Fractional CMO

A senior marketing leader, without the full-time hire.

I step in as your fractional CMO (Chief Marketing Officer). I own the marketing strategy and budget, lead your team, and report to you and your board, for a few days a week, for as long as you need it. I take on one or two companies at a time.

Is this for you?

  • You've found product-market fit, but growth still depends on the founder.
  • You're spending on ads without a clear plan or numbers you trust.
  • You're entering Saudi Arabia, the UAE or Egypt and need someone who has done it.
  • You need a marketing team and want the right first hires.
  • You're raising and need marketing numbers investors believe.

What I own

Strategy & positioning

A clear direction, audience and position in the market.

Budget & channel mix

The budget, where it goes and how we judge the return.

Team & agencies

Hire, lead and manage your team and agency partners.

Growth engine

Funnel, tracking, CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and automation working together.

Brand & messaging

One clear voice, in English and Arabic.

Reporting

Questions, answered.

How is a fractional CMO different from a consultant?

A consultant advises. A fractional CMO owns the results: I sit in your leadership meetings, lead your team and answer for the numbers.

How much of your time do we get?

Usually 1–2 days a week, and I'm reachable for urgent decisions.

Can we start smaller?

Yes. A 2–4 week strategy sprint is often the first step.

Do you work in Arabic?

Yes, Arabic and English, for Egyptian and Gulf audiences.

What happens at the end?

I help you hire and onboard a full-time marketing lead, or we continue.

Let's see if it's a fit.

A 30-minute call. No pitch deck needed.
