Fractional Chief Growth Officer (CGO)
Marketing that builds revenue, not reports.
I'm Alex — Fractional CGO and GTM advisor with 12+ years building growth engines for B2B SaaS, healthtech, and tech startups across 4 continents. I plug in as your strategic marketing leader and get to work.
A repeatable framework. Not a guess.
Most fractional CMOs show up with a deck. I show up with a system — built from 12 years and 100+ brands — that diagnoses your real problem and attacks the highest-leverage point first.
1 – Diagnose
Clarity before motion
Most companies start running before they know the direction. We fix that in the first 2 weeks.

- Positioning audit
- Market landscape mapping
- Funnel diagnosis

2 – Build
Architecture that converts
Channels, content, and funnel infrastructure designed around where your buyers actually live.
- Channel strategy + roles
- Content engine setup
- Full funnel mapping
- Messaging hierarchy
- Lead flow + automation
3 – Launch
Speed-to-signal
Run fast experiments to find what actually moves revenue. No 6-week production cycles for things we haven't validated.
- Growth experiments backlog
- Rapid A/B testing
- Activation optimization
- Campaign execution
- Performance tracking
4 – Scale
Compound the winners
Double down on what's working. Build the team and systems that don't need you to babysit them.
- Winning channel scale-up
- Team structure + hiring
- Agency management
- Reporting infrastructure
- Root cause analysis

- Priority fix list — top highest-leverage changes ranked
