What is a fractional executive?
A fractional executive is an experienced C-suite leader who works with multiple companies on a part-time or project basis. They bring the same depth of expertise as a full-time hire, without the $200,000+ annual compensation package.
Fractional CMO
Brand, demand gen, content strategy, and GTM leadership.
Fractional CRO
Revenue operations, sales process, pipeline, and team enablement.
Fractional CFO
Financial foundation, fundraise readiness, and ongoing finance leadership.
Fractional COO
Ops build-out, scaling infrastructure, and process overhaul.
Fractional CEO
Interim leadership, founder transitions, and turnaround situations.
GTM Consultant
Go-to-market strategy, product launches, and positioning work.
Why hire fractional
Senior expertise without full-time cost
A Fractional CMO with 20 years of experience costs $6,000 to $12,000 a month. A full-time CMO costs $250,000 or more annually before equity.
Faster than hiring
A fractional executive can start in days. A full-time executive search takes 3 to 6 months. If you have a problem now, you need an answer now.
No long-term commitment
Fractional engagements are scoped and time-bound. You get the expertise for the duration you need it, not tied to an employment contract.
Pattern recognition across companies
A fractional executive has seen the same problem at 10 different companies. They know what works and what doesn't before they start.
Lower risk than a full-time hire
A bad executive hire can set a company back 12 to 18 months. A fractional engagement is scoped, time-bound, and easy to adjust. The downside is bounded.
Immediate impact, no ramp time
A seasoned fractional executive doesn't need six months to get up to speed. They've done this before and know where to focus in the first 30 days.
