How much a fractional executive costs.

Discovery · 4,500 EUR one-off

Two weeks of analysis with interviews, number crunching and a diagnostic document. Discovery is a fixed fee and allows both sides to decide with data in hand whether and how to continue with a fractional mandate.

Fractional mandate · 6,000 - 20,000 EUR/month

Monthly mandate depends on role and days engaged. A junior fractional CMO or COO starts at 6,000. A senior fractional CEO with board responsibility reaches 20,000. Active mandates average around 11,000 per month for two-three days a week.

Why it beats a full time hire

A senior full time CEO, CMO, CRO or COO in Italy costs between 180,000 and 350,000 EUR all-in including variable, benefits and social charges. A fractional executive delivers the same seniority at a quarter of the cost, for the time strictly needed.
