What is a virtual COO?

Time, without a doubt, is the most important resource a CEO has. Unfortunately - all too often - it is the most scarce. How do you keep your company running day-to-day, plan for the future, and build your business, while still delivering as the CEO?

Enter the virtual Chief Operating Officer (vCOO). A vCOO is a contracted resource - not an employee of the company - who reports directly to the CEO and delivers leadership expertise for critical operational functions - on demand.

CEOs need that critical partner to help them refine ideas and decide the best approach to growth, change, and the future. Strategy benefits from a trusted internal advisor who can bring objectivity, realistic feedback, and candid conversation on critical matters to the table - without adversely impacting company morale.

Engaging a vCOO from E3Insights provides a powerful, flexible and cost effective option for increasing your executive bandwidth. Our vCOO engagements are always temporary, well-defined against specific corporate objectives and - perhaps most relevant - designed to fit within your budget. Your vCOO operates in the background, focused on at-hand projects and needs - e.g., leading a corporate-wide initiative, maintaining integrity across functions, managing internal staff - without forcing you to commit to a full-time executive.

While strategy and operations are high-level functions, outsourcing all the way up to the C-suite has been around for decades and the practice is growing.

E3Insights’s vCOO services deliver years of experience across varied organizations and industries, along with the attention and expert stewardship you need to realize your vision - when you need it most. So you can rest assured knowing your company’s operations and strategy are executed the way you would execute them yourself. So you can get back to being the CEO.
