First, Gain Traction to Grow

Driving traction and achieving your vision. We begin by aligning on a roadmap to strengthen and scale your business, focused on driving execution.

Then, Gain More Freedom

Shift from hands-on to high-level. Your COO/#2 Leader is your constant confidant: clearing roadblocks, seizing opportunities, and reinforcing your operational core without pulling you back into the weeds.

You now have a leveled-up leadership team that solves problems independently, drives smart decisions, and manages people and projects with clarity and confidence

With focus and structure in place, your business runs with consistency. Processes are documented and followed. Duplicated effort is eliminated. Nothing mission-critical slips through the cracks.

The Essentials

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Wolf’s Edge Fractional COO (Integrator)?
Wolf’s Edge Fractional COOs are seasoned executives who have built and led successful businesses, and now help others do the same by becoming their strategic right-hand leader. They serve as the Integrator (COO or #2 leaders) on your leadership team, partnering with you to remove chaos, strengthen your team, and drive execution across the business. They are not project managers or meeting facilitators. They are leaders who align people, solve problems, and get the business moving forward without you needing to be in the weeds.

We offer three types of Integrators, each designed for different stages of growth:

  • Operational Integrator: Helps early-stage or operationally chaotic companies build systems, structure, and consistency.
  • Conductor Integrator: Ideal for businesses with an existing leadership team that needs alignment, accountability, and traction.
  • Executive Integrator: Built for companies preparing to scale aggressively or already running at a high level. This Integrator brings strategic leadership and experience scaling organizations at size.

Each type brings a high level of experience and focus, matched to where your company is, and where you want to go.

Take the MOAA Assessment to find out. It’s a free tool we developed to help business owners understand their current business stage, current type of integrator and what they need to reach their desired stage. 

It only takes a few minutes and gives you instant insight into where your business stands and what kind of support would move the needle most. You can take the assessment here

Your Wolf’s Edge COO, Integrator, or #2 leader spends the first few weeks meeting with you, your leadership team, and other key employees to understand your business, how things work, where the issues are, and what’s important.

We deliver a proposed Chaos to Control Roadmap™, align with you on priorities, and begin driving execution.

We do this through weekly Same Page Meetings, leading weekly Level 10 meetings, meeting with leadership team members one-on-one, driving execution of priorities, and owning strategic Rocks like replacing key hires, rolling out tech platforms, or coaching teams on process documentation.

In the first 30 days, we focus on understanding your business, building relationships, and diagnosing key pain points. By day 45, we present your customized Chaos to Control Roadmap™.

In the next 30 days, we align your team around the plan, establish meeting rhythms, clarify roles, and begin coaching your leaders.

By 90 days, you’ll see tangible momentum: clearer accountability, improved communication, and measurable traction toward your goals.

Our monthly retainers typically range from $6,500–$13,000 depending on the type of integrator you need, and the requirements your business has to scale. 

Our clients require high-level strategic leadership from someone who’s owned or run a business before—not just a project manager. Our rates reflect the experience required to truly move the needle.

Yes. We often support businesses in transition. If you have an existing COO or Integrator, we can:

  • Coach and develop them through our Integrator Coaching service
  • Supplement their leadership while they grow into the role
  • Help you assess whether a different fit is needed

Whether you’re trying to level-up your current #2 or replace them with a long-term solution, we’ll help you get clear and move forward.

Most engagements last between 9–18 months. The goal is to get your business running without daily involvement from the owner and either elevate someone internally or hire a long-term full-time Integrator.

We don’t bill by the hour. We focus on outcomes.

That said, most of our Integrators dedicate 1 to 1.5 days per week to each client. You get consistent, senior-level leadership with the flexibility of a fractional engagement.

After your discovery and proposal calls, we introduce the Integrator on our team who we believe is the best fit based on:

  • Availability
  • Ability to solve your challenges
  • Personality fit
  • Relevant industry experience

If it’s not the right match, we’ll find someone who is.

We are for business owners who:

  • Want to build a self-managing business
  • Are ready to partner with an experienced executive
  • Need real traction—not more meetings

We are not for:

  • Owners who just need a meeting facilitator or project manager
  • Teams without at least two other leaders beyond the founder
  • Businesses looking for only minor tweaks

An EOS Implementer runs full-day sessions and teaches the EOS® tools. They don’t execute in between sessions.

Your Wolf’s Edge Integrator joins your team, owns execution, and drives the actual implementation. They are accountable for results—not just facilitation.

