Senior leadership, without the permanent cost

An engagement is company to company. You engage the executive's entity, not the individual. That means no permanent headcount, no salary on the payroll, no benefits administration, no recruitment cost, and no long notice period. You get board-level capability for the share of time the work actually needs, at 30 to 60% less than a full-time hire, with one month's notice to scale the engagement up, down or out as circumstances change. For a business growing its footprint across South-East Asia, that kind of optionality is not just a cost consideration. It is a structural advantage.

Common questions

The questions founders ask first

A fractional executive is a senior C-suite leader who embeds directly into your business on a part-time or retained basis. The engagement is structured as a company-to-company contract, so you are not taking on an employee. Your leader holds the decisions in their domain, executes, and is accountable to business outcomes. In Singapore, this is a well-established arrangement for SMEs and regional headquarters seeking board-level capability without the overhead of a permanent hire.

Engagements typically cost 30 to 60% less than a full-time executive at the same seniority level. There are no recruitment fees, no benefits, no CPF employer contribution on a permanent contract, and no end-of-service liability. You pay for the seniority and the time you need, invoiced cleanly between entities, and you keep one month's notice to adjust the arrangement as your priorities shift.

The model suits any Singapore business that needs genuine C-suite capability but cannot yet justify a full-time hire. In practice, that means fintech and professional services firms building out regional operations, trading businesses expanding across ASEAN, SMEs preparing for a fundraising round, and regional headquarters that need functional leadership without duplicating a head-office function. The common thread is a business at a pivotal moment, where the cost of the wrong decision outweighs the cost of the right leader.

A consultant produces analysis and recommendations and steps away. An interim is typically a full-time, short-term placement. A fractional executive embeds for the share of time the role needs, usually two to four days a week, holds decision-making authority in their domain, and is measured on outcomes, not deliverables. They work inside your business alongside your team, not at arm's length from it.

Most engagements run between six and twenty-four months, though the structure is flexible. Some businesses start with a defined project phase, such as a fundraise or a market entry, and continue once the immediate moment has passed. Others run ongoing retained arrangements. You can scale the time commitment up or down, or bring the engagement to a close, on one month's notice.
