The Story

A mid-size healthcare technology company had secured Series B funding and was entering its most critical growth phase — expanding into three new geographies, scaling its product team, and preparing its commercial function for enterprise sales. The founding team was operationally strong but lacked the senior leadership bandwidth to execute across all fronts simultaneously.

Hiring full-time CXOs for each function was neither financially viable nor strategically sensible at this stage of growth. The board needed experienced hands at the wheel immediately — leaders who had navigated scale before, could operate independently, and would transfer capability to the internal team over time.

WHAT TECHAIVV DID

Deployed Fractional CXO Leadership Across Three Critical Business Functions

Techaivv matched the company with three senior executives from its vetted CXO network — each with direct experience scaling SaaS businesses through Series B to Series D growth stages. The engagement was structured with individual mandates per function, a shared leadership operating rhythm, and monthly board reporting on progress against strategic milestones.

Our work included:
  • Matching and onboarding three fractional CXOs within 3 weeks of engagement commencement
  • Defining 90-day outcome mandates per function aligned to the board’s growth priorities
  • Establishing a shared leadership cadence across fractional and founding team members
  • Deploying fractional CRO to build enterprise sales playbook and close first three anchor clients
  • Deploying fractional CPO to design hiring plan, culture framework, and leadership pipeline
  • Deploying fractional CTO to lead product roadmap prioritization and engineering team restructure

Challenges Faced

The company needed experienced executive leadership immediately but faced real constraints around cost, cultural fit, and the risk of long-term misalignment with permanent hires.

No Capacity In The Founding Team To Lead Commercial, People, And Technology Functions Simultaneously
Permanent CXO Hiring Timelines Of 4–6 Months Creating An Immediate Leadership Vacuum
Board Pressure To Show Functional Progress Across All Three Areas Within First 90 Days

The Results

The fractional CXO model delivered measurable strategic and operational progress across all three functions within the engagement period.

First Three Enterprise Clients Closed Within 90 Days Under Fractional CRO Leadership
34 Senior Hires Completed In 6 Months Under Fractional CPO's Talent And Culture Framework
Product Roadmap Restructured And Engineering Velocity Improved By 40% Under Fractional CTO

Customer Reviews of the Case

"We needed experienced leaders fast and couldn't afford to wait 6 months for permanent hires. Techaivv placed three exceptional executives who hit the ground running from day one. The progress we made in 90 days would have taken us a year to achieve on our own."
