we do GREAT THINGS with GREAT PEOPLE

Not every company has the same needs, and we will craft a custom plan with you, for your business. Our offerings typically fall into a few categories.

(More Than) FRACTIONAL

We will step in as your fractional CMO, CFO or COO and help you strategize and operationalize your business in these areas. But we do more. Every step of the way, we will be thinking about how to hand the roles back to you, putting in place the systems and people that will help you in the long run.

(The Best) TEAM SOURCING

Having worked with so many talented teams, we are lucky to have worked with some of the best people around. If your team needs freelance or project support, we can pull together an efficient, expert, passionate crew that’s always at the top of their game.

(Startup Savvy) PLANNING & STRATEGY

Strategy and planning go hand in hand. Having both been on founding teams of successful startups, while also leading and operating teams, we are uniquely positioned to help guide your startup through setting your vision and accompanying it with roadmaps and step by step breakdowns.

(Getting It Done) PROJECT BASIS +

Sometimes you just need an extra hand getting a project done. We can step in on complex projects and manage them from end to end, relying on our areas of expertise and our extensive, vetted network to do so.

WHICH ARE you?

Companies have a unique set of challenges depending on the revenue segment where they are hovering.  We recognize that and modify our approach to align with where you are—and where you are going.

peek THE POD

  • Is your company working towards its next significant revenue hurdle? Or, maybe even stuck on a plateau?… If so, THE POD is a perfect fit!

    We recognize that companies have a unique set of challenges depending on the revenue segment where they are hovering. We modify our approach to align with where you are and where you are going.

    Revenue segments we work with:

    • Less than $5MM

    • $5MM-$10MM

    • $10MM-$20MM

    • $20MM-$50MM

    We have an affinity towards anything consumer centric. If your company sells a product or a service Direct To Consumer, via Marketplace or is seeking to add one of these channels to your strategy, we are excited to partner with you.

    Together we can get there. Now, let’s go do great things with great people!

  • We have real collective experience as operators, leaders, founders and entrepreneurs. We have experienced what you are experiencing, likely. And if we haven’t, we have access to a network who has.

    Our focus spans the gamut.

    As the only person in the team at its earliest stage, we work with you to build out your Year One Strategy.

    As the CXO, we advise you on how to shape your team, your culture, and your strategic priorities. We listen and we troubleshoot, and we help you re-set and move forward.

    We thrive in the Marketing, Operations, Finance, Accounting and People Ops verticals. We love the strategic as much as we enjoy the tactical. We thrive in coaching and mentoring just as much as we love executing.

    A long way of saying our approach is not cookie cutter. Hence we really are More Than Fractional.

  • Our process is grounded in understanding the challenges and opportunities you're setting out to tackle. It all starts with questions.

    We start by asking where your business is at the current moment. Have financial results become more difficult to achieve? Are meetings feeling inconclusive and unproductive? Is execution becoming more challenging?…

    Whatever the answer, our commitment is to draw on our past wins, mistakes, and experiences to make sure we are collectively landing on sound decisions and processes.

    We consider your startup stage to ground us, couple that with your goals, and then run a diagnostic that encompasses:

    • People

    • Data

    • Processes

    • Strategy

    Using the insights from the diagnostic assessment, we’ll co-create a plan that is part strategy and part “how-to” guide.

    That’s where the fun really gets going...

  • SAMANTHA BOLOSAN — POMteam, founder & managing partner

    After I fell into starting my own firm, I started to observe gaps that were inhibiting us from scaling at my desired rate. I hired Christina to help me strategize the second chapter of POM. After we started working with her, the company immediately began to form into my vision. She partnered, listened, stuck around for the many tumultuous turns… She is my go-to for strategic business advice. Not only because she is incredibly smart, experienced and talented. But because she is honest and will give me the right advice—not just what I want to hear. 

  • ELYSE HIGHSMITH — koala, director of retention; ruggable, director of retention

    Tal has been instrumental in my growth as both a leader and people manager. She continues to be a mentor to me and someone I look to for career and leadership advice.

  • MONICA SARACINO — coo, janessa leone

    Christina is one of the most valuable advisors Janessa Leone has ever come across. She has the unique ability to provide thought leadership across ALL parts of the business. We worked with Christina to reestablish the financial, operational and team strategy over the last 18 months and that work has already led to significant profitability improvements and has put the business on a path to drive continued meaningful growth.
