Small Business Operations Consultant & Fractional COO Services

Simplifying Systems. Scaling Impact. Supporting You.

Burnout isn’t a business model.

At Blaize Management, we provide fractional COO services and business operations consulting to help small businesses, startups, and nonprofits move from reactive and disorganized → to clear, confident, and built to grow.

Whether you’re seeking workflow optimization, an operations assessment, or strategic project management support, we bring clarity to chaos—so your systems finally support your success.

Strategic

We blend strategic thinking with roll-up-your-sleeves execution.

Advantage

We believe simplicity is a superpower, and we use it to cut through the chaos.

Approach

We lead with empathy, not ego, because people come before processes.

Operational success should be inclusive, not one-size-fits-all.

Your Trusted Fractional COO for Small Business & Nonprofits

I’ve experienced environments where chaos drained creativity and outdated administrative systems stretched teams thin. It didn’t just cost time. It cost people their well-being.

I’m Jumoké Blaize, Fractional COO, Operations Strategist, and Founder of Blaize Management. With nearly two decades in operations and project leadership, I’ve seen how unclear processes erode time, profit, and team morale.

At Blaize Management, we help business owners and lean teams transform overwhelm into clarity. We provide strategic operations support to streamline scattered workflows, design sustainable administrative systems, and build structures that align with how you work. No more guesswork or temporary fixes. Just tailored solutions and a clear path forward.

Because operational efficiency isn’t just about productivity. It’s about peace of mind, confident leadership, and creating workplaces where people and purpose thrive. When systems work, people do too. And thriving people build thriving businesses.
