Sound familiar?

The target is set. The engine isn’t built yet.

Most Series A–B teams don’t have a spend problem. They have a measurement and mix problem.

✓Fresh capital and a growth target to hit before the next raise
✓Over-reliant on paid, with CAC creeping up
✓No single view of payback by channel and cohort
✓A capable but junior team that needs senior leadership and a plan
✓You need a senior growth leader before you’re ready to hire one full time

What I do

A senior growth leader on your team.

I join your leadership team as a fractional Chief Growth Officer and own the growth plan end to end.

01

Growth model and forecast

A plan the board can trust: targets broken down by channel, with CAC, payback and LTV assumptions you can defend.

02

Less dependence on paid

Shift the mix toward organic, referral, partnerships and lifecycle, so growth doesn’t stall when CAC rises.

03

Measurement that holds up

Channel and cohort-level reporting, so spend moves toward lifetime value and every channel has a clear payback.

04

Team building and coaching

Coach the team you have, hire the right next roles, and set up agencies with clear goals.

How an engagement works

From plan to repeatable engine.

01

Diagnose

A channel and cohort-level view of where growth comes from today, and what each dollar of spend returns.

02

Rebuild the mix

Cut what doesn’t pay back, invest in channels that compound, and set targets the team owns.

03

Make it repeatable

Reporting, cadence and team structure that keep working after the engagement ends.

Questions

Good to know.

What does a fractional CGO do at a Series A–B company?

I act as your Chief Growth Officer, part time. I own the growth plan, channel mix, forecasting and team coaching, and report to the founders and board, before you’re ready to hire a full-time executive.

Is this the same as hiring an agency?

No. Agencies run campaigns. I set the strategy, own the targets and lead the team and agencies that execute. If you need campaigns run day to day, an agency is a better fit.

Which companies are the best fit?

Series A–B tech companies, including marketplaces, with fresh capital, a growth target before the next raise, and too much reliance on paid acquisition.

What does it cost and how long does it run?

Engagements start at $10K a month and usually start with 3–6 months.

Do you work with US companies?

Yes. I work with teams across the US and Canada.
