Valenta: The Insider Series

Valenta The Insider | Fractional Executives: What are they & how can they drive company success?

Ted Stone, Managing Partner at TechCXO, will help lift the curtain on what fractional executives do, how they work with business owners, and when the right time to consider one is. 

Operating a business competitively requires having the right people in the right positions at all times. However, finding the right people to blend within the culture in today's market is exceedingly difficult.

For years, many organizations used and still use part-time labor in sales, marketing, and administration. However, senior leaders can be found part-time too.

Until relatively recently, the terms ‘part-time,’ ‘outsourcing,’ and ‘fractional’ were almost unheard of when applied to executive roles. However, an impressive cross-section of companies — from bootstrapped startups to Fortune 500 businesses — are pivoting to part-time leaders. The arrangement is often optimal for both parties. Startups that don’t have the resources can work with an experienced professional without all of the costs associated with a full time executive.

The business can fill the talent gap in the organization by having an experienced C-Level executive on the team. Whether it’s a CIO to help drive technology or a CFO to manage the finances, the business can employ a highly skilled individual to help push the business to the next level.
