DRIVING VISIONS
As a Virtual COO and Executive Consultant, Driving Visions will handle the Day-to-Day Critical Operations for Start-Up & Growth Stage companies allowing the CEO/ Founder to focus on growth and vision of the company.
What we do
Our Virtual COO and Executive Consulting services are best for smaller companies that do not yet require the services of a full-time COO but have a need for development or refinement of the business strategy as well as a management system through which to execute the strategy.
Virtual COO services are ideal for firms moving towards, but aren't quite ready for a full-time COO. Driving Visions helps support Start Ups & Growth Stage companies allowing the CEO / Founder to focus on the growth and vision of the company.
This is a much lower-cost option and, through our process, we are able to efficiently develop or refine the business strategy as needed and allocate accountability for execution to the appropriate members of the management team, until such time the company is ready to bring on full time operational leadership.
'I believe CEOs should focus on their vision.
We're here to strategically drive that vision.'
