Ladyville Consulting
Strategic Operations Leadership for Founders at Growth Inflection Points
About Ladyville Consulting
Ladyville Consulting is the practice of Rob Schaffer, a fractional Chief of Staff and operations leader dedicated to working with founders who are at critical growth inflection points. Rather than providing another layer of advisory, we serve as a strategic executor—someone who rolls up their sleeves and drives operational excellence. With a background spanning Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff roles across diverse industries including business process outsourcing, freight technology, biotechnology, background screening, and international operations, we bring deep expertise from organizations ranging from three-person pre-seed startups to enterprises with 2,000+ employees.
We understand that founders need more than advice—they need action. Based in Central, Florida, and working with clients remotely, we partner with you to build the systems, processes, and cadence that allow your business to scale efficiently. Whether you're looking to audit your current operating system or establish an ongoing operational partnership, we're here to help you identify gaps, prioritize what matters most, and execute on a roadmap that drives real results.
Our Services
Operating System Audit
A three-week, fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement that maps how your business actually runs. We assess operations, cadence, systems, and team structure to surface where ownership is missing and quantify the costs of gaps. You'll receive a prioritized roadmap you can act on with or without our continued partnership.
Fractional Chief of Staff
An ongoing monthly operational partnership featuring standing cadences of working sessions with execution between them. We handle system building, vendor conversations, document drafting, and follow-through on initiatives that would otherwise stall. A true strategic executor embedded in your operations.
Operations Leadership Consulting
Strategic guidance on scaling operations, building organizational infrastructure, and establishing effective processes. Drawing from experience across multiple industries and company stages, we help you navigate the unique challenges of growth and build an operating model that supports your vision.
