Fractional COO Services

I treat my entire life as a business.  

I organize my personal appointments in a ClickUp project management system and set an agenda every month to review my spending. And yes, I time block my meditations. 

If that’s how I treat my business, I invite you to imagine how I’d treat yours.

Here’s a few more important things to know:

  • My goal in partnering with companies is twofold:

  1. Bring tangible results that help your business grow.

  2. Lead with humanity in every interaction.

  • I never want to be called a time-waster, money-sucker or general a**.

  • I might say the thing that might make things more difficult in the short term, but most impactful in the long term.

  • I pride myself on being a lifelong learner and live into that every. single. day.

 
 

Kind words from people who have worked with me

 
I had the privilege of working with Danielle during our time at deeproots partners, and I can confidently say she’s one of the most organized and detail-oriented professionals I’ve worked with. Danielle was instrumental in managing a diverse portfolio of paid media clients, creating account tracking templates and SOPs that helped streamline processes and ensure everything stayed on track.

Beyond her organizational skills, Danielle has a natural ability to bring teams together. She works seamlessly across departments, fostering collaboration and making sure everyone is aligned. Her attention to detail is exceptional—she consistently caught potential issues early and provided thoughtful solutions.

What truly sets Danielle apart is her positive, approachable demeanor. She’s calm under pressure, easy to work with, and always brings a friendly, solutions-oriented attitude to the table. Her leadership and dedication made a significant impact on our team and the success of our client campaigns.

I wholeheartedly recommend Danielle to any organization looking for a highly organized, collaborative, and results-driven professional. She would be a tremendous asset to any team.
— JOHN LA, MBA, DIRECTOR OF PAID MEDIA, DEEPROOTS PARTNERS
I don’t know that I’ve ever worked with anyone who had a stronger work ethic or more integrity. She helped me immensely, always challenged me to do my best work, and I learned a lot from you.
— JP Donahue, deeproots partners
Danielle was my manager for three years, and she was highly effective in her role. She provided clear direction, managed deadlines efficiently, and fostered a positive, collaborative work environment. She was always approachable and willing to help, creating a space where team members felt comfortable discussing challenges. Additionally, she supported professional growth, making her a strong and reliable leader.
— Shahzaib Ahmazadi, Sr SEO Analyst, deeproots partners
One of the things I respect about Danielle is how she can balance a bold, creative vision with a strategic, data-driven approach. Understanding that growing an agency to double its revenue isn’t just about dreaming big, but also about putting the right systems in place to make those dreams a reality.

More about holistic integration

It’s easy for founding team members to get siloed into their disciplines, focusing on building the business, but not the team. But what ends up lacking are:

  1. Individual OKRs with regular follow-ups

  2. Actionable values (i.e. authentic to the spirit of the company)

  3. Accountability pacts between leadership

All of which are absolutely critical to getting past year 1, 3 and 5. Without thoughtful consideration of these elements, a startup team dynamic will suffer.

And to that end, your customer will suffer, too. Hiring a holistic integrator is about the having a core team member locked into a doers productivity with the ability to zoom out to the 50,000 foot view.

 
 

What makes me, me.

 

Natural Foresight

Natural ability to think holistically, ask critical questions, and make informed decisions that take into account both immediate needs and long-term goals. Posesses an instinctual understanding of how to navigate complex situations while keeping an eye on the bigger picture.

 

Well-traveled

Having lived long-term in three countries and seven cities over the past 15 years has helped me gain appreciation for all types of people and backgrounds. I believe living outside of your comfort zone hones the resilience needed to work with people in high pressure situations.

Articulate

Enhance communication but also strengthens relationships, drives engagement, and cultivates a collaborative environment. Ability ensure that everyone feels informed and inspired to contribute towards shared objectives.

 

Dependability

Commitment to delivering on promises with high quality. Pragmatic approach to setting achievable goals, and resourcefulness in ensuring tasks are completed effectively with a dedication to meeting expectations and taking responsibility for your work.

Service-minded

I strive to take a Stoic approach to life, meaning I believe serving others is aligned with nature’s order and our capacity to positively contribute to our community.

The experience of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of LA and having a little sister to serve was an honor I’ll never forget.

Health-oriented

My focus on staying strong mentally and physically puts me in the right mental state to bring my best foot forward in a variety of interactions.
