Fractional CxOs

Proven executives, embedded for as Long as you need them.

Fractional CxOs puts proven procurement, supply chain, operations and finance executives on your leadership team, part-time or full-time, for as long as you need them. They don't advise from the sidelines. They take the seat, own the results, and build the team that carries on after they leave.


Companies bring in a Fractional CxO when a leadership gap can't wait for a search.


  • A leader just left: an interim executive keeps the savings plan, the renewals and the team moving while you search.
  • A transformation has no owner: one accountable executive drives it, instead of a steering committee.
  • An acquisition just closed: an experienced integration leader brings two supply chains and two procurement teams together.
  • You've outgrown founder-run purchasing: senior leadership on a part-time basis, before a full-time hire makes sense.

How a fractional CxO engagement works

We name the leader up front and hold them to outcomes you agree on.

Scope & Seat

Define the role, the outcomes that matter, and how much time the job really needs.

Meet Your Executive

You meet the person who'll do the work before anything is signed. A named leader, not a bench.

Embed & Deliver

A 30-day plan, then hands-on leadership reported against the outcomes we agreed.

Build Your Bench & Hand Off

Develop your team and hand over to your permanent leader, so the gains stick.

Questions about fractional CxOs? We've got you.

  • Which roles can you fill?

    Chief Procurement Officer and VP Procurement, supply chain, contracting and commercial, operations, finance, and customer experience leadership.

  • What's the difference between interim and fractional?

     Interim is full coverage during a transition or search. Fractional is part-time and ongoing, for companies that need senior judgment without a full-time executive.

  • What's the difference between a Fractional CPO and a CPO-in-Residence?

    A Fractional CPO runs your procurement function and owns the numbers. A CPO-in-Residence advises your sales and pursuit teams if you sell to procurement, on how your proposals, pricing and contracts read to the buyer.

  • How quickly can someone start?

    Usually within a few weeks of scoping, and sooner when the situation is urgent.
