Kristen Arnold

Consultant & Fractional COO @Business Builders United

Boston, MA, US

I’ve worked side by side with seven- and eight-figure business owners to clean up the back end of their companies. We’ve untangled messy operations, fixed what’s not working, and built systems that actually hold so things run smoother, scale faster, and stop falling back on the founder.I help businesses save money, grow revenue, and keep their best people by tightening how they plan, delegate, build real world leadership and execute. It’s not about more tools or more hires. It’s about sharper strategy, stronger teams, and clear decision-making that drives real results.Before this chapter, I freelanced as a project manager, diving into all kinds of business models which is the foundation for my growth into COO roles for multi million dollar industry leading brands. That gave me a front-row seat to what breaks when a company grows and what it actually takes to fix it from the inside.I’ve also built a product-based business from scratch. I designed and produced a kids’ textile product from my home, set up the website, built the systems, scaled fulfillment, and got it into retail and wholesale accounts. I handled the legal side, the compliance, the testing—every part of it. Give me grassroots and I\'ll figure it out, give me something that is built, complex and messy and I\'ll figure that out too.Bottom line: I’ve done the work.I know what it takes to go from chaos to control, and from founder-reliant to execution-ready.
