Adam King Hi, I'm Adam.

I help early-stage companies scale smarter.

Fractional Chief of Staff with the engineering depth to ship alongside the team. I work with founders to set up the rhythms a growing team needs, drive cross-functional execution, and handle the technical work that's been piling up.

How I help.

Cross-functional execution

Migrations, launches, vendor consolidations, fundraises, board prep. I build the plan, organize the team, and drive the schedule from start to finish.

Cross-team work that's been stuck starts moving again.

Operating cadence & systems

Weekly cadence, planning rhythm, useful metrics, and a tool stack that works for the team. The operating system a 10–50 person company needs as it scales.

A team that runs on rhythm.

Platform & engineering work

Internal tools, integrations, infrastructure work, automation. I write the code and run the deploys.

The technical work that's been piling up is no longer piling up.

Background

With 10+ years across aerospace, tech, and AI, I've managed complex programs at Planet Labs, analyzed supply-chain operations at Apple, and most recently led operations at FlexAI — a venture-backed AI infrastructure startup — from seed stage through Series A.

I'm a fractional Chief of Staff for founder-led companies. I take on the cross-functional work that's stalling, install the operating rhythm the team is outgrowing, and handle the technical work that's been waiting.

I'm technical enough to automate what I build and strategic enough to sit in the room with investors.

Async-First

Submit requests via email, Slack, or Linear. I triage and get to work. You'll hear from me when there's something to show.

Your Own Project Space

Every engagement gets a dedicated Linear project, shared Slack channel, and shared doc space — Google Docs or your team's preference. Add as many requests as you want.
