How is a fractional CEO different from a business consultant?

A consultant delivers recommendations and leaves. A fractional CEO takes ownership of outcomes — they lead, make decisions, and are accountable for results alongside your team. They're embedded in the business, not advising from the outside.

How many hours per month does a fractional CEO typically work?

Engagements typically range from 8 to 20 hours per month, depending on the complexity of the business and the scope of the engagement. During critical periods — a transaction, a turnaround, or a major strategic initiative — the commitment can scale up significantly.

Can a fractional CEO work alongside an existing leadership team?

Absolutely. In most engagements, the fractional CEO works directly with and through your existing managers and directors. The goal is to elevate your team, not replace it.

What industries does My Exec LLC serve?

We have deep experience in law firms, landscape and green industry, restoration, environmental and waste services, travel and tourism, and accounting and financial services — as well as general business strategy across other sectors.

How long does a typical fractional CEO engagement last?

Most engagements run 6 to 18 months. Some clients retain a fractional CEO on an ongoing basis for strategic continuity. We structure each engagement around your specific goals and timeline.

What Is a Fractional CEO?

A fractional CEO is an experienced chief executive who works with your business on a part-time or project basis — providing the same strategic leadership, organizational vision, and executive accountability as a full-time CEO, but at a fraction of the cost and commitment.

Unlike a general manager or director, a fractional CEO operates at the highest level of the organization: setting direction, aligning leadership teams, managing key stakeholder relationships, and making the decisions that determine where the company is headed and how it gets there.

For growing businesses that need experienced executive leadership but aren't ready for — or can't justify — a full-time CEO salary, a fractional arrangement delivers the same impact on a flexible, scalable basis.

Signs Your Business Needs a Fractional CEO

Most growing businesses reach a point where the founder or owner can no longer wear every hat. A fractional CEO steps in to provide the leadership clarity your team needs.

No Clear Strategic Direction

Your team is working hard but pulling in different directions. A fractional CEO sets a unified vision and holds everyone accountable to it.

Founder Burnout

You're spending all your time in the business instead of on it. A fractional CEO takes the leadership burden so you can focus on what you do best.

Stalled Growth

Revenue has plateaued and you're not sure why. A fractional CEO diagnoses the bottlenecks and builds a plan to break through them.

Leadership Team Misalignment

Your managers aren't working as a cohesive unit. A fractional CEO builds team alignment and a culture of accountability.

Preparing for a Transaction

You're considering a sale, merger, or capital raise. A fractional CEO prepares the business and leads the process.

Scaling Without Infrastructure

Growth is outpacing your systems and people. A fractional CEO builds the organizational infrastructure to support sustainable scale.
