Fractional growth leadership for Chicago businesses

Senior marketing, sales and revenue operations leadership for founder-led companies across Chicagoland. Our team is based in the western suburbs, so we can be in the room when it matters.

Who's on the ground

Based in the western suburbs

We've built and run businesses in the Fox Valley and western suburbs for more than 15 years, and we know the local business community.

Most of the week-to-week work happens on video and in your systems. We come on site for the moments that matter: kickoff and discovery, strategy and planning sessions, sales team workshops and quarterly reviews with your leadership team.

How we help

How it works

Every engagement starts with the 90-Day Growth Launch: we find what's driving growth and what's blocking it, build the plan and systems, and get the first changes live. After that, we lead the work in the areas that matter most to you.

Part of our pay is tied to growth, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.

Operating track record

Local experience

Experience selling to Illinois public agencies

Many Chicago-area companies sell to cities, counties, park districts, school districts and utilities, where sales cycles are long and formal RFPs decide who wins. We've led that kind of sales for decades, from the City of Chicago's 9-1-1 Center to the Illinois Tollway to recurring municipal contracts for a client in Aurora.

If public-sector work is part of your growth plan, we know how to build the process for it.
