Is a Fractional/Interim CEO, COO and Executive Director right for your organization?

A fractional CEO engagement is not a consulting retainer. Ron joins your leadership team, attends board meetings, drives strategy, and is accountable for outcomes, on a part-time basis that fits your organization's size and stage.

Founders Stepping Back

You built something real, and now the organization needs experienced leadership to hold it together while you transition out of the operating role. You need someone who can own the room without owning the equity.

Post-Merger Organizations

Two companies just became one. The operational alignment, governance structure, and cultural integration work is real, and it requires executive attention you may not have on staff. Ron has done this before, at scale, in one fiscal year.

Nonprofits in Transition

Between Executive Directors, navigating a governance crisis, or managing a leadership vacuum after a sudden departure. Ron has deep nonprofit experience and understands the unique pressures of mission-driven organizations.

Growing Companies Not Ready to Hire Full-Time

You need C-suite thinking, board presence, and operational discipline at the executive level, but you are not yet at a stage where a full-time hire makes financial sense. A fractional engagement gives you the leadership without the fixed cost.

30 years of executive depth. Available to your organization now.

Every fractional engagement is built around your specific situation. No playbook. No packaged program. Real executive leadership applied to your actual challenges.
