1. What exactly is a Fractional Chief of Staff?
A Fractional Chief of Staff is a part-time, flexible executive who helps founders and leadership teams build scalable systems, prioritize initiatives, and align teams — without the cost of a full-time hire.
2. How does a Fractional Chief of Staff differ from a traditional EA?
Unlike traditional Executive Assistants who focus mainly on calendar and admin tasks, as Fractional Chiefs of Staff we drive strategy, ops improvements, and team alignment. We’re deeply embedded in your business focused on execution and partnership, not just managing your schedule.
3. How does fractional engagement work?
You contract with us for a set number of hours or projects per month. This flexible model means you get expert-level support tailored to your current needs without the overhead of a full-time hire.
4. Why not just hire full-time?
Hiring full-time ops leadership or executive support can be costly and slow. Our fractional model gives you on-demand expertise, agility, and flexibility—perfect for startups in fast-moving environments
5. Can you handle retreats globally for our team?
Absolutely! We are both avid travelers with experience hosting events all around the world. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with your team anywhere globally.
6. What type of startups do you work with?
While we are industry agnostic, we primarily partner with early-stage to growth-stage startups, especially those who’ve recently raised funding and are gearing up to scale quickly. Whether you’re bootstrapped or VC-backed, we tailor our services to your stage and challenges.
7. How quickly can you start?
We usually kick off with a discovery call to understand your pain points, then align on priorities. Most engagements can start within 1-2 weeks, depending on your readiness and scope.
8. How do you measure success?
We focus on outcomes that matter: faster decision-making, smoother workflows, clear priorities, and ultimately, growth without chaos. Regular check-ins and transparent metrics keep us accountable to your goals.
