Fractional operators drive outcomes and own strategy — they are not freelancers executing tasks. **Fractional vs freelance:** Freelancers execute specific tasks. Fractional operators take ownership of a function — they set strategy, manage budgets, and are accountable for results, like a senior team member working part-time. **Why companies hire fractional:** Access to proven operators without full-time headcount cost. Results start in days, not months. Flexibility to scale up, scale down, or end engagements without long-term contracts. Ideal for fast-growing companies, companies in transition, or those filling a senior gap. **Fractionus vetting:** Every expert on the platform is screened for senior-level experience, domain expertise, and proven results inside growing businesses. No open bidding, no junior freelancers. ## Notable Talent Backgrounds Fractionus fractional leaders have held senior roles at: Google, Tesla, McKinsey, Salesforce, Afterpay, Pleo, GE Capital, Glossier, BMW, Heineken, Lego, Mastercard, Meta, Shopify, Uber, PayPal, Nintendo, Roblox, DoorDash, Coca-Cola, Airwallex, PwC, EY, Visa, and more. ## Recent Editorial Content - [Fractional Talent for Interim Roles: Smart Leadership Guide](https://fractionus.com/blog/fractional-talent-for-interim-roles) - [How Much Does a Fractional CMO Cost in the US?](https://fractionus.com/blog/fractional-cmo-cost-us) - [Authority Without Presence: How Fractional Leaders Earn Team Buy-In](https://fractionus.com/blog/fractional-leader-team-buy-in) - [UK Employer NI Rise: Why Fractional Hiring Makes Sense Now](https://fractionus.com/blog/uk-employer-ni-increase-fractional-hiring) - [IR35 and Fractional Executives: What UK Founders Need to Know](https://fractionus.com/blog/ir35-fractional-executives-uk-guide) ## Excluded Content - Platform screenshots and image assets - Webflow CMS internal paths - Help request submission forms - Cookie and privacy consent overlays
