An Interim executive typically works for a company full-time for a pre-determined period of time. For instance, Interims may be used cover someone’s parental leave, or to run a company or department until a new leader is recruited.

In contrast, a Fractional executive works for a company on an going, part-time basis. For instance, a Fractional CMO may be the CMO for 3 companies at once, dedicating a third of his time to each company. This is an ideal move for companies that don’t yet need (or can’t yet a afford) a full-time executive overseeing something.

As a third option, a Consultant is someone who works with a client on a specific project or issue, typically on a retainer or hourly basis and with a pre-defined scope.

Consulting firms or digital agencies will invariably have a bias toward selling you a bigger scope: additional projects, more team members, higher fees, or more marketing spend (which increases their commission).

In contrast, as a solo advisor selling just my time and expertise, I don’t have these incentives.

Additionally, agencies very often will assign your account to the most junior (read: least expensive) person possible, while senior leaders only look at it occasionally when there is a problem. You have no visibility into just how much time they spend on your account, who exactly worked on your account, or for what exactly you are being billed.

In contrast, you get me and only me, 100% of the time, for the exact duration you request and with full transparency.

There is no “ideal” client. However, here are a few illustrative cases below:

Businesses

• Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs), or businesses trying to scale up their operations, that may need help on “what the next stage looks like”

• High-growth businesses that need to implement “bigger-company” governance and operations

• Businesses without a Digital expert in-house

• Businesses transitioning to Digital or that want to improve their Digital game
  

Individuals

• Anyone that requires a high-caliber trusted advisor who’s “been there and done that,” as opposed to a generic coach

• Young professionals looking for mentorship and guidance on life and career

• People looking for an insightful, rigorous thought partner in a complex life or business decision

Rates are typically $250 an hour for ad-hoc work. Volume discounts are provided based on the scope and duration of the engagement.

Heavy discounts are provided for nonprofits, B-corps and individuals experiencing hardship.

Your first 30-minute discovery call is free. After that, each hour is billed according to a pre-agreed rate.

For each session, the client brings a specific issue with which they are struggling. By asking questions, the coach shines a light on different angles to the issue while simultaneously moving the client toward creating their own solution to it. Sessions typically last 60 minutes. They can be done in person, over video or on the phone. Sessions are typically held 1 to 3 weeks apart, depending on the client.
