Fractional Integrator for US Companies Running on EOS®
Fractional Integrator for US Companies Running on EOS®
Operating leadership for US leadership teams - live in your calendar every week, in your working hours, without a full-time COO hire.
Typical engagement: $2,500–$6,000/mo
Quick answer
Krishna Kumar provides Fractional Integrator services for US companies running EOS®, delivered remotely and live inside the client's working hours every week, with on-site quarterly sessions by arrangement, for $2,500–$6,000 a month. The role runs the Level 10 Meeting, owns the Scorecard, and drives quarterly Rocks to completion.
The framework
What is a Fractional Integrator?
The Integrator runs the business day to day. The Visionary drives ideas and relationships. A Fractional Integrator fills the Integrator seat part-time.
The US is where EOS® started and where it's most deeply established: EOS Worldwide, co-founded by Gino Wickman and Don Tinney in 2008, built its original Implementer network here, and the country still has the largest concentration of Certified EOS Implementers® of any market in the world.
That maturity cuts both ways. On one hand, it's easier to find an Integrator who's seen dozens of leadership teams run the Level 10 Meeting™ well. On the other, the market is crowded enough that it's genuinely hard to tell a Fractional Integrator with real operating experience from someone who picked up the vocabulary from a weekend course.
Most US engagements run remotely, live inside the Leadership Team's working hours, with the weekly Level 10 Meeting™ landing at the same time every week without fail. On-site visits are arranged for quarterly planning sessions when the trip is worth it, not built into the weekly cadence.
Symptoms
Signs the Integrator seat is open - even if no one's said it out loud
The founder is running both seats
Founders who built the product often end up owning the vision AND chasing execution. Rocks slip, meetings run long, and nobody outside the founder is holding the team to the plan.
Level 10 Meetings run long or get skipped
Meetings move without a firm agenda, run past 90 minutes, or get cancelled during a busy sales quarter - a sign nobody owns the meeting pulse.
The Scorecard sits in a spreadsheet, unread
Numbers exist somewhere, but nobody reviews them weekly against goal, and nobody is accountable when a number goes red for three weeks running.
Rocks get set at the offsite, then stall
Quarterly priorities get set with energy in the room, then quietly stall by week six because no one is checking in weekly on percent-complete.
Scope of work
What the seat actually covers, week to week
Not advisory hours. Not a slide deck at the end of the quarter. This is the operating work of the Integrator seat, done consistently, every week.
Own the Level 10 Meeting
Set and hold the agenda, keep the meeting inside 90 minutes, drive the Issues List, and make sure IDS produces decisions instead of another round of discussion next week.
Own the Scorecard
Review the 5–15 weekly numbers against goal, flag what's off-track before it becomes a crisis, and assign a name and a date to fix it.
Drive Rock completion
Check in on each Leadership Team member's Rocks weekly, unblock what's stuck, and report a clear on-track/off-track status at the next Level 10.
Run the Accountability Chart
Confirm the right person sits in the right seat for what the business needs today, and flag GWC gaps to the founder early.
Translate vision into a plan
Take the Visionary's ideas from the V/TO and turn them into a sequenced quarterly plan the rest of the Leadership Team can execute against.
Be live in your calendar every week
Show up for the Level 10 Meeting in your working hours, same day, same time, every week - with same-day answers on anything raised between meetings.
The signature artifact
The Scorecard doesn't lie
This is the artifact a Fractional Integrator owns every week - five to fifteen numbers, reviewed against goal, with a name and a date attached the moment one goes off-track.
| Metric | Goal | W1 | W2 | W3 | W4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New leads / wk | 25 | 28 | 31 | 22 | 27 |
| Rocks on-track % | 80% | 75% | 80% | 85% | 90% |
| Cash position | $150k | 142k | 138k | 129k | 121k |
| L10 start on time | Y | Y | Y | Y | Y |
| Client churn | <2 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 4 |
Illustrative sample - your Scorecard is built around the 5–15 numbers that actually predict your business, not this list.
“We went from a Level 10 Meeting that ran two hours and solved nothing, to a 78-minute meeting with a clean Issues List and Rocks that actually finish. The Scorecard is the first thing our leadership team checks Monday morning now.”

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Are you physically in the United States?+
No. I am based in India and work with US leadership teams live, in your working hours, on a fixed day every week. Eleven years of delivering for US clients built that habit. On-site visits for quarterly sessions can be arranged when the trip is worth it. If you need someone in the room every week, I will tell you plainly that I am not your hire.
How does the time difference actually work?+
Your weekly leadership meeting lands in your morning, every week, and it does not move. Between meetings my day overlaps your morning, so anything raised the night before has an answer before your team logs in. Nothing sits for a full day.
How are US engagements contracted and paid?+
A simple monthly services agreement, invoiced in US dollars, paid by wire or ACH. I contract through my company, so your finance team gets a proper business invoice and the paperwork they expect.
We already have an EOS Implementer. Does this replace them?+
No, and it should not. Your Implementer teaches the system and runs your quarterly and annual sessions. I run the system in the weeks between. Companies with an Implementer and no Integrator usually understand EOS well and still do not execute consistently.
How do I check your references before committing?+
Ask on the fit call and I will connect you with founders and executives I have delivered for, including one where the work was hard. Public proof sits on the case studies page, in my LinkedIn recommendations, and in the coverage of my appointment as COO of Menu Order AI.
