Fractional COO & Creator of 6 Proven Business Frameworks

The Problem I Solve

Operations Shouldn't Hold You Back

You're growing—but your systems aren't keeping up. Decisions take too long. Meetings waste time. Your team is busy but not productive. You need senior operations leadership, but a full-time COO isn't in the budget.

That's where I come in.

As a Fractional COO, I bring Fortune 500-caliber operational discipline to organizations that are ready to scale—without the $200K+ executive price tag.

What Clients Say

Testimonials: 

"This wasn't a lecture. It wasn't a pre-packaged program pulled off a shelf. It was a strategic, human-centered intervention designed for this specific team, informed by real data from the people doing the work. GCG's approach works because it meets organizations where they are — and then moves them to where they need to be." - KraftHeinz plant leader

"The Convert-Expand-Retain™ framework didn't just save the business during a crisis — it gave the sales team a more effective and efficient way to sell that outlasted the pandemic. What began as a survival strategy became a permanent competitive advantage." - Global Consulting Firm leader

"Andrea helped us win a $550K government contract in 6 weeks. She optimized our operations, implemented AI capabilities that differentiated our proposal, and transformed our competitiveness. We beat firms 10x our size." — Director of Business Development, Government Contractor

 "I had the pleasure of working with Andrea as my Executive coach last year. I was curious about Board membership and wanted to prepare myself to be Board ready. Andrea sent me questions in advance of our meeting and she gracefully walked me through my options and how I navigate from my current path to where I needed to go. She was open and vulnerable with me on her successes and failures and also followed up with me after our meeting providing additional resources and information to help me on both my career and personal journeys. I felt comfortable and safe with Andrea's guidance. Thanks Andrea" - F500 CFO
