Fractional CEO & CMO

Stop being the
ceiling in your
own business.

Does this sound like your week?

You are running the business.
The business is running you.

Most founders hit a point where the skills that built the business start working against it. You are smart, capable, and deeply invested. But you are also the single point of failure in every major decision.

The problem is not effort. You are already working too hard. The problem is structure. And structure is exactly what I build.

  • Revenue is growing but you are not getting your time back
  • Your team is capable but nothing moves without your approval
  • You have tried consultants who left you with a deck and a bill
  • You know the strategy. You just cannot find the bandwidth to execute it
  • You are doing the CEO job, the CMO job, and sometimes the intern job

"I know exactly what we need to do. I just cannot find the time to actually build it."

That is the most common thing I hear in a first conversation. Not confusion. Not a bad product. Just a founder who is stretched too thin and has not had someone to share the strategic load with yet. That is the gap I fill.


What working together looks like

I come in as your fractional CEO or CMO
and own the work your business needs.

Not a consultant who hands you a document. Not an agency that runs campaigns and reports metrics. Someone who works inside your business, holds the strategic thread, and stays accountable for execution.

01

Go-to-Market Strategy

Clear positioning, a defined ICP, and a go-to-market plan that your team can execute against. Not a deck. An actual working strategy with owners and timelines.

02

Brand and Messaging

Messaging architecture that makes your offer obvious to the right people. Positioning that differentiates you from competitors who sound exactly like you do right now.

03

Pipeline and CRM Systems

A sales pipeline that does not depend on the founder to move. Lead tracking, follow-up automation, and visibility into where every opportunity actually stands.

04

Team Alignment

Clear ownership, documented processes, and communication systems so your team can execute without pulling you into every decision. Structure that scales without you.

05

Content and Thought Leadership

A content system that builds authority, attracts the right conversations, and works consistently without requiring your daily involvement to keep it running.

06

Operational Design

SOPs, workflows, and automation that remove the manual effort from the parts of your business that should run the same way every time regardless of who is doing them.


Is this a fit?

I work best with
specific kinds of founders.

Fractional leadership is not for everyone. It works best when the business has enough traction to invest in senior support and enough ambition to actually do something with it.

If you are still figuring out your first offer, a strategy session will still be useful. But fractional engagement tends to produce the most leverage at Stage 2 and Stage 3 — when you have traction and a real bottleneck.

This is likely a strong fit if

  • You have revenue and a team but growth has slowed or stalled
  • You are the bottleneck in your own sales, marketing, or operations
  • You are ready to invest in senior leadership without a full-time hire
  • You want someone who works inside the business, not alongside it
  • You are funded or generating enough revenue to commit to a retainer

This is probably not a fit if

  • You are pre-revenue and still testing your first offer
  • You want someone to hand you a strategy and execute it for you
  • You are not open to changing how things currently run

The process

Simple from the start.

No long proposals. No three-week discovery process. One conversation to figure out if there is a fit, then we get to work.

Step 01

Book a 30-minute call

Use the calendar below. Bring your numbers and an honest picture of where things are stuck. We map out your 90-day roadmap together and figure out the fastest path forward.

Step 02

Align on scope and terms

If the call confirms a fit, we map out the engagement. What we are building, what I own, what you own, and what success looks like. No ambiguity.

Step 03

I get to work inside your business

We move fast. I am in your meetings, aligned with your team, and building the things that need building. Results show up inside the first 30 days.


Real work, real results

What this looks like in practice.

No invented numbers. No vague testimonials. Just a straight picture of what gets built and what changes when the work is done right.

Took PentEdge from pre-product to launch as their fractional CMO over a year-long engagement. Built the messaging, brand identity, and go-to-market architecture that gave the founder credibility in investor and enterprise conversations. Preserved capital by replacing multiple early-stage hires with one senior operator.

Saved the NextGen Calls CEO hundreds of hours by building their complete sales pipeline from scratch. Messaging frameworks, CRM automation, outreach scripts, and SOPs that freed leadership to focus on high-level work instead of reinventing the wheel every week.

Built complete brand identities and public presences for founders who needed to show up credibly in rooms that mattered. Positioning, messaging, and content systems that opened conversations that would not have happened without the foundational work.

Built automated CRM systems and outreach infrastructure that increased deal flow and pipeline visibility for clients whose sales process previously ran entirely through the founder. The pipeline became manageable, predictable, and no longer dependent on one person's memory.

Common questions

Things people usually ask before the call.

What does a fractional engagement actually look like day to day?

It depends on the scope we agree to, but typically I am in your weekly meetings, aligned with your team, reviewing work in progress, and making decisions with you on the things that require senior input. I am not a once-a-month advisor. I am inside the business.

How long does an engagement typically run?

Most engagements run three to six months at minimum. Real structural change takes time. Short sprints produce short results. We build for the long run.

Do I need to have everything figured out before reaching out?

No. The strategy session is specifically designed to help you figure out where the real problem is. Bring what you know, bring your honest frustrations, and we will sort through it together.

What makes this different from hiring a consultant?

Consultants give recommendations. I take ownership. There is a real difference between someone who tells you what to do and someone who is accountable for making sure it actually gets done. I am the second kind.

Is there a minimum commitment?

Yes. Fractional engagements start with a minimum three-month retainer. That is the honest minimum required to actually move the needle on the kind of problems worth solving at this level.

What if I am not sure whether I need a fractional CEO or CMO?

Bring that question to the call. The short answer is: it depends on where your biggest bottleneck is. If it is strategy and direction, CEO. If it is growth, pipeline, and brand, CMO. Often it is both. We will figure it out in 30 minutes.
