Summary

A strategic partner in your corner.
The Fractional CSO model gives founders and startups direct access to senior-level brand and business strategy guidance, creative direction, and UX oversight without the cost of a full-time executive. You’ll have a trusted advisor for brand strategy, positioning, messaging, UX decisions, and creative guidance - helping you stay aligned, make smarter decisions, and move with clarity, faster.

FAQs

  • How does the engagement work?

    You’ll have consistent access to me via your preferred communication channel for advisory, direction, and strategy support. We’ll hold one structured strategy sync each month, with ongoing async access between sessions.

  • What does “Fractional CSO” mean?

    It means you get the strategic expertise and oversight of a Chief Strategy Officer, but on a flexible, fractional basis tailored to your business stage and budget.

  • Is this focused on design or strategy?

    The focus is strategic: clarity, alignment, and decision-making. I provide creative and UX input as part of that process, but this is not a design or production engagement.

  • Is there a minimum commitment?

    A 3-month minimum is recommended to establish momentum and deliver measurable clarity and alignment.
