This is built for you if…
You're a SaaS founder who runs CS yourself and needs a senior operator to think with. Not a coach, not a board member, an operator.
You're a CRO whose CS function rolls up to you and you need an outside read on whether your VP and your strategy are right.
You're a COO with operational instincts but limited post-sale-specific reps, and you want a thinking partner with that domain depth.
You're between hires (your CS leader just left, or you're months away from the next one) and you need senior strategic coverage in the gap.
You've worked with us on a Project or Fractional engagement and want to keep a senior operator in your corner after we hand off.

“Having Kerri on call has saved me three hires worth of bad decisions. When my VP of CS resigned, she ran the function in the background for six weeks until I closed her replacement. Best money I spend.”
FAQs.
Fractional Leadership is hands-on: embedded in your team, running the function. Advisory is hands-off: strategic counsel, calibration, and on-call support, without execution responsibility. Advisory typically runs 4–8 hours of contact per month. Fractional is 30–50.
