Hiring senior leaders is broken. So we curated something different.

Part-time leaders. Full-time doers.

C-suite operators, hired part-time, to fill a specific functional gap. Without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.

The problem

You already know how this goes.

You brief an exec search firm. Six weeks before you interview a first candidate. The fee is 25–30% of base salary. For a senior hire, that's €40k+ before they've started.

Then the role changes, and you're back where you started.

Before Revenue Flow™, myself and the Sales team worked in parallel, not together. Working with Christophe changed everything. Within 4 weeks, we were executing with one vision, one pipeline, and one rhythm.

Questions

The things founders ask us first.

What is a fractional C-suite leader?

A fractional C-suite leader is a senior executive who works part-time for a startup, filling a specific functional gap without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. At Squadra, fractional leaders are C-suite operators who still do the work, not consultants or advisors.

How quickly can a Squadra fractional leader start?

Most Squadra mandates are live within two weeks of first contact. Discovery calls happen within a week; you meet 2–4 vetted candidates in free calls before committing. No six-month searches.

How is fractional leadership different from consulting or interim?

Squadra fractional leaders are operators, not advisors. They don't hand you a deck and leave. They roll up their sleeves and do the work alongside your team. Unlike a full-time hire or interim, they work part-time with flexible scope that evolves with the company.

What functions does Squadra Fractional cover?

Our core expertise is the revenue engine: Sales (CRO, VP Sales, GTM), Product (CPO, VP Product), Growth marketing (CMO, Head of Growth) and Customer success (CXO, VP Customer Success). The collective also covers Finance (CFO), People (Chief People Officer, Head of Talent), Communications and Security (CISO).

What stage companies does Squadra work with?

Many of our clients are B2B SaaS startups that have passed 1M ARR and need the right senior people to get to 5x, without bearing the cost of full-time hires. More broadly, we work with startups from seed to Series B.

What is the minimum commitment for a fractional mandate?

Squadra mandates are flexible by design. The typical structure is a 3-month minimum with 30 days' notice, built to evolve with the company. Different role next quarter, different scope, different person: all possible.
