If you've ever hesitated to hire a senior executive because the cost didn’t quite match your current stage — you’re not alone.
Bringing on a full-time CMO or Chief Growth Officer too early can lock you into overhead before you're ready. But waiting too long? That costs you clarity, alignment, and momentum.
That’s exactly where fractional leadership changes the game.
When you work with me, you don’t get a part-time opinion.
You get full-time thinking — applied with focus and precision.
High-impact leadership, lean setup
I work with teams that need to make decisions faster, build stronger pipelines, or get marketing working again. Not next quarter — this quarter.
With me, you gain:
- A strategic partner who’s already led high-growth teams
- A hands-on operator who actually executes and doesn't just advise
- A support system of top-tier specialists available as needed
All without the commitment or cost of a full-time exec hire.
A model that scales with you
Every client I work with engages me on a fixed retainer plus success-based commission. That means we’re in it together. I’m not here to rack up hours — I’m here to build your revenue engine.
Need me one day per week? Done.
Need four days? We’ll structure that.
And if we need more firepower — designers, CRM builders, content creators — I coordinate those resources for you with a +15% markup on their standard rates. It’s a simple, transparent system that gives you flexibility without friction.
Real strategy. No politics.
Startups and scale-ups often suffer from leadership voids. Decisions float. Teams lose focus. Strategy gets talked about but never lands.
I fill that gap without adding internal drama. I’m not here to replace anyone. I’m here to get the work moving again, unblock your people, and set a pace that sticks — even after I’m gone.
You don’t need another meeting.
You need someone who can see through the noise and start steering.
About Me
I'm a fractional executive specializing in marketing leadership, restructuring, and team enablement. I typically work with fast-growing companies and founders who need clarity and execution — not more complexity.
My clients value hands-on involvement, clear reporting structures, and an ability to build momentum with or without full-time hires. I’m based in Switzerland but work with teams worldwide, both remotely and on site.
Engagement model:
- Fixed monthly retainer
- Sales-based success fee
- 15% resource coordination markup for additional talent
- Availability: 1–4 days/week
- Work days: Sunday through Friday
