Fractional and full-time executives
C-suite and senior executives from South Africa and the Philippines, vetted by a CEO who has hired them before.
Fractional or full-time CFOs, COOs, CTOs, heads of sales and heads of customer for companies that need executive capability without a US executive package — selected and onboarded by our leadership team.
Fast start: live within 7 days, onboarding included. Written quote within 24 hours of a scoping call.
Why now
What changed
Senior talent is global and remote-ready. The constraint is judgment in selection — which is why a former listed-company CEO runs the process.

FAQ
C-Suite & Executive Talent: common questions
What does a c-suite & executive talent engagement include?
A dedicated team built around your outcome, a working team lead inside the pod, AI tooling for research, drafting and QA, weekly KPI reporting and a monthly review chaired by AJ Smith. Recruiting, onboarding, devices and backup power are included.
How quickly can the team start?
Scoping call this week, written quote within 24 hours, first seats live within 7 days from our pre-screened bench in Cape Town and Manila.
What hours will the team work?
Yours. Cape Town covers US Eastern and Central, the UK, Europe and the Gulf; Manila covers US Pacific, after-hours and the Australian and New Zealand day. Many pods blend both.
What is the commitment?
A 60-day pilot, monthly in advance, no lock-in during the pilot; then a rolling term with 30 days' notice. Any seat below target after ramp is replaced at no cost.
Do you publish prices?
No — every pod is scoped to your role mix, hours and seat count and quoted in writing after a 20-minute scoping call.
