What does a fractional COO do?
A fractional COO takes operational responsibility for the company on a part-time basis: process, structure, team, and the discipline to make growth repeatable. Typical scope covers go-to-market execution, organizational design as the team scales, enterprise readiness (the processes larger customers expect), and being the operational counterpart to the founder so decisions don't all run through one person. You get the judgment and execution of a senior operator, without a full-time C-level hire.
What does a fractional CPO do?
A fractional CPO takes product responsibility on a part-time basis: roadmap, prioritization, positioning and pricing. Typical scope covers sharpening product-market fit, structuring the roadmap around the segments that matter most, and pressure-testing pricing and packaging against what the market will actually pay. Built on the same 0-to-1 discipline that took Paymit/TWINT from idea to market.
What does a fractional CFO do?
A fractional CFO takes finance and controlling responsibility on a part-time basis, through to audit-ready financial statements. Typical scope covers management accounting and reporting, budgeting and forecasting, business cases for major decisions, and credit risk, led at CFO and executive board level so the numbers hold up under scrutiny from the board and investors.
What does a fractional CHR do?
A fractional CHR takes people responsibility on a part-time basis: org design, hiring, culture, and the HR processes a growing team needs before they become a problem. Typical scope covers structuring roles as headcount grows, contracts and policies, and building the people function a startup needs before it can justify a full-time HR head. Draws on HR experience from Ringier.
What's the difference between the fractional roles and the mandate-based services?
The fractional roles (COO, CPO, CFO, CHR) are ongoing and embedded: part of your team on a set cadence, agreed together in the first working session. HR Services and Accounting Services are mandate-based: scoped for a specific project, such as a contract review before expansion or a year-end close, and billed per effort or as a flat fee.
Who do you work with?
Mainly B2B startups in the scaling phase, typically from Series A onward: product-market fit is there, and now go-to-market, pricing, organization and capital all need to work at the same time. Selected corporate mandates on request.
How does the first conversation work?
30 minutes via Google Meet, at no cost, booked through Calendly. It is a working session on one concrete challenge, not a discovery call. Cancel up to 24 hours ahead if you can't make it.
What is the difference between the Diagnostic Sprint and the Co-Pilot Engagement?
The Diagnostic Sprint is 5 intense days at a critical point and delivers a structured outside view with prioritized levers and a 30/60/90-day plan. The Co-Pilot Engagement for Founders is ongoing: two 1-hour sessions a week plus a monthly workshop, for prioritizing, direct feedback, introductions and honest challenge.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. Sessions run via Google Meet worldwide. On-site work is possible in the Zurich/Basel area.
Do you work with competitors of mine?
Mandate capacity is limited by design. Any potential conflict of interest is flagged and discussed openly before an engagement starts.
What languages do you work in?
German and English, both business-fluent.
