Frequently Asked Questions
A fractional executive is a senior leader who works for your company on a part-time or project basis, typically one to three days per week, rather than as a full-time hire. This model makes sense for MSK companies in three situations: when the company needs C-suite leadership but cannot yet justify the full-time cost, when a critical role is vacant and the company needs experienced leadership while a permanent search is underway, and when a company wants to evaluate a potential full-time hire before making a permanent commitment.
The most common fractional placements in the musculoskeletal industry include Chief Commercial Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, VP of Sales, VP of Marketing, and Chief Marketing Officer. These are roles where the company needs deep industry experience and active leadership, but may not yet have the revenue to support a full-time executive salary. A fractional CCO with 20 years in orthopedic commercial leadership, for example, can build a sales strategy, hire a field team, and establish KOL relationships in the same timeframe as a full-time hire, at a fraction of the cost.
