About

Donald Ellis

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

Hello, I’m Donald.

In life I carry a broad mission—to reach out to those who may have lost their way and guide them toward purpose. In the business world, I often encounter owners who feel that their business has taken control rather than the other way around. Some can pinpoint the gaps, while others remain unaware. My role in companies is to restore completeness by identifying those gaps and providing CEOs with the necessary resources, ensuring they leave a lasting legacy and positively impact the world.

Let’s connect and collaboratively create a meaningful impact!

More About Us

Who we are, What We do, and how.

We are not consultants. We are an Operating Partner! Unlike traditional consultants, we do not leave after giving you a report. We work in your business with you, hands-on, for as long as you want us to.

Our objective as an operating partner is to help you steward your business well and build an operation that runs with excellence—right from the start.

After over a decade of working alongside and observing CEOs, we saw a common pattern: new CEOs often step into their roles without a understanding how to structure and scale their companies. This isn’t judgement because many of us are often forced into roles because of external circumstance and life events. However, Organization Design—a practical framework for building strong businesses—is rarely understood, yet it’s essential. That’s why  MyCOO was created: to help design businesses and organizations demystify operations, offer real-time support, and ensure you’re never leading alone.

When you team with us, you’re not just gaining tools—you’re gaining a partner. Someone you can reference in the room with banks, investors or other business meetings: “I need to check with MyCOO and get back to you.” We’re here to help you make the most of the resources you already have, so your business runs effectively, efficiently and with excellence at every stage.

 

CEOs and high level executives prefer concise summaries, but others employees require more comprehensive details. We act as the bridge between these diverse information needs, adept at explaining concepts to people on both ends of the spectrum. We excel at refining, editing, and presenting information in a digestible manner.

Business administration and operations can often appear chaotic and ambiguous. We thrive in bringing structure to chaos, and adding clarity to ambiguity by creating effective systems. While perfection may not always be achievable, We ensure that things improve significantly from their initial state.

We do "shoot first and aim later." Before embarking on new initiatives, we prioritize identifying and standardizing what's known to minimize uncertainties. This approach may require some time initially, but it saves a considerable amount of money and energy in the long run.

Our sweet spot is connecting your vision of how you want the business to operate with the practicality required for it to operate well.
