Fractional COO for CPG brands

Get your product from zero to shelf.

I built a natural skincare brand from my house to Target and Thrive Market, then sold it. Now I help CPG founders cost it, price it, make it, ship it, and sell it, without the expensive mistakes.

  1. Pick a service

    Choose the fixed-price service that fits and pay securely through Stripe.

  2. Kick off

    I reach out to schedule a kickoff call and gather what I need: your numbers, logins, and goals.

  3. I do the work

    You get the deliverables on the stated timeline, with a walkthrough so you can use them.

  4. Decide what's next

    Run with it yourself, or line up the next project. No pressure either way.

About

Engineer. Founder. Operator.

I'm Cassy. I started my career as a mechanical engineer, running new automotive programs from purchase order to production. Then I started FATCO, a natural skincare brand, in my house.

Over ten years I did every job there was: formulation, sourcing, costing, fulfillment, retail sales, subscriptions, email, and influencers. FATCO landed in Target and Thrive Market, and I sold the company in 2024.

Now I help founders do the same thing faster, with fewer expensive mistakes. I mentor emerging non-alcoholic beverage brands, and I built Zero to Shelf for founders who need an operator without hiring a full-time COO.

FAQ

Good questions.

Who do you work with?

Early-stage CPG founders in food, beverage, beauty, and personal care, from pre-launch through your first retail accounts. If you make a physical product and sell it DTC, wholesale, or in retail, I can help.

I'm not sure which service I need. Where do I start?

Book the Ops Strategy Call. In 90 minutes we'll find the biggest problem, and you'll leave with a plan, whether that's a project with me or something you can handle yourself.

How does payment work?

You pay up front through Stripe when you book. Once payment comes through, I reach out to schedule your kickoff. The KPI Report is billed monthly, and you can cancel anytime.

When does the turnaround clock start?

After our kickoff call, once I have the information and access I need from you.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. I'm based in Northern California and work with brands anywhere in the US.

Can you help with something that isn't listed?

Probably. Email me what you're working on and I'll tell you straight whether I'm the right fit.

Let's get it done.

Tell me what you're building and where you're stuck. I'll reply within two business days.
