Post-Strategy Operationalization
Your board approved the plan. Nothing has shipped. We install the operating engine in 90 to 180 days and hand it to a named internal owner.
After the deck. Before the team.
We turn board-approved strategy into a running operation. We sit between the consulting engagement and the in-house team, and we own the work until the operator math holds.

The gap we work
The strategy was not wrong. The operating engine was never built.
Most companies discover the gap the same way. A consulting firm delivered a 120-slide plan. The board approved it. Six months later, the operating metrics have not moved, the head of operations is interviewing replacements for two roles, and the founder is still the bottleneck on every cross-functional decision. The strategy was not wrong. The operating engine to run it was never built.
MBB firms cannot fill this gap because their delivery model is a staffing pyramid pointed at analysis, not at shipping. Hiring a full-time COO takes nine months on average, and the first three are spent learning a business the founder has already explained to four candidates. Fractional executive marketplaces solve a staffing problem, not an operating problem. Plenor is built for the period between the deck and the team, where the work is to install the cadence, the metric tree, and the owner map that make the strategy executable.
How we work
Three engagements. One accountable operator.
Fractional Operating Leadership
Senior operator in the seat two to three days a week, six to twelve months, until you close the full-time hire or the function matures past needing one.
Operating Diligence & Review
Outside operator review for boards, PE sponsors, and founder check-ins. Two to six weeks. Written report and executive readout.
Start small
Not ready for a full engagement? Start with a teardown.
A 90-day engagement is a large first commitment to a firm you have not watched run. The Operating Teardown is the small first step. One week, a fixed fee, and a written read on your operation: the three things breaking it, ranked, with the fix sequence. If you continue into a full engagement, the fee comes off the first invoice.

The Refusals
What we will not do.
- We do not write strategy. If you need a deck, hire a consulting firm.
- We do not run analyst pyramids. One accountable operator owns your engagement.
- We do not deliver decks as final artifacts. We deliver running systems.
- We do not work with pre-revenue companies. The operating math has to exist for us to fix it.
- We do not stay past the handoff. Permanent presence is a hiring decision, not a consulting one.
