Strategy and Operations Leaders (SOLs) can exist at multiple levels within an organization.

We specialize in certifying C-Suite Level SOLs to become the right-hand person to a CEO as a Fractional CSOO.


CSOO = Chief Strategy and Operating Officer

The Evolution of a CEO's Right Hand Person


We've all heard that what got you here won't get you there. 

Well, the same is true of the team.

WHO got you here won't get you there.

As a business continues to grow, the needs for the CEO's right-hand person does as well.

A VA is typically all a business needs to get to their 1st 6 figures.

To take their business from 6-figures to multi-6 figures, an OBM is typically a pivotal role.

Fast forward to leading a high multi-7, 8, or 9+ figure empire, and a business hires a full-time internal C-Suite including a COO.

But what about the messy middle of scaling from multi-6 to multi-7 figures?

The business doesn't have the budget (or the need) for a full-time COO yet, but they need much more than most OBMs, Integrators, or Ops Managers or Directors are (currently) trained for.

No matter how incredible and talented that person is, how capable they are, and how much of a role they played in getting the business to where it is today...

The reality is that breaking through the ceilings and plateaus that businesses repeatedly hit on their journey from multi-6 figures to multi-7 figures takes a highly specialized skillset. 


As Liam Neeson would say in Taken, "What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career...".
We certify you in these in-demand skills.
After working with thousands of online small businesses for more than 2 decades, I've observed that businesses tend to hit revenue and growth plateaus at common points once they break past multi-6 figures. 

Thankfully, not every business hits every plateau, but any plateau can be incredibly frustrating and stressful for a business owner. 

And they'll be relying on YOU to help them break through it...


Or better yet, to help them avoid the plateau all together by proactively putting the right systems, strategies, and team in place.

When a business is serious about scaling and getting sustainable results, they need a C-Suite Level SOL - a Certified Fractional CSOO.

Hi, I'm Crista Grasso

I have spent the past 2 decades helping businesses scale in simple and sustainable ways and adopt lean and agile ways of working - from the largest Fortune 50 companies in the world, to coaches, consultants, agencies, and online experts. 

Known as the "Business Optimizer", I help business owners to quickly cut through the noise and focus on optimizing the core things that will make the biggest impact to grow and scale a business.

As a unique blend of 50% right-brain and 50% left-brain, and as someone who has been a part of and worked alongside members of the C-Suite for decades, I can see simple solutions and structures in creative ways that align with exactly what the Visionary CEO of a small to mid-sized business needs.

I don't believe you need rigid or complex solutions to achieve results. You want to scale in simple, adaptable, and sustainable ways, which is both my superpower and my passion.

I created the Simplify to Scale Framework to show businesses how. And I certify strategy and operations experts to leverage the framework.

It's Time to Break Out of the Ops Box


Operations are the key to business success and scalability, but only when they are part of a complete ecosystem based on the right strategic thinking, decisions, and leadership.

Far too often, really smart and capable operational leaders get stuck in an "ops box" and never realize or get to leverage their full genius!

Maybe the businesses you work with put you in an ops box and you know you are capable of so much more...

Or maybe you inadvertently put yourself in an ops box and want to break free...

If you're ready to be seen and valued as a true strategic thinking partner who blends strategy with operations to scale the businesses you work with, you are ready to become a Certified Strategy and Operations Leader (SOL)!
