Fractional Executive Search.
The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.
Executives of real seniority for New York founder-led firms, funded scale-ups and fund-backed businesses, chosen through a search, embedded under a services agreement and present for the days the job needs.
Governance as a service
We do not make an introduction and step away
One hire brings the whole collective with them. We stay with the engagement for its whole length, providing the support, structure and governance around it. A fractional executive decides within their own domain and answers for what follows, which is the difference from being an adviser.
An operator, not an adviserYour leader sits in the team, decides and is judged on the outcome. Where a fund is on the cap table, they are also the person who can say to the board what the founder cannot.
The collective behind your hireEvery New York engagement has our collective of 800+ behind it, with executives across finance, operations, technology and people to call on. That depth counts in a city where the best operators are already spoken for.
The roles we match
A full C-suite, on the terms a growing business needs
We focus on the leadership functions that move a company forward. Start with one, or draw on the whole collective.
Proven leadership
Our executives have led at the companies you know
Where we are brought in
A leader for the moment in front of you
Most engagements begin with a moment: a departure to cover, a raise to close, a market to enter, a business to turn around. Find the one that fits.

The New York commercial case
Senior leadership, without the permanent cost
You contract with us as one company with another. You get board-level capability for the share of the week the work needs, without the offer letter, equity grant and severance terms a full-time executive often arrives with in New York. The services agreement runs between two companies and ends on one month's notice, our standard.
Brief a search01
