Rick Slark | Helping Growth-Minded Businesses Overcome Growing Pains & Scale Smarter

Scaling Isn’t the Hard Part—Scaling Well Is.

You did everything right—your business is growing, sales are up, and you’re hiring. But instead of feeling in control, you’re drowning in unexpected challenges.

  • Your team has grown, but operations haven’t caught up. Processes that once worked are now bottlenecks.
  • Decision-making is slower and more stressful. More moving parts = more complexity.
  • You’re stretched thin. Hiring a full-time COO or strategy officer isn’t feasible, but you need executive-level guidance.

Without a clear strategy, growth can stall. That’s where I come in.

As a fractional growth strategist, I provide high-level strategic support without the cost of being a full-time executive. I help businesses navigate growing pains and build a foundation for sustainable success by:
Cutting through complexity to create a structured roadmap for growth.
Optimizing operations to improve efficiency and scalability.
Strengthening leadership so teams can make better, faster decisions.
Developing a strategy-first mindset to scale with confidence and clarity.
