About Kimberly
About Kimberly
I've spent 15+ years in the room where operations either holds — or falls apart.
I've spent 15+ years in the room where operations either holds — or falls apart.
I'm Kimberly Sayles, a Fractional Executive Operations Partner with a career built across Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, startups, and remote-first teams. My specialty — the thing I do better than almost anything else — is building the processes, systems, and operational clarity that let leaders stop firefighting and start leading.
I work best with mission-driven executives who are serious about their work and want a partner who takes ownership. Not a vendor. Not a contractor. But a Partner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions worth answering up front.
Questions worth answering up front.
What does "fractional" mean — and how is this different from hiring an EA?
Fractional means you get senior-level, embedded operational partnership on a part-time basis — without the overhead of a full-time hire. Unlike an EA who supports tasks, I partner at the executive level on systems, operations, and organizational efficiency.
How does the retainer model work?
Each package is a flat monthly retainer with a set number of hours. There's no hourly billing or surprise invoices — you always know what you're investing. We'll agree on scope at the start and revisit as needed.
What kinds of organizations do you typically work with?
Each package is a flat monthly retainer with a set number of hours. There's no hourly billing or surprise invoices — you always know what you're investing. We'll agree on scope at the start and revisit as needed.
What happens on a discovery call?
It's a 30-minute conversation — not a pitch. We'll talk about where you are, where you want to go, and whether this is a good fit. If it is, I'll follow up with details. If it's not, I'll say so directly.
Do you offer project-based or one-time support?
Yes. Operational & Process Consulting is available as a standalone project engagement starting at $1,500. I also offer operational templates and resources in my resource shop for those earlier in their journey.
