EP #86: The Rise of the Fractional Executive with Kahlil Dumas
In this episode, I explore the rapid growth of fractional executive roles, which have expanded from 2,000 to over 125,000 on LinkedIn in just a few years. I break down how fractional execs go beyond traditional consulting to drive real results.
Sharing my own journey into fractional leadership after a layoff, I discuss how it boosted my income and gave me the flexibility I needed as a new dad to twins. This experience led me to launch Execnow, a platform connecting companies with diverse fractional talent.
I’m here to guide both companies and executives into this exciting shift – because the future of work is fractional.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
The exponential growth of fractional executive roles and what it means for the future of work.
Key distinctions between fractional executives and consultants.
Kahlil’s personal journey into fractional leadership, from layoff to lifestyle shift.
The benefits of fractional executives for companies and for leaders seeking flexibility.
How Execnow aims to bring more diverse talent into early-stage leadership roles.
Why diverse teams consistently outperform non-diverse teams by 35%.
