In this episode of Peter Lohmann’s Podcast, I’m joined by Ginny Wood, former COO at LeadSimple and an experienced fractional COO who has guided multiple high-growth businesses through transformation and scaling.
Ginny shares her career journey from early days as a programmer to becoming a trusted operational leader in PropTech and beyond. We explore how she approaches stepping into companies mid-stream, the importance of building a culture of speed, and what leaders should know about property manager blind spots. Ginny also opens up about taking a mid-career sabbatical, turning off the inner critic, and how EOS continues to shape business leadership today.
If you’re a property management entrepreneur, real estate operator, or business owner looking to find the right #2 or explore fractional COO options, this conversation delivers practical insights and inspiration.
