Sometimes, you don’t need to bring on another full-time executive. You need someone who can step in, bring clarity, lead from within, and help move the business forward with empathy, ability, and trust.

Interim Leadership offers custom-fit support for businesses that are growing, evolving, or navigating change. Whether you're expanding your team, adjusting operations, or filling a leadership gap, I partner with you from the inside to keep things steady and strategic.

Have we met?

I'm Katie Taylor, founder of The Outsourced COO. I serve as a leadership partner for business owners who are growing quickly, carrying too much, or navigating high-stakes change.

I bring a rare blend of operational clarity, executive-level thinking, and people-centered leadership that helps businesses move forward without the chaos or confusion that so often slows them down. Whether I’m stepping in to fill a leadership gap, guiding the next phase of team growth, or supporting a founder ready to reclaim their vision, I help create alignment, traction, and breathing room.

My background spans business development, strategic planning, team leadership, and revenue operations—so I can flex between strategy and execution with ease. I’ve worked inside fast-paced service businesses, led major transitions for nonprofits, and coached owners through make-or-break seasons with a calm, collaborative approach.

I’m not here to take over your business. I’m here to help you lead it more effectively—whether that means handling operational decisions, building team infrastructure, or giving you space to think and breathe again.
