Raemy is a fractional strategy and operations practice. We embed with small and growing businesses to sharpen the strategy, fix the operations underneath it, and implement the systems — including AI — that make it all run. Senior-level execution, only as much as you need.

The gap

You need a senior operator.
You can't yet justify a full-time one.

Growing businesses hit the same wall: the strategy lives in the founder's head, the operations route back to one person, and the hire that would fix it — a seasoned COO — runs well over $250K a year. Raemy is how you get that leadership now.

01 · STRATEGY

The plan lives in your head.

You know where you want the business to go. But it has never been written down, pressure-tested against the numbers, or turned into a roadmap your team can actually run without you in the room.

02 · OPERATIONS

The business runs on you.

Every decision, exception, and fire routes back to the founder. Growth makes it heavier, not lighter. You are the bottleneck, and there is no senior operator to hand it to.

03 · SYSTEMS

Tools, but no system.

You have bought software — maybe even AI — but without the operating design underneath it, half of it sits unused. Technology was never the hard part. The system around it is.

Why we exist

Small businesses create the jobs.
They deserve senior leadership too.

Small businesses create the majority of jobs, most of the innovation, and most of the character of every community they operate in. They do it with less capital, fewer people, and less infrastructure than anyone competing against them.

For too long, experienced operational leadership has been locked behind full-time executive salaries only large companies could afford. Raemy exists to change that.

We bring senior strategy and operations leadership — the kind that usually costs a quarter-million a year — and make it available fractionally. Hands-on, accountable to outcomes, scoped to exactly what you need. Not someday. Now.

What we do

Three ways we move
the business forward.

Most engagements blend all three. We start with the strategy, fix the operations that carry it, and build the systems — including AI where it earns its place — that keep it running.

01 · Fractional COO

Operations leadership

Embedded, hands-on operations leadership — a few days a week, not a full-time salary. We run the operating cadence, fix what is broken, and give your team someone senior to execute against.

  • Operating cadence & KPIs
  • Process redesign & SOPs
  • Hiring & team structure
  • Vendor & tooling decisions
03 · Systems

AI implementation & automation

The systems layer. Where AI and automation genuinely move the needle, we design and implement it — intake, follow-up, reporting, back-office — built on how your business actually runs, not a generic template.

  • Workflow automation
  • AI-assisted operations
  • Reporting & dashboards
  • Tool & data integration

Not sure which you need? That is what the diagnostic is for. We start with a free session, map where the real leverage is, and recommend the lightest engagement that gets you the outcome.

How we work

From strategy to execution
in four moves.

We don't hand you a deck and leave. We diagnose, plan, do the work, and stay accountable to the results.

01
Diagnostic

We spend 30 to 60 minutes mapping your business — where time goes, where margin leaks, and where the biggest operational and strategic wins are hiding. No cost, no commitment.

Free · 30–60 minutes
02
Roadmap

A prioritized strategy and operations plan: what to fix first, what each move is worth, and exactly how we will execute it together. You own it whether or not we go further.

Strategy · to roadmap
03
Execution

We embed and do the work — rebuild processes, stand up systems and metrics, and implement AI where it earns its place. Senior execution, not a recommendation you are left to run alone.

Hands-on · fractional
04
Embedded operating

Going live is the beginning. We run the operating cadence, hold the team accountable to the numbers, and keep adjusting as you scale — for as long as it adds value.

The Operating Blueprint

Your business has a brain.
We write it down.

Every business runs on knowledge scattered across people's heads, old threads, and unwritten rules. Before we change anything, we capture how your business actually works — so the strategy, the systems, and any AI we build run on reality, not a generic template.

The result is an operating system your team can run without everything routing back to you. Because it was built around how your business actually works.

About
Built by an operator.
Not an agency.

Raemy is a fractional strategy and operations practice led by Nikit Bhatt. Over 15 years, we have run operations across healthcare, hospitality, technology, and public safety — scaling businesses from launch to multi-million-dollar revenue, building teams across industries and continents, and standing up the systems that keep them running.

In every one of those rooms, the same pattern showed up: capable founders buried in work that had nothing to do with why they started. Large companies solved it with entire operations teams. Small businesses had one person wearing every hat.

Raemy closes that gap — senior strategy and operations leadership, available fractionally, accountable to outcomes. We work as an extension of your team, not a vendor handing over a report.

Engagements

Three ways to
work together.

Every engagement starts with a free diagnostic and a written plan. From there we scope the model that fits — advisory, embedded fractional leadership, or a defined project. Pricing is based on scope and cadence.

Advisory
Starts with a free diagnostic

For founders who mostly need direction, a plan, and someone senior to hold them accountable.

  • Monthly strategy sessions
  • Quarterly planning
  • Roadmap & priorities
  • Async access between sessions
  • Sounding board on key decisions

Project
Fixed scope & timeline

A defined build with a clear outcome — an operations overhaul, a systems or AI implementation, or a focused turnaround sprint.

  • Operating Blueprint included
  • Systems & AI implementation
  • Process documentation & SOPs
  • Team handoff & training
Book a call

Every engagement begins with a free diagnostic and a written plan — before any commitment. Fractional engagements run month-to-month on a retainer; projects are fixed-scope. We recommend the lightest model that gets you the outcome, and scope up only when it earns its place.
