For Founders & CEOs

Embedded Fractional Operational Leadership

Running an organization doesn’t have to feel so heavy

We know what it’s like to lead through growth and complexity.
You’re answering questions that shouldn’t need escalation, stepping in when execution stalls, and holding the whole picture in your head while trying to move the organization forward.

You’re building, managing, and course-correcting at the same time.
And while the work is meaningful, it’s harder than it needs to be, because progress depends too much on you staying in the middle.

You might imagine stepping away for a week without things slowing down.
But right now, you know the system wouldn’t carry the work without you.

Here’s the good news:

It can. And it should.

Organizations don’t scale by asking leaders to do more.
They scale by building the operating clarity, decision structure, and rhythm that enable execution to continue without constant intervention.

That’s the work Madrid Operations Group exists to do.

Is this you?

You’re the person everything runs through, which means progress slows the moment you step away (and you’re tired of being the bottleneck).

You want the organization to move without you constantly translating, clarifying, and following up, but you don’t know how to redesign the system without breaking momentum.

You know execution shouldn’t require this much effort, yet priorities blur once they leave the leadership room.

You’re carrying too much context in your head and wishing decisions, standards, and ownership lived somewhere other than you.

You want your team to operate with confidence and consistency because you know strong execution is what protects trust, culture, and results.

Here’s the thing:

You’re not failing, and this isn’t a people problem.

It’s an infrastructure gap.

Founders shouldn’t be carrying day-to-day execution

Founders and CEOs aren’t trained to be the operating system. They’re trained to see opportunity, set direction, and make judgment calls when it matters most.

Yet over time, they end up managing the details. Clarifying priorities. Unblocking decisions. Following up on work that should already be moving.

The truth is: Execution can be designed. Your vision cannot be outsourced.

Imagine an organization that runs without you in the middle

What if you didn’t have to be the one translating strategy into action every week?

What if decisions moved forward without constant escalation because the rules were clear?

What if priorities held steady under pressure because the operating model supported them?

What if you had an operating partner who could step in, quickly understand the complexity, and build the structure your organization needs, without months of ramp-up or performative consulting?

That’s exactly what Madrid Operations Group does.

We embed alongside leadership teams to design the systems, rhythms, and clarity that allow organizations to execute, without relying on the CEO to hold it all together.

How We Can Help

Embedded operating leadership, for the organization and the leaders inside it

Forget the whiplash of premature hires, fragmented consultants, or leadership carrying execution alone.
Madrid Operations Group embeds as senior operating leadership to design and stabilize the systems that allow work to move without constant executive intervention.

This isn’t advisory from the sidelines.
It’s hands-on operating work that builds clarity, rhythm, and follow-through.

Defining what matters now, what doesn’t, and how priorities hold under pressure
Clear decision rights, escalation paths, and accountability that don’t rely on the CEO
Meeting cadences, planning cycles, and review loops that keep work moving consistently

Translating strategy into coordinated action across teams and functions
Designing the structures beneath the work so progress doesn’t depend on heroics
Reducing noise, follow-ups, and rework so leaders can focus on direction, not cleanup
