More than consultants

An executive search partner for SMEs, wherever they grow

Flexible C-suite talent, curated and embedded directly into your business, driving real results without the commitment of a full-time hire.

A fractional executiveA flexible, scalable C-suite or director-level leader who embeds directly into your business. They advise, execute, and stay accountable to outcomes.

Governance as a serviceWe do not just make an introduction and step away. We provide the support, structure and governance that keep the engagement working.

Why the model works

Senior leadership on the terms a growing business needs

A fractional executive embeds and executes, then provides the governance that keeps the engagement working. The commercial structure does the rest.

An operator, not an adviser

The executive embeds in your leadership team, holds the decisions in their domain, and is measured on business outcomes, not deliverables.

A collective behind every placement

Hire one leader and the perspective of the whole collective comes with them, across retail, fintech, healthcare and more.

Scaled to the engagement

Engagements are business to business: no visa, no end-of-service liability, one month notice. Scale up or down as priorities shift.

Our collective

Backed by a collective of 350+ curated executives

Curated and vetted across every function, many with Fortune 500 experience. Hire one leader and a bench of senior perspective stands behind the placement.

Ways to engage

One leader, a micro-team, or the full collective

Start where the need is sharpest and expand as the work evolves. Continuity holds throughout, because the same collective stands behind every engagement.

One leader

A single executive, matched to the moment

A Chief Financial Officer for a funding round. A Chief Marketing Officer to reposition the brand. Targeted to the problem in front of you.

Micro-team

A small pairing, deployed together

A Chief Operating Officer and a Chief Technology Officer, aligning operations and technology through a scale-up.

The collective

The full bench, in sync across functions

For a transformation, a turnaround, or large-scale growth, the collective operates across departments at once.

Common questions

The questions founders ask first

A flexible, scalable C-suite or director-level leader who embeds directly into your business without the commitment of a full-time hire. They advise, execute, and stay accountable to outcomes.

Engagements are business to business and typically run six to twenty-four months. Start with one leader or a micro-team, and scale either way with one month notice.

A consultant advises and steps away. A fractional executive embeds, executes, and owns the outcome. We provide the governance that keeps the engagement working.

We are live across the Middle East and Asia Pacific, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, Ho Chi Minh City and Bali, with more hubs in development across Europe, the Americas, Oceania and Africa.

Typically 30 to 60% less than a full-time hire. Cost scales with the intensity of the engagement, so you pay for the seniority you need, not idle time.
