FRACTIONAL COO & INTEGRATOR
Your Big Ideas Need a Strong Co-Pilot to Turn Your Vision into Reality
I help Visionaries with hands-on operational leadership to unblock bottlenecks and empower your team, so you can stop fighting fires and finally get back to leading.
Is Your Vision Buried in the Day-to-Day?
You’re spending all your time putting out fires. You built this company to create an impact, and freedom, but now your days are consumed by the very operations that were meant to support your vision.
Putting Out Fires
One minute it’s a team issue, the next a broken process, and the next a client complaint.
Inconsistent Execution
Execution is inconsistent across the board, and you’re the only one who can seem to fix it.
Lost Vision
You built this company to create impact and freedom, but now your days are consumed by operations.
YOUR OPERATIONAL COMPASS
I provide you leverage and clarity so you don't have to be in the driver's seat.
As your Fractional COO and Integrator, I don’t just point you in the right direction; I walk the path with you as a trusted partner in execution. I step into your business to understand your vision, identify the critical bottlenecks, and take complete ownership of the operational details.
I exist to give you leverage, clarity, and freedom.

About ACP Enlightening
I Help Owners Get Free
I’m Andrea Perales, founder of ACP Enlightening. I’ve spent my career in the trenches—as a Corporate Controller for an international oil & gas company, and then as COO for several fast-growing local businesses where I made the owner’s dream of living overseas a reality.
I’m not a “talker”; I’m a “doer”. I’ve lived through the challenges of entrepreneurship and know what it takes to push through. I don’t just understand what you’re going through—I’ve lived it.
My obsession is solving the one problem that plagues every leader.
I give you your life back.
