stage of growth.

The common denominator isn't company size. It's that the business has scaled faster than the operating model behind it.

Three moments I get called in

01

Build it

Seed to Series A

You are the operating system. Every decision, every escalation, every process that exists only because you're holding it in your head. It worked at twelve people. At thirty it's the reason you can't think past next week.

This is where the first real operating layer gets built — light enough not to slow you down, structured enough that the next fifty people can join without you rewriting everything.

What changes:

Clear ownership. A decision cadence that doesn't route through you. Reporting an investor can actually read. Your time back.

02

Scale it

Series A to Series C

Headcount is climbing faster than output. You've doubled the team and delivery hasn't doubled with it. Leaders exist, but ownership is still informal, so everything meaningful escalates anyway.

This is where informality stops being scrappy and starts being expensive — and where AI tools get bought, piloted, and quietly abandoned, because the operating model was never redesigned to hold them.

What changes:

Real ownership across the exec layer. Workflows rebuilt for throughput, not headcount. AI embedded where it compounds.

03

Prove it

Series C+ and PE-backed

The company works. What's at stake now is whether it holds up under scrutiny — a raise, a diligence process, a second geography, a board that wants one number by Thursday and gets three different versions of it.

This is institutional-grade operating work: governance that survives an audit, reporting that survives diligence, an operating model that travels to a new market instead of being rebuilt there.

What changes:

Investor-ready reporting. Governance that holds. A model that exports to the next market.

Who I am

About

20+ years · US, Europe, Asia

Nino Razmadze is a Fractional COO and Operating Partner who works with founders, CEOs, and investors when growth has outpaced the way a company operates.

She helps founder-led, VC- and PE-backed companies build the operating model, accountability, and execution discipline the next stage demands — from strategic advisory through embedded operating leadership.

Over more than 20 years across the US, Europe, and Asia, she has led complex transformation and growth initiatives across global financial institutions, technology companies, and venture-backed businesses — including work across organizations such as UBS, Broadridge, Scotiabank, The Bank of Tokyo, and Converseon.AI, and engagements alongside firms including McKinsey, KPMG, Accenture, and EY.

Her focus is simple: turn strategy into an operating model that works — and delivers measurable results.

Philosophy

Foundation first — always. I start by finding what already works, cutting what's quietly slowing you down, and building only what earns its place. Not more process — the right process, owned by your team, not dependent on me. When decisions get faster, the data is trustworthy, and leaders own their lanes, the business stops routing everything through the founder. That's the point where AI accelerates growth instead of adding noise — and where structure finally buys you speed instead of costing it.

Case studies

Selected operating transformations across the growth journey.

From building the first operating layer to transforming complex organizations, the work changes with the stage — the focus on measurable outcomes does not.

Healthcare Tech · Early Growth

Built to scale without unnecessary headcount

A healthcare technology company needed a stronger operating foundation as it prepared for growth and fundraising. Nino assessed the operating model, clarified ownership, designed lean workflows, and built management reporting that gave leadership greater visibility into how the business could scale.

Result

Stronger operating readiness for growth and fundraising — without building an oversized organization.

AI / SaaS · Series A → B

50–60% faster delivery

Rapid growth had outpaced the company's workflows, governance, onboarding, and operating discipline. Nino restructured operations, clarified ownership, strengthened governance, redesigned client onboarding, and improved data and workflow discipline to support automation.

Result

50–60% faster delivery, reduced manual work, and greater operating capacity with fewer resources.

Financial Services · Growth Stage

55%

Efficiency improvement

30%

Cost reduction

Fragmented processes, siloed teams, and inconsistent execution were slowing the organization down. Nino mapped the operating model, removed bottlenecks, standardized workflows, clarified ownership, and aligned teams around a common execution framework.

Result

55% improvement in operating efficiency alongside 30% lower costs — increasing capacity for growth and expansion.

Late Stage / Enterprise

Clearer ownership. Faster decisions. Less duplication.

As organizational complexity increased, decision-making, governance, role clarity, and workforce planning needed to scale with it. Nino designed cross-functional operating models, governance frameworks, role clarity, and workforce planning approaches to improve how teams coordinate, make decisions, and allocate resources.

Result

Stronger accountability, faster decision-making, reduced duplication, and tighter alignment between headcount and business priorities.