We recommend working with both. That way, the Implementer focuses on EOS education while your Integrator drives the day-to-day.

To learn more about the EOSi role, take a look at this resource. 

No. But your business must use some kind of structure.

If you’re working with another cohesive structure like Scaling Up, Pinnacle, BOS-Up, or another one, we’ll work with you and your coach as your #2 Leader.

If you’re not already using some other specific business operation system, we use EOS because it works, and all of our clients use EOS tools to some extent—either before working with us or once we begin the engagement.

Think of EOS like a shared language that helps us move faster, make better decisions, and avoid confusion.

The COO / #2 Leader / Integrator leads the leadership team and ensures the whole business is aligned and executing the vision. Everyone on the leadership team reports to them—even in a fractional role.

A VP of Ops or GM is one member of that team, focused on running day-to-day operations and delivering the product or service.

At Wolf’s Edge, we focus only on the strategic 20% of the role as your Integrator. Someone on your team handles the operational 80% and reports to us.

  • Every Integrator has owned or led a business
  • We don’t just give advice, we drive execution
  • We give you a roadmap, traction, and results

Our goal is never to stay forever. We help:

  • Promote someone internally into the COO/Integrator role
  • Hire a long-term external Integrator
  • Transition out with a leadership team that can run the business without us

You keep the systems, structure, and clarity. We step away.

Yes! While most of our clients are in the U.S. or Canada, we also support companies in other English-speaking countries. If your team operates in English and the time zones are compatible we can likely help.

You may be ready if:

  • You’re in the weeds and can’t scale further
  • Your team isn’t fully accountable
  • You feel stuck despite big goals

If you’re unsure, take the MOAA Assessment to find out what kind of support you actually need.

OPERATIONAL INTEGRATOR

As an Operational Integrator, you thrive on building order from chaos. You’re a hands-on leader—establishing, documenting, and systematizing processes that power product or service delivery. You take pride in training teams, setting up well-oiled systems, and laying the groundwork for scalable growth. 

Operational Integrators enjoy serving as the steady #2, helping early-stage companies get the right people in the right seats and form their first true leadership team.

Your superpowers:
  • System Building: Transforms chaos into clarity by establishing documented, repeatable processes.
  • Hands-On Leadership: Dives into the trenches, troubleshooting bottlenecks and setting up new workflows side-by-side with the team.
  • Foundation Laying: Creates the operational backbone for scalable growth.
  • People Alignment: Spots and fills right seats, guiding the formation of a true leadership team.
  • Change Implementation: Drives rapid adoption of new systems and early “quick wins.”

CONDUCTOR INTEGRATOR

Conductor Integrators align the team as if it was an orchestra, you’re at your best leading teams and initiatives across the business. You transform functional leads into true owners, drive long-stalled projects over the finish line, and ensure every department operates in sync. Your focus is on alignment and accountability, elevating contributors into empowered leaders, and making sure everyone works from the same strategic playbook at the same tempo. 

Conductor Integrators help companies shift from “everyone depends on the founder” to “everyone owns their lane.”

Your superpowers:
  • Orchestration: Aligns cross-functional teams (sales, ops, marketing, finance) to work from one strategic playbook.
  • Culture Building: Instills accountability and elevates contributors into fully empowered leaders.
  • Initiative: Unsticks long-stalled projects and ensures forward momentum across departments.
  • Tempo Setting: Gets everyone moving in sync—no more siloed teams or “herding cats.”
  • Elevation: Helps underperformers grow into strong function owners.

EXECUTIVE INTEGRATOR

Is strategy your main focus? Then you are an Executive Integrator. You bring a strategic mindset and operational excellence to organizations ready to get on that rocket and take their business to the next level. 

You’ve been in the driver’s seat for $25M–$100M+ companies, guiding cross-functional teams through complex growth. You’re both a big-picture advisor and an execution leader—aligning top leaders, building clear roadmaps, and driving measurable results.

Executive Integrators excel in mature, ambitious companies where accelerating growth and eliminating guesswork is the priority.

Your superpowers:
  • Strategist: Designs and communicates clear, ambitious roadmaps for complex organizations.
  • 10X Scaling: Brings a proven track record guiding businesses through rapid growth and transformation.
  • Top Team Developing: Grows and aligns senior leadership, making them fully self-managing and outcome-driven.
  • Big-Picture: Eliminates guesswork for the CEO and board. 
  • Results Driver: Delivers measurable outcomes, not just activity, and removes barriers to high-velocity growth.
