Executive-Level Operational Leadership

Without the Full-Time Overhead

Fractional COO and Interim Executive Services — Built to Drive Growth, Clarity, and Control

Trusted to Deliver

Synese is led by David Erlichman, a C-level operator with 30+ years of experience in scaling, stabilizing, and rescuing companies across industries — from high-growth startups to $800M enterprise organizations.

As a fractional and interim COO, I step into companies where something important is stuck: growth, clarity, structure, accountability, or leadership itself. I bring calm, momentum, and systems that last — and I do it quickly, with minimal friction.

The name “Synese” comes from synergy and community. That’s what I build — internally aligned teams, connected strategy, and clean execution across every layer of your business.

How I Can Help

Fractional COO Support

Part-time leadership with full-time impact. I bring structure, clarity, and accountability without adding a permanent executive seat.

Interim Executive Coverage

Step in during transitions, crises, or leadership gaps to stabilize and move things forward until permanent leadership is in place.

Scaling Systems & Ops Clarity

Build the backbone: SOPs, role clarity, KPIs, and reporting — all designed to help your company scale without burning out.

Turnarounds & Growth Recovery

Fix what's stuck. I assess root issues and lead teams out of stagnation with direct action

How I Engage

Most of my work falls into one of three models:

Lite — One day per week, typically used for light guidance, leadership rhythm, or helping a founder regain clarity. Starts at $5,000/month.

Core — Three days per week, ideal for teams in transition, companies scaling quickly, or fractional COO support with hands-on involvement. Starts at $10,000/month.

Full — Five days per week or full-time interim leadership. Often used during executive transitions, turnarounds, or pre-exit structuring. Starts at $15,000/month.

Need something different? I'm open to alternate structures, including equity or milestone-based models, depending on scope and alignment.
