Fractional Executive Search.
The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.
Senior leadership for Vancouver's resource and technology companies, the family firms that trade across the Pacific and the studios and labs building on the West Coast. Chosen through a search and brought into the team on a services agreement between companies, for the part of the week the work calls for.
Governance as a service
We do not make an introduction and step away
One leader, and the collective behind them. We maintain the structure and governance around the engagement to keep it sound. The executive owns the decisions in their domain and the outcome that follows, which is what makes this more than advice.
An operator, not an adviserYour executive works within the team and is judged on the results the business achieves. In a city of small head offices running large projects, one senior operator can change what the whole company is able to do.
Four functions, one collectiveEach engagement is backed by our collective of 800+ vetted executives in finance, operations, technology and people. A small team on the Pacific coast rarely has all four in house, and does not need to.
The roles we match
A full C-suite, on the terms a growing business needs
We focus on the leadership functions that move a company forward. Start with one, or draw on the whole collective.
Proven leadership
Our executives have led at the companies you know
Where we are brought in
A leader for the moment in front of you
Most engagements begin with a moment: a departure to cover, a raise to close, a market to enter, a business to turn around. Find the one that fits.

The Vancouver commercial case
Senior leadership, without the permanent cost
Engagements are set up company to company. You get senior capability for the part of the cycle that needs it, without a permanent hire made at the top of a boom and carried through the bust, and our standard is one month's notice.
Brief a search01
No permanent headcount
The engagement is a company-to-company contract. No salary on the payroll and no headcount to carry.
02
No benefits burden
No medical cover, no benefits administration, none of the overhead a permanent hire brings.
03
No recruitment cost
No recruitment fee. Your leader is matched from a vetted collective and embeds within weeks.
04
One month's notice
Scale the engagement up or down, or step away, on one month. You keep the optionality.
05
Business to business
A company-to-company arrangement, invoiced cleanly. Senior leadership without the employment.
