FRACTIONAL PARTNERSHIP

You need someone invested in the outcome.

Most founders don't have a strategy problem. They have a bandwidth problem. No one to drive the work forward, connect the dots across decisions, or stay in it with them past the recommendation. That's what this is.

WHAT THIS ACTUALLY IS

Fractional partnership means I work inside your business on an ongoing basis. Not on a project, not on a timeline, not checking boxes and moving on. We're building something together, and I'm invested in it the way you are.

You bring me into the decisions that matter. I help you think through them, build the systems around them, and make sure the work actually gets done. The part most consultants skip.

What you get is a senior-level strategic operator in your corner every week, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

A partner, not a vendor.

Showing up weekly to help prioritize, make decisions, and keep execution moving.
Being the strategic layer between you and your team so you stop being the bottleneck.
Taking a launch from plan to execution without you managing every piece.
Building the systems, then teaching your team to run them.
Being on call when the unexpected happens and you need someone who knows your business.

WHAT THIS CAN LOOK LIKE

This is for the founder who's done winging it alone.

The Overwhelmed Operator
You're running the business. The business is running you.
Revenue is coming in but nothing is systematized. Every week feels reactive. You're making decisions without enough information and executing without enough bandwidth. You don't need another framework. You need someone in it with you.
The Builder
You know exactly where you're going. You need someone to help you build the road.
Your vision is clear. Your offers are solid. But the gap between where you are and where you're going is filled with execution problems, not strategy problems. You need a partner who can plan and do.

WHO IT’S FOR

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

Three ways to structure the engagement

Every partnership is scoped to the business. These tiers reflect the most common ways founders work with me over time.

Light Touch
Strategic support without full integration
Two touchpoints per month. Strategy, prioritization, and accountability. Good for founders who have execution covered but need a strategic sounding board.
2 sessions per month
Async check-ins between sessions
Strategic advisory only
Most Common
Core Partnership
Embedded strategic and execution partner
Four touchpoints per month plus async availability. Strategy, execution oversight, team coordination, and hands-on build when needed.
4 sessions per month
Async support between sessions
Strategy and execution
Team and project coordination
Premium Execution
Full-scope fractional partnership
For founders scaling fast who need a strategic partner embedded across the full business. Priority access, deep execution, and ownership of key outcomes.
Weekly sessions
Priority async access
Full strategy and execution ownership
Cross-functional oversight

Scope and investment are discussed on a discovery call. Minimum engagement is three months.
