Founder priorities.
Turn decisions into plans, clarify what needs your attention, and bring options when the next step is not obvious.
Fractional Chief of Staff for founder-led service businesses
Keep your standards. Stop carrying every detail.
You know what good work looks like. You shouldn't have to stay involved in every conversation to help it happen.
I work alongside you to lead important projects, coordinate directly with clients and teams, and turn priorities into clear plans and follow-through.
The work is delegated. The context still lives with you.
Assigning work is not the same as knowing the people involved understand the expectations, relationships, and judgment behind it.
- A client changes the brief, but the team is still working from the original plan.
- Two contributors are waiting on each other, and the deadline is getting closer.
- A decision reaches you without the options or recommendation you need to make it.
Your involvement should be intentional, not constant.
Hi, I'm Sapir.
I care about the details, too. I want to understand why something matters before deciding what should happen next.
I started Sapphire OBM after my husband's brain injury changed our family's circumstances. Building work around that reality made me pay closer attention to the people behind every process.
Today, I bring that perspective to leading projects, guiding client conversations, and helping founders share responsibility more confidently.
Read My StoryWhat I take responsibility for
I connect decisions, conversations, and delivery across the people involved, while keeping authority and expectations explicit.
Client and partner coordination.
Lead agreed client and partner conversations, clarify commitments, and make sure the people delivering the work know what has changed.
Strategic projects.
Establish owners and milestones, resolve dependencies, and lead the initiative through implementation and handover.
Systems, documentation, reporting, automation, and appropriate AI can support the work when they are useful.
Let's make what matters clear.
Clear expectations make it easier for capable people to do good work without sending every question back to you.
Understand the standard.
We use examples and questions to make a good result easier to recognize and deliver.
Agree how to communicate.
We establish useful updates, feedback, and decision points so important information has a clear place to go.
Keep the context.
Decisions and expectations are documented so the work does not depend on repeated explanations.
Keep moving thoughtfully.
I raise concerns, explain tradeoffs, and help identify what needs attention now.
