Twelve years: the average experience across a network of handpicked executives ready to make an impact on day one.
“It was literally three days after he started with us fractionally, our CEO was calling me and asking if we could get a full-time offer out.”
“It's a can't-lose scenario. You either get the learnings from the subject matter expert, or you get the full-time capability. It provided a ton of flexibility, much faster speed to market, and conservation of time and resources.”
“Having someone senior from day one as a founder means you're actually hiring yourself out of a job, not transferring that amount of work to essentially management of someone junior, which can only be as often just as much work or only slightly less work.”
