Translate Financial Clarity into Operational Power.

Our Fractional COO service embeds high-impact executive expertise into your business, building scalable processes and managing daily operations so founders can focus exclusively on vision and expansion.

I’m Andrew Runnette

For over 20 years, my career has been dedicated to one core principle: Success starts with showing up, caring about the work, and doing the small things right. I learned this early—from stocking shelves at a local market to managing complex P&Ls in national organizations.

I didn't just learn business theory; I learned how to build something from the ground up, manage uncertainty, and lead change in high-stakes environments. Now, as a seasoned operations and finance leader, I specialize in translating that deep, hands-on experience into predictable, automated processes for founder-led companies.

My Experience is Your Blueprint for Scale

When you hire me, you're getting executive experience proven in both fast-moving startups and large corporate environments:

  • Multi-Site, Multi-Million-Dollar Operations: I oversaw a regional business unit generating over $300M+ annualized revenue at Whole Foods Market , and later led the scaling of Portal Warehousing (Co-Warehousing & CRE), where I built core operational and financial systems for multi-site expansion.

  • Revenue Transformation: I have a track record of implementing systems that drive measurable growth, including executing an operational turnaround for a construction firm that scaled annual revenue from $275K to $1.8M.

  • Systems and Automation: My focus is on eliminating bottlenecks. I turn operational complexity into clear, automated processes by combining financial oversight, rigorous Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and technology integration across finance, CRM, and operations.

Expertise Across Complex Industries:

My experience is specialized to handle the unique demands of:

  • Commercial Real Estate (CRE)

  • Co-working & Co-Warehousing

  • Construction & Residential Real Estate

  • Professional Services

  • Food & Beverage (F&B) / Retail

Why Choose a Fractional COO?

You need the strategic guidance and systems implementation of an executive leader to scale efficiently—but not the $300k salary. I partner with founders to navigate critical growth phases, providing the high-impact discipline needed to secure financing, expand into new markets, and build robust, autonomous teams.
