Fractional means ongoing, part-time leadership. I sit on your team without the headcount or ramp-up time. Interim fills a specific leadership gap while you search for a permanent hire, with a clean handoff when they're onboarded. Project-based is a defined problem with a defined end, like an integration or a large transformation. Most people already know which one they need; if you're not sure, that's a good first conversation.

Faster than a full-time hire, since there's no search or onboarding ramp. A first conversation to understand what you need usually leads to a clear start date within days, not months.

My six focus areas — M&A integration, enterprise PMO, digital transformation, executive alignment, agile leadership, and vendor/financial governance — are relevant at any company size. What matters more than headcount is whether there's a real gap between strategy and execution that needs leadership to close.

Yes. I'm based in the Chicago area and work in-person locally when it's useful, but most of my work is remote and I partner with organizations nationwide.

Thirty minutes, no pitch. I ask what's actually going on, you tell me what you're trying to solve, and we figure out together whether fractional, interim, or project-based work fits or you need something else entirely.
