About Kathy Harrell-Latham
I help founders, managing partners, and boards build audit-ready, scalable operations in regulated and rapid-growth environments. As a fractional COO and operator (J.D, PMP), I turn complex requirements into clear plans, strong execution, and measurable outcomes—without losing the human side of change.I’ve led 4–350 people across multiple locations and owned P & Ls in organizations ranging from $350K to $100M. I’ve delivered results across startups, nonprofits, privately owned businesses, VC/PE-backed firms, and publicly traded companies by focusing on the two levers that scale: people and process.My leadership style is calm, direct, and execution-driven. I create clarity in expectations, build accountability through simple metrics, and coach teams to operate with confidence—especially when the stakes are high and timelines are tight. I don’t hand over a slide deck and walk away; I build the operating system with your team, support adoption, and leave behind capability through playbooks, training, and repeatable rhythms.Recent results include:*Stood-up audit and PMO capabilities by building the team, designing processes, creating templates, and implementing workflows across highly regulated, time-sensitive functions.*Supported the strategic acquisition of a $500K EBIT business to enable entry into a regulated, closed $5B market.*Saved $100K by identifying risks, implementing programs, and navigating operational change while maintaining compliance with federal and state laws.*Achieved compliance for a key vendor to Google across contractual requirements, federal regulations, and all 50 states by building SOPs, templates/forms, and training employees.*Reduced fulfillment cost and cycle time by 300% by implementing drop-shipping and e-commerce models.Ways to work with me:*Fractional COO / Operations Leadership: execution, operating cadence, metrics, team leadership, and delivery discipline*Compliance + Audit-Ready Sprint (60–90 days): SOPs, controls, documentation, training, and readiness*PMO Buildout + Delivery System: templates, workflows, governance, prioritization, and reporting*Board / Executive Advisory: strategic planning, change leadership, and risk managementIndustries: professional services, healthcare technology, government, law firms, content/publications, health & wellness, logistics, staffing, collections, e-commerce, economic development, nonprofit, Fortune 500, and Big Tech.Message me and let\'s continue the conversation of how I may be able to assist your organization reach its goals.
