What’s Offered

A CEO Office is not bureaucracy. It's the operational infrastructure, executive communications and leadership enablement that create clarity, protect leadership capacity and keep strategic work moving.

TMR & Co. works with founders and CEOs whose teams have outgrown founder-led operations through three engagement models: Fractional Chief of Staff support, complete CEO Office builds, or focused sprints addressing single systems.

Here's what that looks like in practice.

  • Operational Infrastructure

    Decision frameworks, governance rhythm, information flow and AI-enabled workflows that keep leadership aligned and focused.

    Challenges addressed:

    • Decisions bottleneck at the top with no clear framework for who decides what

    • Strategic work keeps getting pushed aside for firefighting

    • No rhythm or structure to keep priorities on track

    What's delivered:

    • Decision-making frameworks that clarify ownership and speed up execution

    • Operating rhythms and planning cycles that protect leadership time

    • Information systems that keep the right people informed without overload

    • Workflow design and handovers that prevent work from stalling

    • Automation and AI tooling that eliminates repetitive work, speeds up processes and creates capacity for strategic focus

  • Executive Communications

    Internal and external messaging that connects vision to execution and builds trust across teams, boards and investors.

    Challenges addressed:

    • Board materials created last minute without a clear narrative

    • Key messages getting lost or creating confusion

    • Leadership visibility inconsistent or unclear

    What's delivered:

    • Board materials and strategic reviews that land with clarity and purpose

    • Company updates and internal communication with repeatable formats and clear rhythms

    • Strategic storytelling that turns direction into narrative people can follow and act on

    • Speaking preparation, LinkedIn presence and content development in the leader's authentic voice

    • Messaging for difficult conversations that strengthens trust rather than eroding it

  • Leadership Enablement

    Structure and rhythm around the leadership team and executive support that expand capacity and sustain momentum.

    Challenges addressed:

    • Over-reliance on senior leaders to keep things moving

    • EAs functioning as calendar managers rather than force multipliers

    • Leadership team lacking clarity on how they work together

    What's delivered:

    • Leadership operating structures that define how decisions get made, priorities set and accountability maintained

    • EA hiring, development and systems that elevate support functions into strategic enablers

    • Chief of Staff-level structure and rhythm introduced fractionally, building capacity without increasing headcount

    • Cross-functional alignment mechanisms that reduce coordination overhead and keep execution steady
