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.
This service combines big-picture thinking with practical involvement. I work directly with your team to strengthen operations, improve systems, and elevate leadership across the board — including yours.
Every engagement is tailored to your business, but it typically includes:
A leadership presence embedded within your day-to-day work
A collaborative approach that respects your culture and team dynamics
Clear cycles of work built in 90-day increments, with a focused plan each step of the way
The flexibility to adjust involvement as your needs change
what it looks like
You are facing a period of growth or transition and need more stability and focus
You’ve outgrown your current systems or structure and need help navigating what comes next
You’re the primary leader and feeling the weight of carrying everything on your own
You aren’t ready for a full-time COO but want someone who can lead like one with flexibility and purpose

- non-profit & corporate development
By identifying the right area to focus on—like financial clarity or outdated systems—clients gain control over spending, ease cash flow stress, and make smarter decisions faster. It's not just cost-cutting—it's sustainable, strategic change.
When the day-to-day stops pulling you in every direction, you can finally lead with intention. This kind of transformation isn't about working harder—it's about creating the space and structure to lead what matters most.
Each engagement starts with a collaborative scope of work based on your goals. From there, we clarify expectations, define outcomes, and get to work.
request your spot
This offer is designed to adapt to your business rather than requiring your business to adapt to it. With a 30-day onboarding period and renewable 90-day cycles, we move forward with clarity and flexibility.
This is especially valuable for organizations that want someone who can move quickly, understand the nuance of team dynamics, and provide steady leadership without taking over. I’m not here to replace what’s working. I’m here to partner with you to make it even better.

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.
