A permanent hire costs you 9 months. A bad one costs 18.
Fractional executives plug into your business in days, not quarters. You get a senior operator with full P&L history, fewer politics, and an exit plan from day one. The model scales from a single critical project to multi-quarter interim leadership.
I have led marketing, country and full P&L roles at companies from €1.5M to €500M revenue. I know what good looks like and I do not waste your runway learning it.
If you need a chief executive officer in Milan, Rome or Italy, a fractional engagement gives you a tested leader in days, not quarters.
Day to day I run executive engagements through Action Is Now, my consulting practice, and invest from Lindahl Capital into defence, national resilience and frontier tech. On the talent side I am building Tenperzent, an AI-native recruiting engine for senior hires.
For interim mandates in Italy I am usually found via interimceo.it, ceoadinterim.it and amministratoredelegatoadinterim.com. English-led searches usually land via hireinterimceo.it and temporarymanager.work.
If you are new to the fractional model and want to see how experienced operators work part-time with boards, gofractional.it is a good place to start.
For Swedish-listed and Nordic private-equity mandates I also work as an interim VD through interimvd.com. My notes on the Sverige Italien business corridor live on sverigeitalien.com.
If you need to hire a fractional executive on a defined mandate, or find an interim CEO, CMO or COO for a specific turnaround or growth phase, start with a short brief and we can be in a working session within the week.
What is a fractional manager?+
A senior operator, usually former C-level, who runs a defined mandate part-time for a company that needs the seniority but not a full-time hire. Typical mandates are chief executive officer, chief marketing officer or chief operating officer for two to three days a week over three to twelve months.
How do I hire a fractional CEO, CMO or COO in Italy?+
Send a 5-line brief through the contact form describing the situation, the timeline and what you have already tried. You receive a reply within 24 hours and a first working session within a week for qualified mandates in Milan, Rome or anywhere in Italy.
What is the difference between fractional, interim and consulting?+
A consultant advises. An interim executive replaces a role full-time for a fixed period. A fractional executive owns the role part-time on a longer horizon, with full P&L accountability and hire-and-fire authority.
Do you work remote or on site in Milan and Rome?+
Hybrid by default. Two to three days per week on site in Milan or Rome for Italian mandates, remote for the rest. Travel to board meetings and offsites across Europe, North America and APAC is included in the retainer scope.
Which languages do you work in?+
English, Italian and Swedish, all at full-professional level. Board packs, negotiations and staff communication in whichever language the company operates in.
How much does a fractional executive cost?+
A monthly retainer scaled to days per week plus a success fee tied to defined KPIs. Total cost is typically 40 to 60 percent of a permanent C-level package, with no severance, no dilution by default and a clean exit clause after the first quarter.
