Fractional Strategy & Leadership

Executive-level leadership — without the full-time cost or complexity

For organizations that can’t wait months for leadership — and can’t afford to stall.

Two business professionals, a woman and a man, are standing indoors, smiling and looking at a tablet the woman is holding. They are dressed in formal business attire.

Hiring a full-time executive costs $250,000–$400,000+ per year and takes months to hire, onboard, and integrate. Meanwhile, momentum slips, teams stall, systems break, and leaders get overwhelmed.

Fractional leadership gives you senior-level expertise immediately — at 60–75% less than a full-time executive, and with meaningful results 3–5× faster.

ReFrame fractional leaders stabilize teams, realign internal systems, and create the clarity and direction leadership needs to move forward with confidence.
