    Fractional Leadership: When Your Business Needs It and How It Works with Nish Sampath

    Most companies between $2M and $50M in revenue hit a wall — not because their product isn't strong, but because they've outgrown the operating model that got them there. Fractional leadership is one of the most effective solutions to that problem, and one of the most misunderstood.Keith Daser talks with Nish Sampath, founder of Switch Advisory Group, about how fractional leadership works in practice and why more companies are embedding experienced operators directly into their executive teams. Nish draws a clear line between consulting and fractional leadership: consultants advise from the outside, fractional leaders step inside the business to build systems, hire talent, and reduce founder dependency.Topics covered:What fractional leadership is and how it differs from consulting or interim rolesWhy companies in the $2M–$50M range hit operational inflection points that require fractional supportHow to assess whether your business is ready for a fractional COO, CMO, or CFOWhy AI should amplify strong systems — not substitute for broken onesHow to reduce founder dependency and build a business that runs without youThe FOCKERS: Nish's peer network for fractional leaders in Calgary-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you believe you deserve more from your technology partnerships – connect with the team at:https://www.deliverdigital.ca/?utm_source=videodescription&utm_id=youtubeSell Me This Podcast is brought to you by the team at Deliver Digital, a Calgary-based consulting organization that guides progressive companies through the selection, implementation, and governance of key technology partnerships.
