While the team is growing
A complete operations bench on the boat until yours is hired, trained and rowing on its own. The work is written down as we do it, so it survives the handoff.
The seat that keeps the boat in time. You keep the vision.
Coxie 360 is an industry-agnostic operations firm. We sit as Chief of Staff, Director of Operations, Strategic Assistance or Executive Assistance, for startups through large companies, with a particular heart for veterans and nonprofits.
The work, from whatever seat you give us.
We can run full-scale operations while you grow a team of your own. Or we come in, learn the business, and become an extension of the team you already have, so you can scale without the seat going empty.
Inside the team you have
We learn the business as it actually runs, then sit inside it. Same standards, same rooms, no theatre of a parallel org chart.
Four seats. One firm.
The title is yours to name. The work is the same: keep the boat in time so the people with the vision can stay on the vision.
-
01
Chief of Staff
One point of contact for the whole bench. Judgment about what to carry, what to delegate, and what reaches you.
-
02
Director of Operations
The rhythms of the company, written down and run. Hiring, vendors, the calendar that actually decides the week.
-
03
Strategic Assistance
The work beside the founder: decks, investor rooms, the next ninety days, the people who need to be in them.
-
04
Executive Assistance
The details that make the rest possible. Travel, inbox, the hour that would otherwise disappear.
One trusted relationship. A bench behind it.
People building something real should never have to choose between the scale of their vision and the support required to sustain it.
Work is delegated to the bench and comes back through the Chief of Staff, measured against your standards, before it reaches you. Nothing is dumped over the transom.
We document, refine and operationalize the rhythms we are trusted with, so the seat is not a personality. Continuity holds when people change. The shape of the engagement flexes with the season rather than asking you to commit to a box before the role has proved itself.
The cadence we row to.
Service is the love language. The four lines below are already how the firm talks about itself. They are the stroke rate, not a poster.
- Be a light
- Optimism with a spine. Assume goodwill, lead with integrity, make the room safer than you found it.
- Owner’s mindset
- Start from the whole picture, then the detail. Full accountability for the outcome, with a bias toward protecting what matters most.
- Best outcome
- Not luck. Ordered steps, named owners, nothing left to drift.
- Together we endure
- Shared strain is how trust is built. Even a miss becomes a lesson, and the boat still goes.
The person in the coxswain seat.
Tara built Coxie 360 as the small force that keeps a crew in time: operations for founders who should not have to choose between the work and the rest of their life. Texas. Service is the love language, on the record, in her own words.
- Who it is for
- Startups through large companies. Industry-agnostic. A particular heart for veterans and nonprofits.
- How it feels from the other seat
- One partner. A bench. The work written down. Privacy held, because a degree of separation is part of the job.
- The old coxswain line
- Much like a coxswain, the small force who sets the rhythm and keeps the crew rowing in sync.
