A fractional executive provides senior leadership expertise on a part-time or project basis, giving companies access to executive-level experience without the commitment of a full-time hire. This approach is particularly valuable for growing companies that need strategic guidance but may not require or be able to afford a full-time executive.
Many consultants focus on implementing best-practice "playbooks." My work starts a level deeper. I believe lasting solutions require an honest diagnosis of the root problem, which is often systemic and cultural, not just technical. My approach combines rigorous systems analysis with a deep focus on creating the conditions for candor and intellectual honesty. I don't give you a playbook; I help you understand and rewire your organization's unique operating system.
I have extensive experience in fintech, health tech, and e-commerce, having held executive roles at companies like Etsy, Shutterstock, and Candid. That said, my technical leadership principles and product development methodologies apply across sectors, allowing me to provide value to companies in various industries.
I offer flexible engagement options including part-time ongoing support (e.g., 1-2 days per week), project-based engagements with specific deliverables, and advisory services. I'll work with you to determine the best structure based on your needs and budget, with all terms clearly outlined in our service agreement.
Absolutely! Having founded a startup myself and led technology at various growth stages, I understand the unique challenges of early-stage companies. For startups, I focus on establishing solid organizationl & technical foundations, helping guide strategic technology choices, and building scalable processes that will support future growth while being mindful of resource constraints.
I work with clients globally, providing both remote and on-site services as needed. Based in the NY Metro region, I can easily arrange in-person sessions for clients in the Northeast corridor. My experience leading distributed teams across multiple locations has made me effective at delivering value regardless of geography.
