Fractional Partnership

What We Will Do

Fractional Strategic Partnerships provide ongoing, embedded support for leaders navigating complexity, growth, or change—without adding a full-time hire.

This is not advisory work from the sidelines. It is hands-on, senior-level partnership that blends strategy, execution, and judgment over time.

Engagements are structured as monthly retainers, scoped to the level of support required.

  • As a fractional partner, I operate as an extension of your leadership team to:

    • Translate vision into priorities, plans, and execution rhythms

    • Create focus, accountability, and decision clarity

    • Increase organizational capacity during periods of change

    • Serve as a trusted thought partner and steady operator

    The work adapts as needs evolve.

  • Clients in fractional engagements typically experience:

    • Sustained progress on strategic priorities

    • Stronger alignment across leaders and teams

    • Fewer dropped balls and less reactive firefighting

    • A calm, experienced presence supporting complex work

    This model is especially effective when priorities are interdependent and the path forward is not linear.

  • Fractional partnerships work well for:

    • Founders scaling beyond their original operating model

    • Nonprofit leaders managing growth, transition, or increased complexity

    • Organizations that need senior-level capacity without a permanent role

    If the work is ongoing, multifaceted, and high-stakes, this is often the right model.

  • Many fractional partnerships begin after:

    • A Strategic Clarity Diagnostic, or

    • A defined project that surfaces the need for ongoing support

    • As a phone-a-friend call to add more capacity and capabilities but aren’t ready to hire full-time staff.

    Engagements are intentionally scoped and revisited over time to ensure continued fit.
