Transition & Leadership Handoff

Navigate founder exit, leadership transitions, or operational handoffs without breaking the business.

Whether you're selling, bringing in a COO, or transitioning from founder-mode to executive team, smooth handoffs require documentation, systems, and change management. I ensure operational continuity through leadership transitions.

What's included:

  • Operational documentation and knowledge transfer systems
  • Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all critical functions
  • Role clarification and responsibility mapping for new leadership
  • Communication planning for team, clients, and stakeholders
  • Interim operational leadership during transition period
  • New leader onboarding and integration support
  • 90-day transition plan with milestones and success metrics

Who needs this:

  • Founders preparing to sell or exit their business
  • Companies hiring their first COO or VP of Operations
  • Businesses experiencing unexpected leadership turnover
  • Founders stepping back from day-to-day operations to focus on strategy

Typical outcomes:

  • Smooth transition without operational disruption or knowledge loss
  • New leadership ramps quickly with documented systems and processes
  • Team confidence maintained through clear communication and continuity
  • Business value preserved (or increased) through professional handoff

Engagement: 90-180 days depending on complexity, can include interim leadership
