About Me
I’m Lone Jensen - a COO and operations partner with 15+ years of experience building clarity and structure in innovation-driven companies. Having worked across startups, scaleups, and corporates in six countries, I know how quickly growth can turn exciting momentum into daily chaos. My role is to help founders and teams cut through that chaos, stay aligned, and scale with confidence.
I specialize in turning vision into execution, building scalable structures, and aligning strategy with people and culture. Leaders trust me because I don’t just design systems - I work alongside them, strengthening leadership, creating focus, and building operations that last.

How I Work
I don't just advise from the sidelines - I roll up my sleeves and work alongside you and your team.
My approach is built on three principles:
Hands-on execution
I join as part of your leadership team, not an outside advisor. I make decisions, solve problems, and put structure in place with your team so things move forward fast.
Clarity & accountability that lasts
I create routines, systems, and processes that keep execution on track long after I step out, building lasting clarity and discipline into the organization.
People-first mindset
Scaling is about people as much as processes. I build trust, strengthen leadership capacity, and align teams so they perform at their best during growth and change.
Why founders work with me
When growth creates chaos, I know how to bring clarity fast. I’ve been COO in three companies and supported dozens more through accelerators and consulting, working across startups, scaleups, and corporates in multiple countries. Founders trust me because I balance results with people - helping companies scale without losing their culture or momentum.
Real results from companies that trusted me to help them grow and scale with clarity and impact.
Fast-growing SaaS lacking structure
When growth took off, execution fell behind. I restructured operations, doubled sales capacity, improved onboarding, and built KPI tracking - giving the team clarity and focus to match their ambition.
Tech scaleup hitting growing pains
Shifting from mid-market to enterprise broke processes and strained collaboration. I aligned strategy and operations, introduced company-wide KPIs, streamlined workflows, and strengthened investor readiness - enabling smoother execution and confidence in scaling.
International expansion creating chaos
Rapid growth across six countries left teams scattered and execution inconsistent. I built scalable systems, restructured teams, and strengthened collaboration - creating clarity, alignment, and readiness for global growth.
Founder CEO carrying too much alone
CEOs often juggle investors, customers, and operations without enough leadership support. I partnered with founders on leadership, strategy, and investor readiness - building communication, stronger decision-making, and team alignment.

Let's discuss your specific challenges and explore how we can work together to turn your strategy into execution.
A fractional COO gives you senior operations leadership, without the full-time hire
What is a Fractional COO?
Not every company needs - or can afford - a full-time COO. But every growing company reaches a point where operations, people, and strategy become too complex for the founder(s) to handle alone.
That’s where a fractional COO comes in.
A fractional COO steps in part-time or for a fixed period to:
Bring clarity, focus, and structure when growth creates chaos
Free up the CEO to focus on vision, customers, and fundraising
Align strategy with day-to-day execution across the business
Build scalable systems and teams without the long-term cost of a full-time executive
The benefit: You get the impact of a seasoned COO - strategy turned into execution, teams aligned, processes streamlined - but with the flexibility and affordability that fits your stage of growth.
Who is a Fractional COO for?
A fractional COO is ideal for companies that are growing fast but need more structure, clarity, and execution power. Typical scenarios include:
Startups You’ve found product-market fit, revenue is coming in, but chaos is building. You need structure and focus to keep momentum without burning out your team.
Scaleups You’re preparing for Series A or B, expanding into new markets, or taking on larger customers. You need systems, KPIs, and leadership capacity to scale with confidence.
SMEs in Transition You’re professionalizing your business, expanding internationally, or preparing for investment or exit. You need governance, processes, and people structures that can carry you forward.
In short: If you’re a founder or leadership team juggling too much, a fractional COO gives you the partner you need to bring order to the chaos and build for growth.
