FRACTIONAL CMO SERVICES

Strategic marketing leadership without the full-time overhead

I partner with founders and executive teams as a hands-on Fractional CMO—building the strategy, playbooks, and campaigns your team needs to consistently generate qualified pipeline, close more revenue, and prove marketing ROI.

If you’ve outgrown “random acts of marketing” but don’t yet need (or can’t justify) a full-time CMO, a fractional engagement gives you senior-level experience with flexible commitment. I help you clarify your positioning, align sales and marketing, design campaigns that actually convert, and install the reporting needed so every dollar spent has a purpose.

Marketing that actually moves revenue, not just vanity metrics

Too many teams chase clicks, impressions, and MQL volume—but the board only cares about revenue. I work alongside your leadership team to design a marketing strategy that ladders directly up to pipeline and closed-won deals. From positioning your brand to aligning campaigns with sales motions, we focus on the initiatives that move the needle, not just the dashboard.

A CMO engagement tailored to your stage and team

Every company sits at a different point in their growth journey. I don’t bring a rigid playbook—I bring a proven framework we adapt together. Whether you need help clarifying your ICP, tightening your messaging, fixing lead routing, or building a campaign calendar from scratch, we’ll right-size the engagement around your goals, budget, and in-house talent.

Fractional leadership that scales up or down as you grow

Your needs will change quarter to quarter. We can start with a focused 90-day engagement, then dial time and scope up or down based on results. I can step in heavily at the start to architect strategy and systems, then transition to a lighter advisory cadence as your internal team gains confidence and capacity.

Someone in the room who thinks across marketing, sales, and operations

Marketing doesn’t live in a silo. With 20+ years leading sales and marketing, I connect the dots between GTM strategy, sales process, customer success, and operations. The result is a cohesive growth engine: consistent messaging, aligned handoffs, and clean reporting that gives your executive team a clear view of what’s working—and what isn’t.

FAQ

Need clarification?

What is a Fractional CMO?

A Fractional CMO is a senior marketing leader who works with your company on a part-time or project basis. You get executive-level strategy, leadership, and accountability without the cost and long-term commitment of a full-time C-suite hire.

When does it make sense to bring you in?

I’m the right fit when you’ve outgrown ad-hoc marketing, need a clear GTM strategy, or want stronger alignment between sales and marketing—but you’re not ready to hire a full-time CMO. Many of my clients are scaling B2B organizations that need structure, focus, and someone who can “speak executive.”

How do your engagements typically work?

Most clients start with a 60–90 day engagement focused on assessment, strategy, and quick wins. From there, we decide together whether to continue in a steady ongoing cadence (for example, 1–2 days per week) or shift to a lighter advisory model.

Will you work with our existing team and agencies?

Yes. I integrate with your current marketers, sales leaders, and external partners. My role is to provide direction, clarity, and alignment—not to replace people who are already delivering value.

What industries do you specialize in?

I’ve spent the bulk of my career in B2B, technology, and complex sales environments, partnering closely with sales to drive measurable outcomes. If your business relies on consultative selling and long-term relationships, my experience will translate well.

How do we get started?

We begin with a short discovery call to understand your goals, current challenges, and timelines. From there, I’ll propose a right-sized engagement with clear deliverables and a 60–90 day roadmap so you know exactly what to expect.
