The Operator Founders call when they're scaling faster than their systems
You're growing. The team is bigger than it was six months ago. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you've become the bottleneck — the person every decision runs through, every problem lands on, every question waits for.
That's exactly when I come in.
15 yrs supporting CEOs & Founders | Scaled 10→75+| $50M+ fundraising operations | 30+ offsites led
No pressure, no pitch — just clarity.
ABOUT XICA
I'm Xica — a fractional Chief of Staff and operational partner who has spent 15 years working alongside CEOs and founders at the moments that matter most. I've scaled teams from 10 to 75+, owned the operational functions of two Series A and B fundraising runs, and built the internal systems that let fast-moving companies grow without breaking.
I've also designed and facilitated 30+ company offsites and leadership summits — not as an event planner, but as a strategic operator who builds the agenda, runs the alignment sessions, and creates the accountability structures that keep momentum alive long after everyone goes home. That work has contributed to three consecutive Inc. Best Places to Work wins.
I've worked across financial services, retail and omnichannel commerce, health tech, and SaaS. I use Claude and AI-powered workflows to move faster and eliminate the operational drag that eats founder time. And I show up as a true partner — not a vendor, not a task manager, but someone who has been in the room and knows what it takes.
If you're building something and you need a strong operator in your corner — let's talk.
No pressure, no pitch. Just clarity on whether this is the right fit.
