Fractional Executive Search.

The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.

Senior leadership for Stockholm's technology scale-ups, investor-backed companies and family-owned groups: an executive found by search, then embedded in the business under a services agreement between two companies. Employing an executive here is a serious commitment, and we run executive search fractionally: the same seniority, bought by the share of time.

Governance as a service

We do not make an introduction and step away

One executive in the seat, with the collective's wider experience behind them. Support, structure and governance stay around the engagement so that it keeps working in Stockholm. The executive owns the decisions in their field and the results that follow. Advice stops short of that.

An operator, not an adviserYour leader is part of the team, executes and is held to business outcomes. Where decisions are made by consultation, the job is to bring people along, then act.
The collective at your backThe engagement is backed by our collective of 800+, vetted before introduction and spanning finance, operations, technology and people. For companies with international investors and a home market that is small, that reach is hard to hire and easy to borrow.

Where we are brought in

A leader for the moment in front of you

Most engagements begin with a moment: a departure to cover, a raise to close, a market to enter, a business to turn around. Find the one that fits.

The Stockholm commercial case

Senior leadership, without the permanent cost

Each engagement is a contract between two companies: board-level capability for the days the work needs, without a costly permanent executive on a payroll that is already expensive to carry. Our standard is one month's notice.

Brief a search
01

No permanent headcount

The engagement is a company-to-company contract. No salary on the payroll and no headcount to carry.

02

No benefits burden

No medical cover, no benefits administration, none of the overhead a permanent hire brings.

03

No recruitment cost

No search fees and no onboarding lag. Your leader is matched from a vetted collective and embeds within weeks.

04

One month's notice

Scale the engagement up or down, or step away, on one month. You keep the optionality.

05

Business to business

A company-to-company arrangement, invoiced cleanly. Senior leadership without the employment.

How an engagement works

From the moment to the match, in weeks

Say where you need leadership and we deal with the rest. The opening conversation settles most of it. We keep the process short and the questions direct.

01

Tell us the moment

Share where you need leadership: a finance lead departing, a raise ahead, operations outgrowing the founder.

02

A working conversation

We talk through the brief and sharpen the requirement together, so the match is right.

03

The match

We search our collective of 800+ curated and vetted executives for the closest fit, and you choose.

04

Deployment

Your leader embeds within weeks, holds the decisions in their domain, and gets to work.

Common questions

The questions founders ask first

A senior C-suite leader who embeds directly into your business on a part-time or retained basis. They do not just advise. They hold the decisions in their domain and stay accountable to the outcomes, without the cost of a full-time hire.

Engagements are business to business and typically run six to twenty-four months. Start with one leader or a micro-team, and scale either way on one month's notice as your priorities shift.

A consultant advises and steps away. A fractional executive embeds and executes. We provide the support, structure and governance that keep the engagement working; the executive owns the outcomes.

Our engagements typically run 30 to 60% less than a comparable full-time executive appointment. You pay for the seniority and the time you need, not idle headcount, and there are no recruitment fees, benefits or severance costs.

Get started

The home of fractional leadership.

Start with the stretch ahead: the round to raise, the international move, the seniority you need without a permanent appointment. Expect a vetted executive from our collective of 800+ in your team within weeks, on a services agreement that adds no permanent headcount, with our standard one month's notice.
