Fractional Executive Search.

The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.

We search for, vet and match senior leaders from our curated collective, and they embed in your business for the share of the week the work needs. Executive search, done fractionally. In Bangkok that usually means a family group handing the C-suite to its next generation, or an owner-led company that has outgrown running finance and operations alone.

Governance as a service

We do not make an introduction and step away

Behind each executive sits our collective and our own governance. We agree the brief with you, check in on a set rhythm and raise drift early, while the executive holds the decisions in their function and owns the outcome. For a founder-led Bangkok company, that means a senior voice who can say the difficult thing in the boardroom and still strengthen the founder's authority rather than compete with it.

An operator, not an adviserThey take a seat in your leadership team and run their function, measured on what changes in the business rather than on reports. Candid with the family in private, careful of the founder in public.
A collective behind every engagementOur collective of 800+ curated and vetted executives sits behind each match, so your leader can test a hard question with peers who have run family groups, Eastern Seaboard plants and regional hotel chains.

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.

Senior leadership, sized to the work in front of you

An engagement is company to company: you engage the executive's entity for a defined scope, not a person on your payroll. At C-suite level, our engagements typically run 30 to 60% less than a comparable full-time hire, and one month's notice is our standard either way. That matters in Thailand, where a permanent senior appointment that does not work out is slow and costly to unwind.

Brief a search
01

No permanent headcount

The executive's company invoices yours. Nobody joins the payroll, and the organisation chart stays as the family designed it.

02

Seniority for the days you need

Two days a week of a seasoned finance chief often does more for a growing Thai SME than five days of a mid-level manager.

03

No recruitment fee

You pay for the engagement itself. Matching your executive carries no separate search fee.

04

One month's notice

Our standard, in both directions. Widen the brief before a raise, narrow it after a handover, or close it when the work is done.

05

Business to business

Clean invoicing between two companies, which keeps the arrangement simple for your board, your auditors and the next generation inheriting it.

How an engagement works

From the moment to the match, in weeks

Tell us where you need leadership. The first conversation does most of the work, and it stays private, which matters when a succession or a restructure is not yet public inside the family or the firm.

01

Name the moment

A generational handover, a raise from a corporate venture arm, an Eastern Seaboard plant outgrowing its founder: tell us which one you are in.

02

Sharpen the brief

We test the requirement with you until it describes the leader you need, not only the title on the door.

03

Meet the shortlist

We search our collective of 800+ curated and vetted executives, introduce the closest fits, and you choose.

04

Embedded within weeks

Your executive joins the leadership team, takes the decisions in their function and starts on the brief. We stay close throughout.

Common questions

The questions founders ask first

We search for, vet and match a senior leader, often a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) or Chief Operating Officer (COO), who embeds in your business for part of the week. They hold the decisions in their function and are accountable for the outcome. In Bangkok the model suits family companies and owner-led SMEs that need board-level judgement before a full-time appointment makes sense. Every engagement is company to company, with a defined scope.

Our engagements typically run 30 to 60% less than a comparable full-time hire, and there is no recruitment fee on top. You agree the days per week and the scope at the start, the executive's company invoices yours, and one month's notice applies either way. Most engagements last between six and twenty-four months, long enough to see a handover or a raise through.

Yes. A foreign-owned company setting up in Bangkok often needs a finance or operations leader who has built a Thai entity before and can work comfortably with Thai partners, banks and advisers. We match for Thailand experience where the brief calls for it. Your executive runs the function while you decide whether, and when, a permanent local appointment is right.

The model fits four kinds of Bangkok business: family groups passing the C-suite to a professional or next-generation team; owner-managed SMEs too complex for the founder to run alone and too small for a full-time executive; manufacturers and suppliers on the Eastern Seaboard modernising for automotive, EV and electronics customers; and venture-backed scale-ups that need institutional finance before a raise. In each, the right leader is worth more than the saving on the wrong one.

A consultant reports and leaves the work with you. An interim is a full-time stopgap. A fractional executive sits in your leadership team for part of the week, makes the calls in their function and stays for as long as the moment lasts, with our governance around them from the first week to the last.
